Favorable review of FASA's "Star Trek" RPG. Inquiry: does it include expendable extras to do all the dying? o Prediction: Kirk and Saavik will have a romance in ST3. Quickly shot down; Jim's past his prime. But probably David Marcus takes after his old man. o Discussion of incidental music in ST episodes, particularly a flute piece played as Kirk's love theme in "Shore Leave," and heard again in "This Side of Paradise," and "The Apple." Is it by Debussy? No. Conclusion: it IS incidental music. Also covered: Uhura's song "Beyond Antares" (words by Gene Coon), sung in "Conscience of the King," and hummed in "The Changeling" which gets her zapped by Nomad. An inquiry: any details on the fake Brahms piece from "Requiem for Methuselah"? o Request for names of other starships. Several answers from sources reliable and otherwise. Most agree on 13 original Constitution-class heavy cruisers. o Person thinks he saw an episode where Kirk and Spock first meet. Wrong. o Tail end of discussions: The Ceti Eel (super-slug) in Chekov's ear in ST2; power of ship's phasers on planet surfaces.
