Creation Con was in Providence, RI this last weekend. I found him to be a pleasant humorous speaker, down to earth. He endured the typical people who, for some reason, can't distingush HIM from the CHARACTER he plays. (eg. Someone asked why he never had prune juice on Earth since he grew up there. In fact he said that previous cons people have brought him Prune juice. People.... this is an exact quote from Mr. Dorn "I don't LIKE prune juice, Worf likes prune juice, I don't." So don't bring him any, ok? His manner of speaking was light and friendly and you could see him connecting with the audience. If he comes your way at a Con, go see him. Ok, now for those of you screaming "GIMME A SPOILER WARNING!" you've been warned...Here's what I found out about ST VI, and TNG. ST VI: The Undiscovered Country - Starts Filming April 15th. They were going to film some of it in Alaska, but due to budget reasons, they aren't. It's SCHEDULED (and we know how schedules work) to be out on Dec. 18th, 1991. At the end of ST VI, we will see how they got from the MOVIES to TNG. This is the last Star Trek movie, WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST (Important phrase). For those who care Sulu will be the captain of the Excesilor (Spelling goof I know!). There will be some tie in to some Klingon in TNG. Mr. Dorn said he is NOT in ST VI. Directed by Meyers, Nimoy exec. producer. TNG: The actors all signed a 6 year contract, so we are going to have 2 more years of TNG episodes coming. The contracts WILL NOT be renewed for more TNG episodes due to costs. TNG is a popular show, but Paramount apparently is not making ENOUGH (Who knows what paramount considers enough) money on it. Patrick Stewart will be directing an upcoming episide (the one before the season finale). The season finale IS a cliffhanger, so get ready for it. The final episode of the trilogy about Worf's honor is upcoming (See program list in this newgroup). TASHA: Yea, Denise Crosby Wants to come back as a regular. Paramount wants to give her a recurring role (Like Guinan,O'Brian, Q). No matter what if she comes back SHE WILL NOT BE TASHA (So all you people who think she comes back Tasha from the Enterprise-C in Yesterday's Enterprise, drop it, it ain't gonna happen) She may come back as Tasha's Sister (Not Sasha, another sister we haven't met before) but I think it's still in the planning stages. TNG MOVIES?: Possible, but not until they are done with the 6 years of epidoses. TNG: Next Season items: The BORG will return - oooohhhhhhh (Did you know it took Stewart 5 hours in makeup to be Borgified? 5 HOURS! It takes 2 hours for Worf's Costume) Worf's Parents will prob. be on That's about all I remember, send flames to /dev/null -- ======================================================================== ======== Leo Sager | REBIRTH!
