This week's TV Guide features a cover story on best-dressed TV stars. Kate Mulgrew (Captain Mulgrew) is under the category of "Wear a Uniform!" section, and Jennifer Lien (Kes) was awarded "Best Dressed Alien"
LONDON (Reuter) - London's Science Museum invited ``Star Trek'' fans Friday to boldly go where they had never gone before -- into the job market.
``Calling all ``Trekkers' for the best job opportunity on Earth,'' read the museum's job advertisement.
It said it wanted fans of the television and film series, who often design or buy their own ``Star Trek'' uniforms, to dress up to act as guides at its forthcoming Star Trek exhibition.
The Captain Kirk or Lieutenant Uhuru wanna-bes will have to audition for the role. Those successful will be paid 4.80 pounds ($7.60) an hour to indulge their fantasies.
``I think we're going to be inundated. We have already had lots of inquiries,'' said a Science Museum spokeswoman.
The exhibition, set to run from Oct. 11 to February next year, will include sets and props from the television series and seven feature films, including Captain Kirk's chair.
When First Officer Chakotay borrows a Shuttlecraft to perform the Pakra, a solitary Indian ritual commemorating his father's death, he inadvertently drifts into Kazon-Ogla territory and becomes the target of a Kazon youth attempting to earn his Ogla warrior name by killing the Federation enemy.
Striking back, Chakotay disarms and destroys the Kazon ship, but not before rescuing the young boy named Kar -- the only surviving lifeform -- by transporting him aboard the Shuttlecraft. Soon, the two are pulled via tractor beam aboard a larger Kazon vessel sent to investigate the explosion. Led by Razik and Haliz, the Kazon-Ogla hold Chakotay prisoner when they learn that because Kar has failed in his first mission, he doesn't earn his name and is sentenced to die . . . by Chakotay's hands.
Meanwhile, fearing their missing comrade is in danger, the Voyager crew -- with Kes and Neelix providing their expertise on Kazon -- sets out to find Chakotay.
Guest starring Aron Eisenberg as Kar, Patrick Kilpatrick as Razik and Tim de Zarn as Haliz.
The story is written by Kenneth Biller. The episode is directed by Rick Kolbe.

In an cover story and interview by Donna Minkowitz for the August 22, 1995 issue of The Advocate, Patrick Stewart says, "It would be very appropriate if the upcoming Next Generation movies made it their business to have gay characters."
Stewart also said he thought that gay people should be dismayed by the fact that they are not portrayed as part of the 24th Century, that he agreed with theories that Q was gay, that he found the idea that Q was simply the another aspect of Picard attractive, that he has read slash fiction and seen homoerotic illustrations of Riker, Picard and Data sharing a shower.
He also talks about his fascination for roles that explore the abuse of power and the fact that the threat of violence played a large role in his childhood.
Here's are some more tidbits:
Q: You may or may not be aware of this, but there are some people who, for whatever reason, are absolutely convinced you're gay. A: So I'm told! This has come to my ears only recently ... I wondered if it could be in any way connected with ... Jeffrey ... I can only say that I feel very good about it. From an evolutionary point of view, the acceptance and embracing of aspects of one's personality is wonderful: To feel areas of vulnerability that I have not in the past associated with being a man. To also be able to admit, as I have been able to in recent years, to deep love and affection--sometimes verging on passion--for some of my male friends and colleagues. It is wonderful to feel at ease and comfortable with their arms around me and mine around them. To have a kind of delight in that. All of this is a very recent experience. Q: You've told an interviewer you felt "much discomfort" about The Next Generation's treatment of women. A: I felt that the writers and producers could not escape from their own essential rigidity in their attitudes to women. They were continually featured as sexual objects, as softer, weaker, and therefore --it always seemed to me-- second-class individuals. And because I believed and still do that the show represents what our underlying philosophies are, it doubly irritated me that in that area I thought we were failing. ... there is kind of a boys club atmosphere about Star Trek, you understand. Our actresses were not finding sympathetic ears.
by Mark Barbisan On Augest 5th and 6th, I went to Toronto Trek 9, a convention in Toronto, Ontario. One of the guest was Majel Barret, I of course, went to both speeches that she put on, but on the Sunday she said something very interesting. Somebody told her that she was surfing the 'Net and was told that Majel Barret's character, Lwaxanna Troi was going to die in the next feature film. Barret quickly responded by saying that she is on the 'Net too, and found the same thing, she quickly called Rick Berman, Executive Producer of TNG, DS9, Generations, VOY and the new feature film. The first words out of Barret's mouth to Berman was "Rick ... I don't want to die!!!". Berman of course, thought she was out of her mind, and didn't know what she was talking about! After Barret told Rick of what she found on the 'Net, Rick said that it was just something somebody made up, and they have NO intention of killing Lwaxanna Troi.
LONDON (Reuter) - Warp travel and wormholes, once the province of
science fiction, are both possible and could one day be used to allow
humans to travel faster than the speed of light, British astronomers said
Sunday.
The Royal Astronomical Society said it was preparing to publish a
paper that would bring new life to visions popularized in the ``Star
Trek'' television and film series.
The report by Ian Crawford, an astronomer at University College
London, suggests that modern physics may allow two possible ways around
Albert Einstein's theory that nothing can go faster than the speed of
light.
``The proofs are complex and mathematical, but more and more
astrophysicists are satisfied that in theory it is possible,'' Crawford
told the Sunday Times newspaper.
``Wormholes'' -- rifts in the fabric of space caused by intense
gravitational fields surrounding objects like black holes -- are one way.
Travellers could pop in at at one point and then leave at another,
thousands of light-years away.
Another way would be by using warp drive, a propulsion system that
distorts space by compressing it in front of a spaceship. Higher
mathematics sees space-time as a line that could theoretically be
crumpled.
``Wormholes have been around in different parts of physics and
astronomy for at least 20 years as a concept,'' Simon Mitton, an
astronomer and spokesman for the British Astronomical Society, told
Reuters in a telephone interview.
``But what is new in this paper is that he thinks he's found some new
properties of these wormholes.''
Physicists had believed that anyone trying to travel through a
wormhole would be torn apart by gravitational forces, but Crawfoard said
ways had been found to stabilize them.
``It's entirely theoretical,'' Mitton warned. ``All of this is to do
with the structure of space-time.''
He added, ``It is quite important to realize that when learned
societies publish a paper of any sort, the publication of the paper does
not imply the collective endorsement of the entire society.''
The following was posted my Mike Okuda on AOL's Star Trek forum: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subj: Re:Newer sources Date: 95-08-09 23:51:18 EDT From: Okuda23392 Posted on: America Online Regarding newer sources, the Star Trek Omnipedia, set to be released in a few days from Simon and Schuster Interactive, will help fill that need. This CD-ROM is based on the Star Trek Encyclopedia (by myself, Denise Okuda, and Debbie Mirek) and the Star Trek Chronology (by Denise and I). The CD-ROM will contain updated material beyond that in the hardcopy editions, and will feature lots of multimedia elements. S&SI also plans to issue update disks to keep the product current. Simon and Schuster Interactive is indeed hard at work on a Klingon CD-ROM project. They probably wouldn't appreciate us saying too much at this point, but they've done over two weeks of shooting on the Paramount lot for this project, and they've involved several Star Trek writers. Also involved is Klingon language inventor Marc Okrand. We haven't seen anything final, but the stuff we have seen is extremely cool. By the way, the live-action scenes were directed by Jonathan Frakes, and much of the behind-the-scenes crew of Star Trek Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine worked on this project. Finally, Viacom Interactive (I'm not sure if this is the actual name of the company) is in production on a CD-ROM game based on Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Again, we've not seen a final version of this, but the art we've been shown is very cool. They've had a photo crew perform extensive photodocumentation of the sets to help insure the authenticity of the product. -Mike and Denise

This a messsage posted by Joe Straczynski, Babylon 5's Executive Producer
on August 9:
It's the story that followers of STAR TREK have been discussing,
analyzing, disseminating and hearing for nearly thirty years, involving what
polls and conventions have consistently shown to be the single best episode
of the original STAR TREK series ever produced: "The City on the Edge of
Forever."
What *really* happened? Who *really* did the final produced script?
How did the original script come to be, what was in it (and almost as
important, given rumors, what *wasn't* in it), and what do those most
directly involved have to say about it?
For the first time, you'll hear directly not only from Harlan
Ellison (the article in the TV Guide special ST issue was basically just a
warm-up), but also from Leonard Nimoy, Peter David, DeForest Kelley, Walter
Koenig, D.C. Fontana, Melinda Snodgrass and George Takai...not in
interviews, but in essays they have themselves written on the subject, for
publication for the first time.
Publication where, you ask? In THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER, the
definitive book on the subject just completed by Harlan and those indicated
above. The limited edition book contains not only the first version of the
script, but subsequent revisions, two of the original treatments, actual
correspondence printed here for the first time which will dispell many of
the rumors circulating for over 30 years, afterwords by those noted in the
paragraph above, and a 20,000 word introduction by Harlan Ellison.
Publication of this book is one of the most eagerly awaited events by
followers of STAR TREK. Advance orders have been pouring in, and only 330
copies of the special limited edition remain, at $75 plus $5 shipping and
handling (UPS insured) from Borderlands Press, a noted and prestigious
publisher of quality limited edition books. These will be shipping on
October 1st. The book has already been completed, and is now at the
printers being typeset and bound.
A regular trade hardcover edition will be available later, starting
December 1st, at a price of $25, plus $5 S&H.
This, as they say, is the Real Deal, with information withheld from
publication for 30 years, made available here for the first time, along with
the ability to show the progression through various stages of the script
that became "The City on the Edge of Forever." For writers interested in
studying scripts, for followers of the show who want exclusive behind the
scenes info, for anyone with an abiding interest in things Trek...this is
going to be *the* book to buy, the only Star Trek-based book ever likely to
come from Harlan Ellison, and thus a sure collector's item.
Visa/Mastercard orders can be placed at 1-800-528-3310, or send check
or money order to BORDERLANDS PRESS, PO Box 146, Brooklandville, MD 21022
The VISICON convention (Ireland, June '96) now has its own Web page. The URL is: http://www.internet-eireann.ie/Visicon/visicon.htm
The Romulan Warbird and the Mini-ships ornaments are in the store! The Picard and Kirk ornaments haven't yet arrived.
by BGlinda@aol.com James Doohan: Mr. Doohan stated that he was happy to be back in San Francisco. This is the city he met his wife in. He said that he didn't mind signing autographs but only one. If someone presented more than one item, it would cost $10. He talked about the bright children asking questions. Years ago it was mostly adults at conventions but recently there had been a trend that children got up to the microphone and asked really thoughtful questions. For example. Recently he'd been asked if you could transport something moving and he answered "Absolutely not!" Then another youngster stood up and said that in Star Trek 4 they transported whales out of the ocean. Well, ever thinking on his toes he responded they were caught in a frozen moment. He then recalled it was a Klingon ship and we don't know how they work. Many people had pointed out that they had looked over the Enterprise blue prints and THERE WERE NO TOILETS on the Enterprise. Mr. Doohan talked about how the Enterprise would look if he were the Captain. He'd limit Ensign Kirk to one girl every five years. Chekov could never scream again. Sulu would never be allowed to carry arms. Uhura would have more lines than "Hailing frequencies open captain." Bones would never be allowed to say "He's dead Jim." And Spock would never be allowed in Scotty's engine room. Last time he died. But he was the best director ever to sit in that chair. Max Grodenchik (Rom on Deep Space Nine): Funny man! "This is what I look like in person. I'm taller!" Then he demonstrated Nog's walk and voice. Quite different from the actor. Mr. Grodenchik talked about his audition for Deep Space Nine. He was trying out for Quark when he ran into Armin Shimerman. Mr. Shimerman said that they were both up for the role of Quark and Mr. Grodenchik thought he must have a relative, an uncle or something, on staff at Paramount . Then Mr. Shimerman said "because we're the only short guys on the lot." Avery Brooks: Mr. Brooks arrived looking like the Hawk character, head shaved with a goatee and mustache. When asked who designed his new look he responded "God." He is a very animated speaker who seems to talk directly to his audience. He is professor of theater at Rutgers University for the past 23 years, so he is well versed in his craft of live performance. He loves being a Captain. He gets to say ENGAGE. Jonathan Frakes directs a recent episode of DS9 and Michael Dorn will be a recurring character. So much for TNG crossover. Mr. Brooks will direct an episode soon. Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) and Mr. Brooks' own son are good friends and play basketball whenever they get together. He has a daughter and two sons and responded when asked if they thought it was special that he was on Star Trek that "...all they care about is that I'm dad." His favorite prop is his clock that he's always working on. Colm Meaney makes him laugh. He sings to Nana Visitor's son. When asked what it felt like to punch out Q he said that if had known the lore he'd have punched him harder. Mr. Brooks sings opera, was born in Evansville Ind. and raised in Gary Ind. When asked how he feels about Sisko he responded "For brown children and all children, to think, in the long thought, you will still be alive in 300 to 400 years." His response to a question about what new ground he wanted to see was [things] "are moving so quickly, not just technology but our minds. What is a human being. In the classroom - tell the truth." Who was his role model growing up. "All I ever knew was what my parents taught me. My inspirations are my mother and my father." He left the stage singing in a wonderful baritone voice "For All We Know." Garrett Wang (Pronounced Wong. Harry Kim of Voyager): His parents were in the convention hall and were introduced to the audience. He is a grand mimic and imitated George Takei perfectly. He talked about he previous acting rolls, such as on Marget Chow's show, and commercials. (He had longer hair then.) He told about working in a McDonald's commercial as an employee then realized he had just followed Mr. Brooks. He imitated Mr. Brooks giving his credentials: Shakespeare, Paul Roberson, etc., and "I did a commercial." He was hilarious. He did an Irish accent for Kate Mulgrew (Captatin Kathryn Janeway, Voyager) and she roared with laughter. Robert Duncan McNeil (Tom Paris of Voyager): Mr. McNeil had his young daughter, Taylor, with him on stage. Sweet little girl. He said that he and his family had walked around San Francisco with a guide book looking for Star Fleet Academy and couldn't find it. Did anyone know where it was located? It was meant to be a joke and he was surprised when his San Francisco audience screamed back to the stage that Star Fleet Academy was at the Presidio. (Spanish for fort. Recently converted Army base, now a national park.) He has a new nickname on the set given by Ms. Mulgrew. Spike! He keeps getting his hair cut shorter and shorter. Marina Sirtis: Ms. Sirtis posed for cameras and asked that after that time no flash pictures be taken because it blinded her. People continued to ignore her request to return to their seats and refrain from using the flash. They took pictures throughout her appearance, but she stayed on stage and addressed the compliant audience members. She was delightfully funny and as lovely as always. Why did they have Troy at the poker games? She's an empath! Ms. Sirtis said she would like to see a scene where she had a stack of money stating that she sensed Riker was bluffing. "I win!" as she scrapes the money to her side of the table. She wanted to set the record straight about the rumors that she didn't like the script for Generations. When she first read the script and got to the part where she gets to drive the ship. She called her best friend on the show (Michael Dorn) and said "I get to drive the Enterprise." Mr. Dorn asked if she had read the script and when she said no he suggested she call him back when she finished. She was dismayed when she discovered she wrecked the Enterprise. Ms. Sirtis wondered why they would give someone the keys and not tell them where the brake was. Further she pointed out that in the first season they gave the keys to a blind guy, then to a kid who wasn't old enough to get a drink in 10 Forward. Afterwards, the person who got to drive was any woman in a red shirt, but they had to be nice to Data. Ms. Sirtis ended by thanking her fans. She said that everything she was and everything she had was because of them. She said that if there were no Star Trek fans keeping the shows alive she would never have come to this country from England and would not have met her husband.. Leonard Nimoy: Mr. Nimoy showed bloopers and scenes from Star Trek 4, the movie he directed. There was an announcement that Mr. Nimoy would not be signing autographs. Many people walked on stage to get his autograph anyway. He was extremely gracious and signed all requests. He was very complimentary of William Shatner's acting ability by showing Mr. Shatner acting to a blank wall. He spoke about his son Adam directing him in an episode of the new Outer Limits. Mr. Nimoy had also stared in the original show. He spoke about the tremendous reward he felt as an actor and a father to have the opportunity to work with his son. Mr. Nimoy has written a follow-up to his autobiography "I Am Not Spock" which many thought was a criticism of his role on Star Trek. His new autobiography "I Am Spock" celebrates his long run as the universe's most beloved Vulcan. This convention attendee has never had such an experience before. I have seen him - the great one himself . Live long and prosper Mr. Nimoy.
By Natasha Tavares Tim Russ said that Voyager started filming on July 1st, confirmed that Frakes has directed an episode and talked a little bit about upcoming shows. He said that we learn more about the crews' families. He mentioned that there are a couple of episodes where we get a back story for Kim and Paris. He also said that we'd get to see Tuvok's wife in an episode where Voyager comes across an alien lifeform that's trying to take over the ship, and makes Tuvok see her. He mentioned that Tuvok has 4 children. When asked if Voyager's disappearance was ever going to be addressed on DS9, he said that it was a question that TPTB had already been asked, and that yes, it would make sense to have them do that. He made it sound like they were working on that. Majel Barret denied the rumor that the next movie will see her dead. She said that she saw the rumored script on the 'net, 'phoned up Berman and read it to him, and he assured her that none of it was true. She doesn't even know if she'll be *in* the movie. But she did say that the movie should be out for November '96. When asked if Lwaxana would re-appear on DS9, she said that she'd like it, and she even had an idea for a story that she pitched to TPTB (The Powers That Be). She described it in 2 words. "Lwaxana's pregnant." [!] She said that the teaser would involve her beaming onto the station, looking very obviously pregnant, and her first words would be : "Would someone please tell Odo I'm here." She also had an idea about how she could be on Voyager. As a visual representation of the computer. She described it as a hairless white head that appeared whenever anyone talked to the computer. She was willing to go uncredited, she just wants to appear on the show. However, TPTB responded to this suggestion with "It sounds expensive." When asked about the problems with the Generations script [*not* the leaks, the writing], she would only say that she agreed with the questioner, that mistakes had been made and hopefully had been sorted out by the next movie. One more thing that's more a rumor than anything, apparently TPTB want to downsize the cast of Voyager, and the three names on top of the list to be cut, based on fan reactions, are Kim, Neelix and Kes.
July 29, 1995
Houston, Texas at the Harvey Hotel
Guest: Robert Duncan McNeil (Tom Paris, Voyager)
First, I'll give you all the non-spoilers, followed by a spoiler section.
NON-SPOILERS:
1. Garrett Wang reads the Internet "EVERY DAY". He frequently prints out
interesting articles and shows them to the rest of the crew. Hi Garrett!
"You won't BELIEVE what they're saying now!!!"
2. Robert Picardo (The Doctor) read the net occasionally, but not every day.
3. McNeill has a Mac, and during the fall before Voyager aired, he used his
Mac on the e-World (or was it e-Net) network to learn what fans thought
about the idea of a new Trek show. He hasn't used it since the fall, but
he gets updates from Wang on what the fans are thinking.
4. There will be THIRTY (30) episodes of Voyager in season 2. It was not
clear if the not-yet-scene four episodes are considered season 1 or 2.
5. There is no truth to the rumor that McNeil and Mulgrew are having an
affair. (I must have missed this rumor.) HOWEVER, McNeil and Mulgrew's
trailers are facing each other. All the other crew members have trailers
on the other side of the lot.
6. McNeil said the Voyager bible said the ship would "recycle" its energy
while flying through space. (Hydrogen collectors?) He has no idea why
they threw that out.
7. Ethan Phillip's real name is "John". The "Ethan" name had to be inserted
because of some union thing(?).
8. [Ethan] John Phillips wears his pants very low when filming, and often
"bends over" when guests are on the set to show them, well, uh... his
back side. :-)
9. McNeil has only been in one movie. He-Man: Masters of the Universe.
He and Courtney Cox played the "human teenagers" on the planet Earth.
10. McNeil and one of the other Voyager actors will be directing episodes
in the future.
11. They usually work 14 hour days. There must be at least 12 hours of rest
time between work days. (i.e., Monday's 6am-8pm, Tuesday 8am-10pm,
Wednesday 10am-midnight, etc.)
12. There isn't much time to prepare for your role. Sometimes they don't
get the script until 9:30pm Sunday when they start filming Monday at 6am.
13. A kid asked "How much do you get paid?" "Standard Starfleet salary!"
14. McNeill has been friends with Wil Wheaton since the "First Duty" TNG
episode.
15. The writers spent a bunch of time on the Doctor, Neelix and Kes,
because they were afraid they would get neglected. Apparently, they
took this to the extreme.
16. McNeil's favorite episode is "Ex Post Facto" because he likes kissing
the "Bird Lady". "Faces" is his second favorite, because it was one of
the few times he got to work with Roxann Biggs-Dawson.
17. One time, McNeill had one of the prop guys take those gigantic
communicator's from the 14" dolls available at toy stores, and attached
Velcro to it. During a scene filming with Kate, he took off his small
communicator, put the big one on, and when Kate turned around to deliver
her line, she started laughing.
18. McNeil spent about two years doing auditions for the show "Going to
Extremes" (from the creators of Northern Exposure). He wanted to
audition for Deep Space Nine, but the "Going to Extremes" auditions
required all his time. He did get the job on Extremes, but it flopped
in the ratings.
19. After "Extremes" flopped, his agent called him and said that they
were doing auditions for the "Star Trek: Generations" film. He went
to audition, and got the part for the "series". Both McNeill and his
agent were confused, because they thought it was for Generations (they
thought the movie had something to do with the "First Duty" episode.)
The confusion resulted because his agent, when told it was for a
"spinoff", never assumed two new series (DS9 and Voyager) would occur so
soon after another, and thought Paramount was incorrect, and that it
was for the movie. :-)
20. He was in the play (NOT the movie) "Six Degrees of Separations".
21. He is 30 years old. He gave his exact birthday, but I forget. Someone
mentioned "Ah, you're a Scorpion", and he confirmed that.
22. He played a character on some soap opera, but I can't remember the name.
23. The characters that have to have extensive make-up sometimes have to
get to work as early as 2:30 in the morning.
24. Roxann Biggs-Dawson (B'Elanna) is affected by the makeup, and frequently
breaks out from it. Not pleasant.
MINOR SPOILERS FOLLOW:
1. The Tom Paris-field medic story line is DEAD. McNeill didn't want to be
a doctor, and the script writers think Kes fits the role much better.
2. Most likely, will never see the Delaney sisters, only talk about them.
3. In an upcoming episode, McNeill pours his heart out to some girl. He
really hated that scene.
4. McNeil says Jeri Taylor says Paris and Chakotay's relationship will be
expanded in season 2.
5. In an upcoming episode, there are a bunch of explosions, filling the
room with smoke. The next day, they filmed more from the same scene,
but everyone on the set forget the room was supposed to be filled with
smoke. They didn't have a day to spare and re-shoot the scene, so look
for this scene where suddenly all the smoke from the explosions disappear.
6. The pool-hall holodeck scenes will no longer be filled with smoke, as the
entire set and surroundings must be filled with smoke, and all the cast
and crew have a hard time working in it. So, holodeck is now a
smoke-free environment.
7. Kes is two years old.
MAJOR SPOILERS FOLLOW --- WARNING --- MAJOR SPOILERS FOLLOW
1. Only three people from TNG can make it to Voyager...
(a) Q
(b) Wesley
(c) Barclay
Barclay WILL be in an upcoming episode. The plot wasn't discussed. :-)
Nothing yet known about Q or Wesley. Barclay is a "computer expert".
2. Tom Paris and Harry will be in an upcoming episode in which they exist
in an "alternate reality", back on Earth. Involves many explosions with
Harry and Tom in a shuttle.
The Minneapolis convention was scheduled to run from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Andrew Robinson was scheduled at 5:50! Say what??? A Deep Space Nine music video ran before his appearance to get us in the mood. Garak did not appear in the video. These two facts might have daunted a lesser performer, but AR is made of more resilient stuff. "Where was Garak in that montage?" he asked in outraged tones as he bounded onto the stage. "What am I, chopped liver? I'll have you know that on Cardassia I'm considered hunky." He was asked, of course, about Worf's addition to the cast. He had actually been more concerned about the Defiant being added in the previous season. He didn't want DS9 to change into TOS format of "One Night Stands" where a group of Star Fleet types boldly went off to kick some new butt each week. Where would that leave Garak, Quark, etc. Fortunately, the Defiant didn't hurt the show. The third season was the best yet. He thought Worf could shake things up in a positive way. He spoke of trying out for the role of Odo and leaving the room with his head hanging, knowing he'd blown it. When he auditioned for Garak, "Everything I threw out stuck to the ceiling. I figured if they gave the role to anybody else, he must be a genius, because this role is MINE!!! He was asked how Garak would fare in a competition with Q. He admitted that Q was tougher, but insisted that Garak would get the last word. He was asked why Garak was evicted from Cardassia. He said, "That's the sort of secret which can only be revealed in the last episode. Garak ALWAYS gets the last word.
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Hi everybody. Glad to be here. Glad you're out there!!!!
Beam yourselves up.
Mr. Quark (Member Question)
Armin, what does it feel like wearing thathuge ferengi mask?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Its a little like having a head cold. Very
claustrophobic. especially on warm days.
Whew!!!!!
AJoeyK (Member Question)
Out of all the characters you've played,
which is most like you?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
The two closest is probably Bernie on
Brooklyn Bridge and Pascal on Beauty and the
Beast. Pascal Is the closer.
Helios (Member Question)
What other "non-trek" roles have you played?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Whew. I have been a working actor for twenty
years. There are too many to enumerate.
AJoeyK (Member Question)
Do you think you bear more than just apassing resemblance
to Ethan Phillips?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Let's see we are both balding. Both short.
Both work on Star Trek. Both incredibly
handsome. Wait a minute, I think I am Ethan
Phillips
Helios (Member Question)
How long does it take to get all that makeup on?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Ah, the old make-up question. Let's see....21/2 hours.
AJoeyK (Member Question)
Do you think Neelix from Star Trek: Voyager
is a copy of Quark?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Good question. I truly believe the character
of Neeelix was in some way based on Quark.
However, there are enough differences
between the two to keep Ethan and I happy.
Although we find ourselves, sharing the same
costumes.
EWORTH (Member Question)
Rom has been getting stronger in each
episode that he has been in. Do you think
Quark is getting weaker? Does that bother
you?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Rom is getting stronger which conversely
will only make Quark stronger. You are only
as good as the conflicts you overcome. I am
totally jazzed by Rom's new found strength.
DS9 Fan 95 (Member Question)
Were you a big Star Trek fan when you were
growing up?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Yes. From day one.
Helios (Member Question)
What is your working relationship with other
actors on the show?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I have a wonderful relationship with all of
them. But because of our mutual backgrounds
and the massive extent of time that we spend
together, none of the relationships are as
strong and loving as the one I have with
Rene.
JAYRI (Member Question)
Who is the new character going to be in
the next season of DS9
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Where have you been??? WORF - a
non-Ferengi.
Rodor (Member Question)
I just want to say you portray Quark
superbly and I think they should expand your
role. Any chance of some major Quark storylines
next season?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Rick Berman, our executive producer, has
been quoted as saying that Quark driven
stories are a major asset to the show. You
can bet on more Quark stories for season 4.
Moderator (Speaker)
Great news!!!
Cougre (Member Question)
Quark, will we ever get a comprehensive list
of the 'Rules of Acquisition'?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
As soon as Ira Behr pens them all. Say year
2010.
Feanor1 (Member Question)
Armin!!!!!! Off-camera, what sort of pranks
do you play with the other cast memb?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
This question is often asked as Conventions.
Its a common fallacy to believe because TNG
members played practical jokes on their set,
that we do the same on ours. We are a much
more serious, less fun loving, less prankish
sort of set. I have never heard of a prank
ever being pulled on anyone on our set.
Ubliet (Member Question)
How is it possible to memorize all of the
Ferengi law in your role as Quark?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
There is a old, ancient tome gifted to me by
Roddenberry in it are all the rules and I
meet with a Ferengi magi who quizzes me once
every 43 days.
Zak21 (Member Question)
What's your favorite episode?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
House of Quark. If you haven't seen it, find
it. I was amazing!!!
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
How Come you never heard of me? Because
Michele over at the publicists, Bender
Goldman and Helper, is doing her job well
enough. I don't know. I guess you don't go
to the bars I do.
Zak21 (Member Question)
Do you get any ferengi girls?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
What do you mean "get" ??
BretMaverick (Member Question)
Hi I am Big Fan of DS9, I am just wondering
Armin is there any plans for a somewhat of a
love affair between Cisco and Dax....
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
What do I care about Sisko! I SAW HER
FIRST!!!
Cavekitty1 (Member Question)
Mr. Shimerman love your character... How are
you doing tonight?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I'm a little frazzled. I go back to work
tomorrow morning for the first time in 3
months. All that rubber. HORRORS!!!!
FLAG ADMIRAL (Member Question)
What episode of the NEXT GENERATION were you
a Feringi in?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I played all the Ferengi on TNG. Don't let
any of those other actors tell you
otherwise.
Terrorspud (Member Question)
Is there any way you will be leaving the
show?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Yeah if they don't give me a raise!
Feanor1 (Member Question)
Armin, who's YOUR favourite Ferengi?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
My favorite Ferengi is ROM.
halucin8 (Member Question)
hi hi hi there Armin.........do you have any
real experience as a bartender ?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
No, but I was a terrific waiter at the
restaurant, Victoria Station. My wife,
however, was a bartender when I met her.
Halfmast (Member Question)
Armin....It is my pleasure to meet you. I
was told that you were once in the Navy. Is
that true?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
You've been at sea too long. Hell no!
Dialogist (Member Question)
Armin, conventional wisdom says that you can
always benefit in some way, even from the
most...unfortunate circumstances. What good
things (for you) came out of being in
"Stooge Mania"?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I have tried for years to forget Stooge
Mania. You have done your homework.
Mr. Beta (Member Question)
How do you feel about the decision of
brining the character of WORF to DS9?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Michael Dorn is a wonderful man and a
friend. He will bring a wonderful conflict
with him which can only make the show richer
and more dramatic. It'll will be good to
spend the early morning hours in the make-up
trailer with him.
MOOK (Member Question)
My friends tell me I act like a Ferengi,
Should I be proud or insulted?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
You should change your friends.
AbieBaby (Member Question)
Has my favorite character Morn ever said a
word or made even a sound?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Never said a word. I Don't know if he has
muttered or not, but I think not.
GOLIATH98 (Member Question)
What is the hardest part of playing a
Ferengi ?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
The look of disdain in the eyes of the other
actors.
AbieBaby (Member Question)
I think Andrea Martin could become the
Lwxanna Troi of DS9. Might she return next
year?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
If she can stand the gruesome make-up
process, again. You'll have to ask her.
SpockBoy (Member Question)
Do you like to use the 'net? do you have a
homepage? If so, what's the URL?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I use a computer at home every day. the
URL??? you are ill???
GOLIATH98 (Member Question)
Because you look so different when your out
of your makeup do you ever get recognized ?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Mostly not. A situation which I quite relish.
I wouldn't change my anonymity with
anyone.
A GentleMan2 (Member Question)
Can you tell me how long it takes to tape
the average episode of DS9, and how far in
advance of its air date is it normally
completed?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
We take 7 to 8 days to shoot an episode. It
takes about 8 weeks to air. Post production
takes a while to do.
BretMaverick (Member Question)
is there gonna a love interest for you?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I should think so. Quark is after all the
STUD of Ds-9. I've had more love interests
than even Bashir.
Dicer Dave (Member Question)
What will you do when DS9 goes off the air?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
CRY!!!
Sweet Satin (Member Question)
will they ever make a movie with DS9
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
That truly depends on the financial success
of the next couple of TNG movies. Personally
speaking, I don't think lightning can strike
three times in the same quadrant.
GAlaxar (Member Question)
How many seasons would you predict DS-9 will
remain on air?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
6 all together
Doc Zim (Member Question)
Who is the comedian on the set?

Cirroc
Dialogist (Member Question)
Could you please define (in 500 words or
less) the "unique Shakespearean acting
approach" that you teach?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Real quickly. I teach Elizabethan Rhetoric
which is the Rosetta stone to making
Shakespeare's language understandable and
approachable.
ARDac (Member Question)
I really enjoyed "Family Business". Did
you enjoy doing it?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Yes. I loved working with Max and Andrea.
And the real icing on the cake was having
Rene direct. It came out well, didn't it.
aaronmk (Member Question)
DO YOU THINK YOUR PLAYING OF THE FIRST
FERINGI SET STRIDE FOR THE REPUTATION OF THE
FERINGI FROM THEN ON?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Good question. I live with the guilt of
knowing my lack of success at playing the
first Ferrengi, who was suppose to be a
short savage being, and instead turned out
to be a comic gerbil is a great
disappointment to me. Further, all the
actrs who followed were forced to follow in
my misdeeds. That's the stride I
unfortunately set.
Philster (Member Question)
Do you have any plans to appear in a
Broadway play?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I have done 4 Broadway shows. I hope one day
to get back to where I truly belong (sans a
lot of makeup).

Will your wife be making any return
appearances next season?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)

Sanctuary. We all hope for her character,
Bajoran minister Rozhan, to reappear. Would
you all write in and ask for her. Write to
Star Trek, 5555 Melrose Ave., LA, Ca. 90036.

what are the masks made out of? is it Latex?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)

bigdog tired (Member Question)
How do you eat with those teeth in?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Absolutely not. The only relief I have of
being in the makeup for so long (16 hours)
is the satisfaction of taking the teeth out.
But I have eaten a lot of scenery with those
teeth.
NyteFiori (Member Question)
Where you ever on an episode of "Married

Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Yes. I was trying to get my dog, humped.
MLE fan (Member Question)
I'll admit it took me a while to warm up to
DS9 after watching TNG for so long, but
Quark was my favorite from day one. A

Thank you. You are very kind.
My numberis 213)555 ....
CHIEF TIM (Member Question)
So tell us, how fast does the Defiant REALLY

Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I don't know. It just sits there on Stage 18.
spockfan (Member Question)

political intrigue of DS9 "fascinating".
Will we be seeing more of the Dominion next
season?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Yes.
PalVal (Member Question)
Will Quark ever marry?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Why put all your latinum in one bucket?
goddess2 (Member Question)
Jonathan Frakes has been a guest star and a
director last season. Rumor has it Tom Riker
will be back again this year. Is there any
truth to that rumor? Will Frakes direct any
episodes again this season?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
The rumor of Frakes directing is probably
true. Will Riker come back, check the
ratings!
AtkButterfly (Member Question)
how tall are you and is that female ferengi
coming back soon?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)

out if she wants to.
Brandei Man (Member Question)
If you had the chance to go to space will
you go ?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
No. I'm afraid of heights.
gundlion (Member Question)
During his time on TNG, Brent Spiner never
did appear on a TV talk show. Are you also
contractually obligated to never make public
appearances without your make-up?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
You have not done your homework. I appeared
in make-up on the Regis and Kathy show about
two years ago. Brent probably never did one
because he didn't want to.
Mouka (Member Question)
I loved you on Beauty and the Beast. Any
feelings on that show and its cancellation?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I too loved Beauty and the Beast and
thank-you for remembering. I always hope for
a movie or a Movie of the week. It was a
magnificent TV show with ideas that gave us
all hope. I miss watching it on TV as well
the friends I had on the show.
Spectron (Member Question)
Is there anything else Quark cares for other
than money and profit?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Believe it or not, respect.
Safdah (Member Question)
How do you feel about the addition of the
Defiant to the show?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I think it is wonderful for the show to have
the option to use the ship and its firepower
when needed. However, there isn't going to
be a lot of use for Quark on the Defiant. So
you can understand if I prefer stories that
aren't centered there.
DEVEREAUX (Member Question)
Can you tell us anything about the enigmatic
Garak?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Yeah. We went to hear Jazz last night here

MIKE J DAC (Member Question)
Would Quark rather hook up with Dax or Kira?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Have you noticed that Kira and Quark don't
get along??? I guess that leaves Dax.
However, there is always Odo.
Spock's wife (Member Question)
Brag a bit about your family, Armin, what
wonder things do you wish us all to know

all of them.
Wanderer2 (Member Question)
What do you think of the new Star Trek
series, Voyager?

happiness and hardships that we have had.
Its a great ride.
J74U (Member Question)
How surprised would you be if the first
aliens to set foot on earth looked very much
like your character on DS 9?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I wouldn't be too surprised. It's you HUMANS
that look weird.
LdyLydia (Member Question)
Mr.Shimerman, I think that your character
and that of Odo are the best characters on
DS9, How do Quark and Odo really think of
one another? are they friends enemies both?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Thank-you. We have a love-hate relationship.
So we are both. We need each other.
Shades of Grey (Member Question)
What is your favorite Shakespearean play?

My favorite play is As you Like it.

Are there still gay people in the 25th

Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I certainly hope so.
bigdog tired (Member Question)
If you were writing the scripts, is there
anything you would change about Quark? Other
than more lines...
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I would make him more valuable to the show
by using his business connections to make
inquires where Star Fleet personal can't go.
Emulate the actions of my namesake, Armand
Hammer.
JOENAVY (Member Question)
Who is Quark's favorite conquest?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Minister Rozhan.
ottooo (Member Question)
Are there any gay Ferengi? May we have

Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I thought we were all gay. The number
is 213)555....
UstwoGuys (Member Question)
If you did it with Odo, does that mean you
and he are both bi? or would he just turn
into a woman and you'd still be straight??
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Odo can morph into anything and best of all,
after a couple of hours he HAS to go back to
his pail.
JWWWWWWWWWWW (Member Question)
Why won't you answer
me???????????????????????????
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
What would you like to know ???
Highlander9 (Member Question)
Why would you wish Voyager hardships?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
Because the best thing in life is the
satisfaction you get in overcoming
hardships. But first you have to encounter
them. So the tougher the hardships, the
happier you are at overcoming them. Natch.

Is there anything Quark has done that you're
particularly proud or ashamed of?
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
This is the last question I have an early

back to the Klingon Hall to defend my
Klingon wife. It took great lobes. I was
very proud of my alter ego.
Armin Shimerman (Speaker)
I'd got to sign off now because I have an
