I removed the line about inheriting her title from her father, as according to a biography she did not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dowew (talk • contribs)

The page "Ship in a Bottle (TNG episode)" contradicts the information presented here in regards to Star Trek. I don't know anything about the subject, can someone fix this? Archtemplar 23:10, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

As you point out, the Moriarty character was used again in Ship in a Bottle...however, that was a sixth season episode. The episode in question came from the second season called "Elementary, Dear Data"... from "The Star Trek the Next Generation Companion" (this bit was evidently copied to this book from a older source considering the SIAB episode :Sadly, the popular Holmes milleu will likely not be used again on TNG for legal reasons. After this segment aired, Paramount received notice that the ARthur Conan Doyle estate still owns a percentage of the right to the Holmes character. After nearly a century, and would require a usage fee if it was ever used again. (pg 69).

It continues with "Ship in a Bottle" : After three years, it turned out that the perceived taboo in doing more Sherlock Holmes stories--first laid down in Season 3 following the first Moriarty story a year earlier--had all been a mistake! "Apparently the Arthur Conan Doyle estate was irritated with Paramount because of (the movie) Young Sherlcok Holmes and they said no more, ever" Taylor said. "Well, as in many walks of life it was never say never again: to my amazement they were willing to give us the characters for a very reasonable license fee.". -- evidently Dame Jean, or possibly her children were angered that they had used Moriarty without consulting them, but aparently enjoyed the Star Trek episode. Hope that clears things up. Dowew 02:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
