• According to TrekWeb, the latest issue of the Star Trek Magazine reported that Alexander Siddig (Julian Bashir) and Andrew Robinson (Garak) are teaming up to write a sequel to Robinson's recent DS9 novel, 'A Stitch In Time'.

• SF-Radio.de is reporting that in May 2001 Paramount Germany will be releasing the entire first season of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' spread out over six DVDs, followed in August by the second and in November by the third season. The DVDs will include the original English version in Dolby Digital 5.1 sound format, and the dubbed German version in Dolby Surround. These DVDs, as any other European DVD, will not be playable on regular American DVDs, so importing them will likely not be a possibility for Americans wanting to get TNG in the new digital video format.

• For the past three weeks, Michelle Forbes (Ro Laren) has been appearing on the CBS show 'The District'. Thanks go out to Sean Declet for this!
