Guest guest Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi , You can read this and all previous such newsletters online here: http://www.rifeforum.com/newsletter The Star Trek two-part episode (or the 90 minute movie version) mentioned in the newsletter is called " Blood and Fire " and can be downloaded free and legally from here: http://www.startrekphase2.de/4x04_blood_and_fire_part_1.html This and the other episodes on that site I run, are made by dedicated fans to a very high standard, both from an acting point of view and in regard to sets and special effects. Production quality is on a par with the original episodes from Paramount. Three more episodes are due for release this year, the next (Enemy Starfleet) is due for release in April. I received a number of comments regarding the Star Trek story in the newsletter, nearly all of them positive. The only non-positive comment I received was " I am interested in Rife technology, not Star Trek. Other than that, an interesting read. " As to the AIDS topic raised in the episode, which is symbolised by an epidemic of " Blood worms " that attack the crew (great horrific CGI effects). For me the most daring statements made come about 12 minutes into part two. Spock: Dr. Yar, what controls these creatures in their native environment? Dr. Yar: There aren't any controls. These things aren't native to anywhere. Blodgett: They were created by the ancient Regulans as a weapon. Bones: With no controls, no antidotes? Blodgett: They were a doomsday weapon! Dr. Yar: They destroyed the Regulans and anyone else who approached! Bones: Well they got the doomsday part right! Now when you consider the various reports that the " AIDS " causing virus were created genetically in a lab, those lines are quite powerful I think. By the way, Dr. Jenna Yar was played by the actress Crosby who also played " Natscha Yar " (Granddaughter of Jenna Yar) in Star Trek The Next Generation.
