Illegal timber trade to face tough penalties in the E.U.
(02/18/2009) Companies dealing in illegal timber may soon face stiff penalties under a proposed E.U. regulation. The European Parliament voted Monday to impose penalties on companies who use or trade illegally sourced timber. National authorities will have the power to impound timber of illegal origin, fine companies, and even shut down particularly egregious violators. Penalties will be "at least five times the value of the timber products" under the proposal, which will be voted on in April at Parliament's plenary session and then later by EU agriculture ministers.

Little-known flatback sea turtle receives extra attention at symposium in Australia
(02/17/2009) Beginning today in Brisbane, Australia, the 29th annual Symposium on Sea Turtle Biology and Conservation will feature the flatback sea turtle, native to Australia and probably the least-studied of the marine turtle species. For a hundred years biologists debated as to how closely the flatback marine turtle was related to the green sea turtle. Several unique attributes of the flatback came to the forefront. The name 'flatback' describes the turtle's distinct flattened carapace. The species also lays the largest eggs of any sea turtles, proportional to their size. However, perhaps most distinctly the flatback is the only marine turtle to call one nation home. The flatback forages, mates, and lays eggs along Australia's coats; its penchant for swimming, rather than riding oceanic currents, keeps it from migrating across oceans as other turtle do.
Photos: 13,000 species found in Arctic, Antarctic Oceans
(02/16/2009) A marine census has documented more than 13,000 species in the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans, including several hundred that may be new to science. Conducted over a two-year period under often perilous conditions — including monster waves and dangerous polar bears — the series of 18 surveys turned up a wealth of information on the diversity, distribution and abundance of marine life. The research will also help establish a baseline for measure changes in polar ecosystems.
Burning rainforests, melting tundra could accelerate global warming well beyond current projections
(02/16/2009) Projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimate the scale and rapidity of climate change, warned a Stanford University scientist presenting Saturday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Chicago.
Beef consumption fuels rainforest destruction
(02/16/2009) Nearly 80 percent of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon results from cattle ranching, according to a new report by Greenpeace. The finding confirms what Amazon researchers have long known – that Brazil's rise to become the world's largest exporter of beef has come at the expense of Earth's biggest rainforest. More than 38,600 square miles has been cleared for pasture since 1996, bringing the total area occupied by cattle ranches in the Brazilian Amazon to 214,000 square miles, an area larger than France. The legal Amazon, an region consisting of rainforests and a biologically-rich grassland known as cerrado, is now home to more than 80 million head of cattle. For comparison, the entire U.S. herd was 96 million in 2008.
Pricing emissions from farming, logging could shift land use towards conservation
(02/15/2009) Putting a price tag on carbon dioxide emissions resulting from various land use practices could dramatically change the way that land is used, including reducing deforestation and limiting agricultural expansion on carbon-rich lands, said a researcher presenting at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Mass media 'screwing up' global warming reporting says renowned climatologist
(02/15/2009) Stanford scientist and climate-specialist Stephen Schneider has called out media organizations for the quality of their reporting on climate change and other scientific issues.

Love puppet used to teach bird how to find mate
(02/14/2009) At the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo Paprika, a male red bird of paradise, presented a challenge for senior wild animal keeper, Patti Cooper. Upon his return from another zoo, Paprika came back with increased human imprinted behaviors, including speaking some English words. While entertaining to some, this wasn't helping him attract a female of his species. Not wanting to give up on him, Patty enlisted the aid of Carolyn Fuchs in WCS's exhibit shop. Together Patty and Carolyn came up with the idea to create a female red bird of paradise puppet to broaden Paprika's horizons and give him another chance at love.
Fishermen - not whales as claimed by Japan - are the cause of fisheries depletion
(02/12/2009) Fishermen calling for a resumption of whaling to restore commercial fish stocks are taking the wrong approach, argue researchers writing in the journal Science. Analyzing data on fish catch and whale abundance off the coast of northwestern Africa and the Caribbean, Leah R. Gerber and colleagues show that fishermen remove far more fish than whales consume, undermining the agreement by whaling nations that whales are driving depletion of fisheries.
Fit with tiny backpacks, songbirds reveal speed of migration at 311 miles a day
(02/12/2009) Using extra tiny geo-locator backpacks, researchers have tracked songbirds' seasonal migrations for the first time, according to research published in Science .

Butterfly tricks ants by mimicking their queen's vocalizations
(02/05/2009) With cohesive hierarchical societies and a number of communication techniques, ants have been able to conquer a wide variety of ecosystems with great success. However, according to a recent paper in Science ants' highly structured society at times comes with a price. A number of insects have evolved means to covertly infiltrate the ants' society and live off their work and bounty by closely mimicking various ant communication methods. While scientists believe that these parasitical insects largely mimic ant communications like chemical exchange and physical contact—such as touching antennae—the study, however, discovered a butterfly which succeeds in infiltrating the highest echelons of ant society by vocalizing like a queen.

Indian leader calls for end to protests in Peru
Zapata and Congressman Freddy Otarola, spokesman for an opposition party, called on the government to "eliminate the seven other decrees" contested by the Indians.
The violence has major political and economic ramifications in Peru, and could herald further instability.
Conflicts largely pitting communities against the state or business interests rose to 268 nationwide last month, up from 83 at the start of 2008, according to government figures. Most involve foreign oil and mining companies and complaints of pollution and land infringement.
Garcia's missteps in his push to develop Peru's oil and gas resources will also likely slow investment just as the nation's economy is faltering amid low commodity prices.
Politically, Garcia is set to lose his second chief Cabinet minister in less than a year in crises related to oil development. Yehude Simon has promised to step down after settling the Indian dispute and his predecessor resigned in October amid a bribes-for-oil contracts scandal.

Love this stuff. Been using it for upwards of 10 years, and I plan to continue using it.
Pros: (I apply a thin layer to my skin, massage it in, then wash if off)
> Gentle
> Fragrance it subtle
> does not irritate my skin
> no residue left, no dry/tight feeling
> easy to apply and remove
1) does not remove makeup (as mentioned on packaging)
2) there is a subtle fragrance (though it claims fragrance free)
Just to add a bit more, I do not often wear makeup, so I do not require a cleanser to strip away a lot of other product.

This cleanser sucks. Its marketed as a cleanser but does not clean what so ever (or to any extent that I notice).
After I use this, when I use a cotton pad with toner afterwards, a bunch of residue foundation, concealer and eyeliner can still be found on my face. This may be due to the fact that it is a gentler cleanser and probably not meant to wash off a face of makeup (but even so, I had already used makeup remover to remove a good 80% of the products on my face and this cleanser was not able to take off the remaining 20%).
I have heard many good things about Spectro so I was excited to try it, but it ended up being a big disappointment.
Will not be repurchasing.

I love this cleanser. I always thought a cleanser that tingled the skin and smelt amazing was a good cleanser, but how wrong was I. I started using the Cetaphil cleanser as recommended by a dermatologist, but I felt like it wasn't doing anything, so I moved onto those tingly, perfuming ones, and lets just say they messed up my skin. I wanted a new cleanser that was fragrance free and gentle, and I remember couple of my friends using Spectro a couple years back. So I purchased it, and have been using it for over a year and a half, the longest time period I have ever used a cleanser. I first wet a cotton pad slightly with water and put a pump of this cleanser on and remove my face makeup(which isn't very much), and then I follow with using my Clarisonic and the Spectro. I think I have gone through two small ones and three big ones. I very much prefer the Spectro over the Cetaphil due to the ingredients being less harsh. It doesn't clog my pores, or leave my skin red and itchy and tight. I honestly love this cleanser, and I admit I am afraid to try a new cleanser because my skin is doing so well with this one. Try it out, it defiantly won't hurt your skin, or your wallet.

This product is near perfect for me. It cleans my face without compromising my moisture barrier or causing breakouts on my skin, and instead, it does the exact opposite! It leaves my face feeling hydrated and I have noticed crazy improvements on the amount of blemishes and redness on my face. It doesn't remove makeup, which is not a problem for me as it wasn't even initially made to remove makeup. Its use is for getting rid of oil and dirt and leaving your skin clean, and it does a great job at that. HOWEVER it is only NEAR perfect for me because the problem I have with it is the smell. It has a pretty strong scent of alcohol (I have the one thats fragrance free too). Because of this, I thought it would be very drying and would cause a lot of redness but I decided to give it a try anyway since my friend recommended it so highly and im really glad I did! The strong alcohol scent doesn't cause anything on my skin. The only thing I hate about it is the displeasure of having to smell it every time I use it to wash my face. But I guess i can just breathe out of my mouth instead of inhaling it through my nose when I do lol!
Overall, great product and it's a fantastic price for the amount you get. I would highly recommend!

This stuff smells awful and does absolutely NOTHING, I still get break outs, it was a waste of money, and it does nothing for my skin. Don't buy into the dermatologist recommended crap

I bought this product when my local target had a closing sale . I had acne prone skin in my teens which had greatly cleared up until I had an allergic reaction to a certain product which left little bumps on my right cheek. After reading all the great reviews about this product I thought I'd try it out and it might even fix my acne. However after starting to use this I find myself growing the odd pimple every day . I didn't believe this would be the culprit until I stopped using all skincare except for a simple Vaseline and the Spector jel. I have been using Vaseline for a long time and it never broke me out however when I stopped everything I still got breakouts. It was the Spectro that was causing it ! I now went from a smooth face to a face full. Of acne thanks to spectro.

Decent cleanser. Doesn't remove makeup so don't expect it to! I use a micellar water cleanser to remove makeup, then use this stuff. I also use it with my powdered rice exfoliant (SHE Red Rice) and it makes the best paste! Love that this stuff is pH balanced so it wont compromise your acid mantle!

I've been using this on and off for almost twenty years, at the direction of a dermatologist when I was young and acne prone, and would recommend it to anyone. It is a no fuss cleanser that is gentle and does a great job cleaning your skin without any fancy pyrotechnics. I may stray to new products when I get bored, but this is always in my rotation and is like a reliable old friend you know will show up and get the job done. Warning for those who love foaming cleansers: this is a gel that does not foam.

I've been using this for years. It's a much better alternative to that other liquidy "good for acne" cleanser out there. Spectro must be getting much more popular these days. The price has jumped up a bit since I started using it, and they've rebranded the bottles and the logos as well. Still the same good old product, although I will say I miss the smaller squeeze bottle that they've replaced with the mini pump bottle. I use this when I feel that my skin is getting irritated after my cleansing oil, or alone in the morning.

Amazing product, but it takes getting used to. This has been a staple in my house for over a decade and it works beautifully for certain uses. It doesn't dry my skin out, limits breakouts and reduces redness. I use it only in the morning, though, as it isn't effective at removing makeup.
It seems to work best for me if I follow the instructions and gently rub it for 30 seconds. If you're used to squeaky-clean cleansers, this might feel odd at first. It's a sort of creamy gel that doesn't lather and doesn't leave a squeaky finish. It feels different, but it really works for my sensitive, combo, very breakout-prone skin.
It's also one of the only things my baby's skin can tolerate. The typical J&J and Aveeno baby washes irritate him and many so-called gentle and natural baby products give him a rash. It's the only one I've found that doesn't dry out his skin or cause any irritation.
If only it removed makeup, it would be perfect!

Set in scenic Atlanta, the nature-based imagery in the film is a kaleidoscope of beauty for the senses with endless leaf and floral images as the film moves from autumn to winter. While the film is never short on Disney magic with special effects, it's also deeply rooted inreal-life struggles such as economic woes, reproductive problems, sibling rivalry, relationship challenges, bullying and acceptance.
"I fell so in love with this story. There are so many mistakes I made as a first time mom and watching Cindy go through that was incredible," Jennifer Garner said during our Aug. 13 interview in Miami. "This is a life affirming film. When you leave you should be filled with love and think about the film for a few days."
Sporting a dainty dress and Christian Louboutin heels, the 40-year-old actress had an ethereal glow as she talked about her latest film. "I think any first time mom can relate to Cindy Green. We all just need to back off and let our kids be who they are," Garner said.
Peter Hedges, who is the Academy Award–nominated director and writer behind the inspiring 1993 film What's Eating Gilbert Grape, did a mesmerizing job bringing the small fictional town of Stanleyville to life with a vibrant cast which includes Garner's on-screen husband Joel Edgerton and the charming Timothy, played by CJ Adams.
Playing such a moving motherly role also affected the real life mom of three. "The movie reminded me to love my kids as they are," Garner added. "Family is messy and you love each other. Peter Hedges really nailed some things about parenting in this film that has never been done before."
The Odd Life of Timothy Green opens in theaters nationwide Aug. 15.

Hi Joequick,
Love the creativity of your new product, and thank you for creating it. I am a Genesis fanatic.
I started using Daz because I am trying to create my Chicken People for my new comic by the same name. They are people with slighly beaked but human faces and chicken body postures but human bodies, so I need some subtler options with the dials. I fully agree that the advantage of Genesis is to be able to combine characters. For instance, I don't want my characters to be shorter than entirely human characters. That is the case here from what I can see, or am I wrong about that?
Thanks in advance for your answer to my question,
Angie B in AZ
Again, this product is about small cartoon bird characters. Raw's bird cult better fills the needs you describe

This is an interesting comment. One thing CAT has going for itself at the moment, though, is a relatively large short interest -- technically the stock looks poised to move a little higher, which could easily trigger some of those shorts to cover.

The CEO of CAT has been wrong more often than not the past few years, and as a result is under increased pressure to issue more conservative estimates/guidance. 2014 may not be great, still, but when things are great the price won't be nearly as good.

Had CAT not over invested at the worst time its stock wouldn't be priced so favorably.

It's possible you'll never see CAT at $80 again. Right now it looks like BAC did at $5 -- current price discounts the absolute worst.

Not only is this is already being priced into the market, its negative impact is being overestimated.

Digging deep is great, provided you aren't only looking for data to back up your own predetermined conclusion. Keubiko called FGP overvalued six months, and 25% ago -- since then their distributable cash flow has crept closer to 1x as they make immediately accretive acquisitions and refinance long-term debt. And as pass-through entities, MLPs almost all issue additional equity to fund initiatives, so the fact that more shares exist today than 18 years ago is nothing of note.
My point is not that Keubiko isn't EVER helpful or insightful; but in this case, he isn't. His conclusions have cost, or lost, you money if you followed them.Nov 28, 2013. 02:02 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

While it's true that FGP's is not a particularly exciting story, sometimes those make the best stocks to own. A seasoned MLP investor understands the inherent tax benefits to the structure of their distributions. With the overwhelming majority of FGP's distributions coded as 'return of capital' and therefore tax-deferred, the taxable equivalent yield (TEY) is well into double digits for the highest marginal tax rate, and has been since inception. Not interested in income? Reinvest the dividends--your effective cost basis for shares bought in 1994 would be $3 today. Doesn't sound much like a bond to me....

As RE prices have increased, so too has the number/size of outstanding loans eligible for refinance. REITs look good from a technical standpoint, too....

James Southerland provided Syracuse with exactly what it needed off the bench - and then some - in its first visit to Arkansas. Southerland scored a career-high 35 points to lead the No. 6 Orange to a 91-82 win over Arkansas on Friday night. The senior, who was also a career-best 9-for-13 on 3-pointers, helped Syracuse (5-0) win in its first visit to Bud Walton Arena. The 6-foot-8 forward bested his former career marks of 22 points, set against Princeton earlier this season, and five 3s, which he had as a freshman against Robert Morris. ''It felt good when I hit that first shot,'' Southerland said. ''I wasn't expecting to be that open, but I was open and you have to knock it down when you're open, right?'' Brandon Triche and Michael Carter-Williams added 17 points each, and C.J. Fair had 12 for Syracuse - which was 11 of 26 from beyond the arc. Carter-Williams nearly had a triple-double, adding 10 rebounds and nine assists as the Orange pulled away in the second half. BJ Young ...

Chasing the Dead (2006)
by Joe Schreiber
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Chasing the dead is a classic and unique novel due to its different story line. The action on every page tells a story in itself, admitting something new on every page. Not even a page you wouldn't lose Interest in this Story.The story is about a mother fighting to get her child back from an evil, twisted killer. The action and main story is amazing and I highly recommend this book.
This book was good. It was action-packed,suspenseful and on the creepy side. It was a great read and kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting to read more.
Joe Schreiber is extremely good.He makes his book so vivid. Especially this one.Where she has to do jobs for Amysterious man and almost gets killed on the spots so many times.I'd say this book is something i would read over and over again.He is really good at what he does and i hope to read another book from him.
I started this book thinking I was about to read a crime novel about a kidnapping, but before too many pages had slipped by I realized I was actually in for a supernatural thriller. At less than 200 pages this book moved quickly which was a good thing, I like my action non-stop.
A woman with a secret finds out that someone has her daughter and through a series of cell phone calls issues some bizarre instructions that she must follow if she wishes to get her baby daughter back alive. She follows along and as completes each step, another clue is revealed, until she knows what is going on and who the kidnapper is.
I found this a mildly interesting thriller. My disconnect with the book was probably the rather far fetched story that launched this woman's nightmare. I never could quite take what was going on seriously and so never really bought into the terror and suspense.
I am afraid that Chasing the Dead will be one of those books that 3 months from now, I will have a hard time remembering.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345487486, Mass Market Paperback)"You have a very lovely little girl," breathed the voice on the phone. And just like that, Susan Young is drawn into a living nightmare.
A stranger has kidnapped Sue's daughter, Veda. But he doesn't want her money, only her suffering–and he will kill Veda if Sue doesn't follow his every command. With detailed instructions, the faceless abductor leads Sue into a blinding snowstorm on the longest night of the year, to a place she has not traveled to since childhood. The voice on the other end of the line somehow knows Sue's deepest, most chilling secret–an ominous incident from her past, buried long ago...
Across the loneliest back roads of Massachusetts, in the black expanse of a New England winter, Sue is forced to confront her most awful fears as she is met at each step by ever increasing horrors created by a monster who is surely something less than human. In the hope of saving her daughter from a kidnapper whose origin seems darker than anything she could ever have imagined, Sue will discover just how much trauma and fright the human body is capable of absorbing.
Set over the course of a single night, Chasing the Dead is a fast-paced, ferociously tense supernatural thriller. With the skill of masters like Dean Koontz and David Morrell, Joe Schreiber has created a tableau of shock and horror, death and destruction, that will draw you in and never let you go.

New tool to ease permitting headaches on renewable energy projects
Editor's note: This article was originally posted on AOL Energy. Follow the link to view the full article.
By Peter Gardett
Managing Editor, AOL Energy
It is a wonder sometimes that new energy infrastructure is ever built.
On a recent walk-through of a new tool devised to help renewable energy projects with permitting challenges that arise in Department of Defense reviews, the overriding impression was one of wonder. Complex maps and layered data showing flight routes, radar line-of-sight limitations and domestic US military installations left surprisingly scant available open land for project development, although projects that lie in restricted areas do get permitted by DoD.
The new online database tool is a product of two years of work by the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC), developed in response to a system that representatives of the group called "haphazard."
In the past, DoD was consulted at the end of a series of lengthy local, state and regional permitting processes, when renewable energy project developers were required to obtain approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. A number were confused when high-profile projects were delayed for further review by the Pentagon.
The information to evaluate projects in light of military priorities has always been publicly available to renewable energy project developers, NRDC Senior Scientist Matthew McKinzie told AOL Energy on a review of the tool he helped devise to avoid the surprises that project developers were facing in the FAA process. The tool he has put together is called the READ-Database for Renewable Energy and Defense Database, and includes a geographic information system (GIS) database that looks to the casual observer like a Google map layered with variously-shaded areas. Click here for the READ-Database.
The shaded areas "[capture] essential DoD activities, including DoD base, testing and training range locations; low-altitude high-speed military flight training routes and special use airspace; and an extensive inventory of weather and air surveillance radars all within the United States," NRDC said in announcing the new READ-Database tool. The tool, which represents roughly 1800 sites in the continental US, Alaska and Hawaii is available for renewable energy developers who pass an initial utility test by entering information about themselves.

TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
This is more of a thought than a question, but I've always wondered why they didn't utilize some of the TNG era TV shows to set up movies. Granted, you probably couldn't do that with Voyager, but it would have been a nice intro to, let's say First Contact. What I pictured is the most current, at the time, episode of DS9 before the release of First Contact have a scene or two where let's say Sisko talks about the coming Borg threat in which he sends Worf and O'Brien in the Defiant to help fight the Borg and you see them leave, and then that's it. The action would pick back up when it does on First Contact. And then the DS9 episode right after the First Contact release has them maybe being towed back to DS9 and there to be a few scenes regarding the battle. Same with DS9 and Insurrection. You'd be giving a little bit of info that wouldn't ruin the movie. I mean I think it's safe to say that we all knew the Borg would be in First Contact before it was even released so you're not ruining anything about the movie, plus I think it gives a much smoother flow and explains Worf's appearances in the movies much better. And for the record, O'Brien should have been in a least one movie only it it was a cameo. I think he earned that. What do all of you think?
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
I see what you're getting at. It's a good idea, I don't know why it never happened. I could imagine the suits gunning for the idea, using the series eps as giant promos for whatever movie might be coming up next.
Hell, UPN used VOY eps to promote wrestling programs on their network, among other things. But not a ST movie?
I know TNG had somewhat of a tie-in with TUC, using Unification as a big Romulan peace plot with Spock as TUC had a big Klingon peace plot with Spock. But that's not the same thing really.
And TNG had the crossover with DS9 with the "Birthright" two-parter, but even that was a wasted effort. Those TNG eps really had nothing to do with DS9 at all, so they couldn't even get a thing going between two concurrent series. to say nothing of a series with a feature film.
Yeah, I don't know why a transition or tie-in never really was used. You'd think it'd be good for the network/studio with the promotion, good for the fans to see the continuity porn, and so on. Huh.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
I agree that O'brien could have and should have gotten a cameo in First Contact. There's no reason he couldn't be on the Defiant for example. It wouldn't really add much to the movie save that "Hey, there's O'brien" but it would've been a nice cookie.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
Paramount and the shows runners were extremely shortsighted. I seem to recall the reasoning had to do with wanting the TNG movies to appeal to wider audience. They feared if the shows tied into the movies, those who didn't watch the shows would somehow be confused.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
We left off with O'Brien going back to Earth after the war.
Then next up, Riker and Troi are in Alaska for their wedding.
So what happened? Keiko and Miles didn't get an invite?
And they start tossing in Wesley and Guinan for cameos anyway... where's O'Brien? He's already back to Earth, so no one need to invent a reason for him being there (unlike, um, Wesley and Guinan).
I don't know if Meaney refused a cameo or had schedule problems or whatever. But I've never read of any plans to include O'Brien in the wedding scene... on Earth, where he already was. And he was fairly close to both Troi and Riker anyway, it was perfect.
And this was INS, where O'Brien doesn't make the cut... but in the deleted scene, they got Quark to show up??
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
You're probably right. I'm not exact in my memory with DS9 original airdates and INS premiere and Dominion War timeline.
Even still, post-war or not, O'Brien would be an easy choice for an appearance at the wedding. Of all crossover characters, being invited to a wedding for old friends is a
perfect setup. No forced explanations or excuses.
Of course, I was also surprised that none of Worf's Enterprise friends came to his wedding to Jadzia. But hey, what can you do?
The deleted Quark scene in INS wasn't at the wedding party. It was at the end right before beam-out, Quark showed up with some Dabo girls in tow. Really odd appearance out of nowhere.
I don't have any links, I thought it was common knowledge regarding deleted scenes from INS. I think wikipedia or Trekcore or Memory Alpha has some info, it's not that obscure.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
Besides, would the producers of that series really want to set aside an episode, or scenes of their show for an unrelated movie with a different cast and characters? From what I recall, Ira Behr and crew hated the Defiant being pummeled in First Contact. And aside from getting Worf on the Enterprise, what good would it really do? Fans of the series would know a Trek film was coming, they wouldn't need the series to do a primer. The TNG movie audience and the DS9 TV audience were, in many ways, two different beasts.
Also consider, at this stage of the game, video sale and syndicated reruns were now a fact of life when planning a Trek TV series. Why would they take an episode to set up a story that would never be shown in the context of the DS9 rerun schedule? There would be that gap of "what happened to the Defiant" and then people who didn't see First Contact would have to seek it out. Meh.
For die hard fans sure it would be kind of cool to link the franchise, but on a business level, it was probably better to keep the films and TV series separate, except in the most oblique ways with cute character crossovers that don't make a difference to casual filmgoers. If Worf didn't go to DS9, that whole Defiant sequence would never have been made, losing that crossover. The movies exist outside the other series mainly because they aren't run in syndication packages. They get played anywhere, at any time. They have to exist on their own. That's why it doesn't matter the Dominion War wasn't really addressed except in passing in Insurrection. Once the movie is out of theaters and DS9 was off the air, Insurrection could have taken place anytime during that general era.
Anyway, Lursa and B'Tor were on DS9 for an episode setting up Generations and it wasn't even a good episode. They felt out of place in a fairly obvious attempt to connect the dots. I'd much rather see the respective series left to their own devices.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
Don't know if it's true or not but I remember reading that at one stage, the plan was to actually have the Defiant destroyed in FC. Ron Moore was supposedly so annoyed that he said that he was just going to completely ignore it.
God, how that would have messed with our little continuity-loving heads!
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
Extending the Romulan-Vulcan storyline from "Unification" could have been fantastic. Romulan treachery with real Romulans, real TNG-show style Warbirds, high politics and significant Alpha Quadrant consequences, a new Rommie main villain, and a role for Spock. That could have been done very well in capable hands.
Continuing from "Redemption," a good story could have been crafted with Worf, the Enterprise, and the Klingon High Council.
A story centered around Data and Lore could have worked if it was smartly written and avoided becoming campy like B4. Maybe have Lore working with a rouge group ---Cardies or Ferengis ---and draw in Data and the Enterprise.
And I might be lonely in this opinion, but I think TNG's last chapter should have been a Q film that concluded the story arc from Farpoint and AGT. With a good script and quality CGI, that could have been a great big screen Trek adventure and a proper TNG sendoff.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
And the fear of the TNG movies being too involved with the TV series proved to be a mistake.
After all, the one truly successful film in the TNG movie series --First Contact ---positioned itself as a sequel to its most popular two-part episode, BoBW.
The TV series was a very good and popular show. They should have utilized it as an asset instead of running from it. It wouldn't be hard to fill in the general audience with brief snippets of backstory while still delivering a good movie.
The TOS movies constantly referenced and based story arcs from their TV series. Not only did they do that, but the original crew also evolved as characters throughout their movies. Things changed around them and in their lives and they adapted to those changes. It made that film series more realistic and more enjoyable.
We never really got that with the TNG characters in the films. Trek's leaders simply weren't as confident in TNG on the big screen as they should have been. They tried to play it safe, when they should have used the TV success and popularity to boldly go.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
^ But the thing about FC, just as with TWOK before it, was that you didn't need to see the tv episodes which preceded them to enjoy the movies. Maybe it helped. But really, all you needed to know was that Picard had a history with the Borg or that Khan had a history with Kirk.
No in-depth knowledge of either BOBW or Space Seed was necessary, any more than you need to know the ins and outs of the Clone Wars to enjoy A New Hope or to know all about Robert Baratheon's overthrow of King Aegon to enjoy A Game of Thrones. It's stuff which happened in the past which put these characters in the position they're in now.
What TWOK and FC have in common is that they're exciting and emotive films which produced a strong response in Trek fans and casual cinema-goers alike. That's really what made them hits, not the coincidence of deriving from old tv episodes.
Having said that, of course, I accept your point that being a sequel to an old tv ep need not turn off the casual audience.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
I remember when "Trials and Tribble-ations" aired in late 1996. I want to say it aired a few weeks before First Contact was released. When Sisko is explaining the events, he mentions they were on the Enterprise. One of them says, "Be specific, Captain, which Enterprise? There have been five." and the other corrects him and says, "Six." -- suggesting the then-new Enterprise-E, which none of us had seen yet.
Re: TNG era episodes into movie transitions idea..
^And of course, with hindsight, it could have been Jonathan Archer's NX-01 (though you are right, it was clearly written with the ENT-E in mind).
