James Cromwell is the actor I was too lazy to look up yesterday. Wikipedia has a pretty complete page on Cochrane, the warp drive inventor. Thanks to my correspondent, who I didn't know was a trekkie.

I wonder if there is such a complete character page on Chloe O'Brian. Yup. She's such an original. She makes me want to pick up the story I was writing with the mixed fictional and real characters. I wonder how she'd get along with Charlie Eppes. It's not up to me. I don't know if you've ever tried writing fiction, but once you get up a head of steam, the most amazing thing can happen. It's a real rush when speeches and events just fall out, and you look at the page and think, "I didn't know that."
