JUNCTION POINT: NOT JUST ANOTHER PBeM RPG!
Junction Point is a freefloating space station that is located in that
dark area between Gorn, Tholian, and Klingon space, within a whiff of
the Romulan Empire. K7, as we call it, is adjacent to Sherman's
Planet, where, just 76 years before, the tribble incident took place.
We're set in the year 2380, after the Borg encounters and the Dominion
War, at the very end of the ST-TV timelines. This is a very fastpaced
game composed of a solid base of experienced and expert players, some
of them professionally published in the SF-Fantasy genre. Our location
is junction.the-fgn.org and we're always ready to welcome a few
new players into our warm and friendly community. If our roster appears full at the positions that interest you, don't
let that discourage you from joining. There's enough posting for
duplications in Senior Officer positions and the imagination's the
limit on civilian and other personnel.
We're expecting to be around for a long time, so if you come, plan to stay! We can be reached by clicking Contact Administration or Joining the Game on our site.

In the May 2002 issue of Star Trek: The Magazine, actor John Billinsley talks extensively about his ENTERPRISE role. The actor's official web site, JohnBillingsley.net, has posted a full transcript and here are some excerpts.
""I like Phlox's sense of humor to come more from his intelligence and his curiosity than from a bumbling naiveté. One of the tricky things when you've got a character that's the fish-out-of-water guy is that there's always a certain amount of humor to be derived just from that, but to me this guy is not in the least bit a bumbler; he's a genius. The humor would come from the fact that he's witty and that he's got a wonderful mind," Billingsley says about steering away from Neelix-based humor for Phlox.
He says "Dear Doctor" is the only time he's truly been able to get inside the character's skin for any length of time.
"It's the only one that's really featured me at all, and for the most part, although I'm having a great time and the people are terrific, the other episodes have not really dealt much with my character. But in this show the doctor was given more depth and I was very happy that they were moving in that direction. There's just no way they can sustain an interest in this character if he's only presented as a guy who capers about having a good time."
"I felt that getting to put on the clothes, and speak, and talk, and walk, and think like him for seven concentrated days was very helpful. Since then, I've really not had a chance to do very much, and it's not as if I don't feel a connection to him, but for the most part the scenes I've had to do so far have been very short and not terribly meaty, so it's hard to say that there's anything happening right now that's giving me the opportunity to explore him further. But I want to temper that by saying I understand that that is the nature of the beast, and the show is definitely driven by the three lead characters."
He says he sees Phlox as a very sensual character: "On one level he seems very physical and very sensual; he loves to eat and he talks about what people smell like, and he wants to see everything, and in 'Dear Doctor' it's referenced that there are bars where people go at each other in some peculiar and almost violent way, I think it would be interesting to explore whether there may be a more carnal and primitive side of the Doctor that he and his species has learned to keep in check and that maybe some of those impulses are explored a bit more, but I've no idea whether or not that's something they would ever go for!"
Getting out of sickbay could provide great material for the character, Billingsley postulates: "It would be great to know that he could go down to the planet surface, I think he has a lot more to offer in terms of 'Hey, you're meeting another species for the first time; you might consider this as a means of beginning to make contact.' I think he's a greater resource than they're giving him credit for."
But the actor isn't complaining about riding second or third or fourth banana to the series's central triumvirate.
"As an actor I'd love to have more to do, but if it doesn't work out that way, I'm still living the dream. I'm getting the chance to make money doing something I dig, and I've got a wonderful private life. Whatever I'm given to play, I will play it with great high cheer, because I have too many years behind me of doing 99-seat theater, where everybody shares a dressing room with a broken toilet, to be disgruntled about anything!"
