I must say, Mojo, that you've sold this book to me already!

Mojo: ::summons up best little kid voice::
Please sir, may we see some more Mars?
A Martian city? A Federation R&D facility on the surface? Can we please reconcile the Mars we've seen with a terraformed or partially terraformed Mars? I don't recall what part of the surface was shown in 'Relativity', but we could reconcile it as if it were the Tharsis region, which is high enough in elevation that it would be a sort of preserve.
To summarize what I would like to see: Mars Mars Mars Mars Mars!!! But NOT Utopia Planitia!

The Kim Stanely Robinson Mars Trilogy... but I digress...
I mentioned before about seeing different parts of ships from different angles, i.e. peering out a large window and seeing another part of the ship or even some of those windows on DS9, you notice that we NEVER saw any of the Docking rings or pylons outside anyones quarters on the habitat ring!?!
Also, speaking of different things we haven't seen on ships... the CETATION SECTIONS on the E-D... the WHALES and the DOLPHINS are active crew members... they aid in navigation... I'd love to see the big tanks... and the've gotta have windows. I wonder if they're allowed to use the holodeck?
The arboretum on the E-D - those big blue windows or the flight deck on either the E-E or the Voyager!
Wasn't there also a Venus station mentioned!?! Or some more of Starbase 12 seen in "The Die Is Cast" and "Court Martial"

They do? Uh ... this isn't seaQuest, DSV.
And yes, I noticed that about the DS9 windows, too. Maybe the living quarters on the top and bottom most levels of the habitat look "over" the docking ring? And then, of course, the ones we've seen (in addition to being on the top or bottom levels) also don't face a pylon, or the Core.
Read the TNGTM. And refer to the episode where someone (Geordi or Riker) makes some comment to the effect of "You gotta see the whales..." (or was it the dolphins?).

That's why he switched to tactical. Although he might have switched back (is anyone sure what Chekov's job is by TUC?)
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Ship's counselor.
"I feel like shit, Commander..." "Let me TELL you about feeling like shit, OK? I've had an EEL in my ear, been fried by Nomad, had my chick killed by a planet-running computer, had ANOTHER chick become a space hippie, been arrested by 20th-century American military authorities, fallen off the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, almost operated on AND KILLED by medics in that same time period, been scared half to death by corpses...but then, that kept me from getting old....so don't tell ME about feeling like shit!" :::blinks::: "You're a Russian Jew, aren't you."

Total Recall Mission to Mars Red Planet Ghosts of Mars
Am I forgetting any?
Total Recall was OK, though Mars was much too red. Mission to Mars sucked balls. I haven't worked up enough of a stomach to sit through Red Planet without puking yet. I refuse to acknowledge Gosts of Mars even exists...
And the Bradbury Chronicles were cool except for the first part where they tried to explain why Viking didn't find a Martian city ("If it had looked behind it..." )
And the Mars Trilogy rocks. Can't wait for James Cameron to put that sucker on film...
