Sarah Gilbert and Drew Barrymore reportedly share a kiss in this drama/horror flick. I've never seen it, but readers of this board have hated this movie. >> STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (CC). Airs Thurs. 4/28/94, 7:00 pm, on Phila. PA WTXF ch. 29. (May or may not also air in other areas.) This is the episode in which Riker falls for an androgynous being whose race prohibits gender self-identity and the concepts of male- female relationships. When they get involved, they're harassed - essentially for being straight. Some folks thought this episode was a covert attempt at reversing the tables on homophobia. I thought it was a pretty lame way of getting out of Roddenberry's promise to address gay issues on ST. >> L.A. LAW (CC). Airs Thurs. 4/28/94, 10:00 pm, NBC. TV Guide says "Patrick pulls another fast one in the case of a dentist (Stephen Meadows) whose practice was destroyed by rumors that he has AIDS." ********************************************************** That's it for this week.
