Stewart has signed for $9 million, Spiner for $5 million.
Script rumors wobble between ST: RENEGADE and ST: ARMAGEDDON (or DOOMSDAY).
ST:R plot line is that a section of space is declared under the protection of 
the Prime Directive, and Starfleet is ordered to pull out, leaving it open 
for the Romulans to take over now-former Federation territory.  Picard and 
other captains break off and desert Starfleet, with ships and crew, to fight 
a war against the Romulan takeover.
Rumor is that if chosen, it will use the "Bible Movie Method" of casting the 
captains...where all the Christians were played by American actors, and all 
the Romans were played by British actors.  The "renegade" captains will all 
be British, and rumors go as far as Sean Connery...but Alan Rickman is a name 
that keeps popping up.
ST:A is the "final" Alpha Quadrant/Dominion War saga...this depends on what 
the writers of the TV series screw up between now and then.
...No "garlic muffin" script has surfaced as yet, thank Ghod...
-zf-  Plerb!
PS: Long time no see, Matt...been a while.
