ANSWERS
1. Filming for ``Generations'' began on March 28, 1994, with the Enterprise-B sequence in which Kirk (William Shatner) toils within a three-story-tall shaft in an effort to avert the ship's destruction.
2. It was LeVar Burton, who filmed a confrontation scene with Malcolm McDowell as Soran.
3. Worf is promoted to lieutenant commander.
4. Whoopi Goldberg returns to Ten-Forward, not to mention the Nexus, as Guinan, but the actress requested that she not be credited.
5. Kirk, Scotty (James Doohan) and Chekov (Walter Koenig) appear in the film. Kirk mentions ``Bones'' McCoy (DeForest Kelley) when talking about a clock.
Spock's name comes up in a Kirk-Picard (Patrick Stewart) conversation, and Sulu's (George Takei) daughter works on the Enterprise-B bridge.
The only name not to come up at all is that of Uhura (Nichelle Nichols).
6. Her name is Demora and she is played by Jacqueline Kim.
7. Carson directed the ``Next Gen'' episodes titled ``The Enemy,'' ``The Next Phase,'' ``Redemption, Part II'' and ``Yesterday's Enterprise.'' His ``DS9'' credits include the pilot, ``Emissary,'' ``Dax,'' ``Move Along Home'' and ``The Alternate.''
8. In the movie, the ship was called the Enterprise. Off camera, however, the ship is known as the Lady Washington. The ``Generations'' cast and crew spent five days on board as they filmed in the waters off Santa Monica, Calif.

11. He is film editor Peter E. Berger.
12. Those fateful words were ``Oh my.''
TREK SPECS
``Generations'' made a big bang at the box office, earning $23.1 million in its first weekend. ... Leonard Nimoy's newest project, a futuristic monthly comic-book series called ``Primortals,'' is in comic book stores now for $1.95 an issue. ... Starlog Entertainment will publish the licensed ``Star Trek: Voyager'' magazines beginning in January. A six-issue subscription costs $30. Send a check or money order to Starlog Group Inc., Official Voyager Magazine, 475 Park Ave. S., New York, N.Y. 10016. ... Look for Clint Howard, a child when he appeared in the ``Trek''-classic episode ``The Corbomite Maneuver,'' in an upcoming ``DS9'' episode. ... Yes, the Tim Russ who appears as a human Starfleet officer on the Enterprise-B bridge in ``Generations'' is the Tim Russ who plays the Vulcan Tuvok in ``Voyager.''... Does the actress who plays Claudia in ``Interview with the Vampire'' look familiar? Maybe that's because young Kirsten Dunst played Kedril, the girl haunting Lwaxana (Majel Barrett), in the memorable ``Next Gen'' episode ``Dark Page.'' ... Happy birthday to Michael Dorn (42), Rick Berman (48) and Nichelle Nichols (58), who celebrate, respectively, on Dec. 9, 25 and 28.
