To answer the nit-picking question: Terraforming in science fiction means preparing or changing a planet so that it is habitible to humans...you don't need the Genesis Effect for that...And Dr. Carol Marcus was never married to Kirk...he just got her knocked up...g123curious <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

That revolt on Mars in "Terra Prime" seemed strangely familiar to the Mars Rebellion in Babylon 5. The only 2 differences, one had terra-forming and the other didn't. One had the actress Marjorie Monaghan's character (who Dr. Franklin later hooked up with in a later ep) and the other had (sadly
