Article of the Week

Mr. Boothby

Mr. Boothby is the curmudgeonly groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy in San Francisco on Earth. He was born in the mid to late 23rd century. He has been working at Starfleet Academy since about 2321 and has seen a lot of promising young cadets come and go, often offering up helpful advice and kind words; among them such prominent Starfleet captains as Jean-Luc Picard, Kathryn Janeway, Richardson, and Lopez.

Boothby was disdainful of herbicides and other high-tech devices, and preferred to tend to the grounds by hand. After a big parrises squares win in 2324, it took Boothby three weeks to repair the grounds following the celebration. In 2368, Boothby claimed that he was cranky because he had been forced to replant the same flower bed several times.

Did you know...

...that the original version of the script for Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Conspiracy" did not feature alien parasites? The 'conspiracy' in question was simply a military coup within Starfleet, but Gene Roddenberry vehemently opposed such an idea, since he believed Starfleet would never stoop to such methods; thus the alien angle was introduced at his insistence.

...that in the Star Trek: The Original Series episodes "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and "Return to Tomorrow" the Apollo moon landing is referred to/predicted (even the approximate date?) Both episodes aired more than a year before it happened.

...that Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner were the only cast members in Star Trek Generations to have custom early Deep Space Nine and Voyager-style uniforms made for use in the film? Jonathan Frakes had to borrow Avery Brooks' uniform and LeVar Burton had to borrow Colm Meaney's uniform; neither of which fit the actors very well (Frakes had to roll up the sleeves and Burton's is obviously too big for him).
