Heh. Anyways, I have some news from my own sources that wasn't reported in previous articles, so I thought I'd make it available to y'all. Marina Sirtis reported on what kind of car everyone drives. Marina: white Chrysler Le Baron convertible Patrick Stewart: Jaguar Johnathan Frakes: black Jeep limited edition Michael Dorn: VW Jetta (possibly - Marina's accent was hard to understand) Gates McFadden: Capri (or Caprice?) station wagon LeVar Burton: Black BMW (Marina called it "black upon black upon black"...) Wil Wheaton - Honda Prelude Deluxe Brent Spiner: Toyota Carolla Supposedly, the first car Patrick bought when he got here was a Honda Prelude. Right after he got it, Wil shows up with a brand new Honda Prelude *Deluxe*. Sigh. So Patrick runs out and gets a Jaguar... Also, you may or may not have heard that LeVar was in an incident a while back where he was stopped in his BMW on Highway 5 because he looked like a gang leader. He was dressed like it too, at the time... Johnathan calls Marina "Mina". Johnathan tried for two years to get the opportunity to direct an episode before they gave him "The Offspring". Now, he's slated to direct episode #5 of the fourth season. He's also the narrator for the audiotape of "Gulliver's Fugitives". Colm is from Dublin Ireland, and he supposedly has an incredibly strong accent... Rumor has K'Eyhlar returning sometime in the fourth season. If you were paying attention, you might have noticed the present that Picard received at the end of "Who Watches the Watchers?" show up on the back of Picard's chair in "Sarek". Walter Koenig reported that they're going to make "Moontrap II: Pyramids on Mars"... And Commander Shelby in "The Best of Both Worlds" *is* Brian Dennehy's daughter. Also, John DeLancie's son keeps trying to get him to tell his friends that if they're not good, he'll freeze them... Also, they're already planning the 25th Anniversary Creation Con. It's slated for June 7th, 8th, and 9th, at a cost of $160 for the weekend. Jim [Note - my connection to the real world has been restored.
