    • Scrap current Lock Box & Lobi system for something more reasonable

    I'd like to think that my late mother is up there right now, chatting with D.C. Fontana, since she wrote my mother's favorite episode (Journey to Babel). Rest in peace, and thank you.

    Well, TRIBBLE. Condolences to her family and friends. One of the better writers of the TOS era.

    RIP.
