You may know her at T’Pol from Star Trek: Enterprise, but this week, Jolene Blalock dons a new mantle, literally, when she takes on the role of Sister Nicci in Legend of the Seeker.
“What drew me to the role, were the seeds of doubt which gave us a lot of ways to move” said Jolene on a call with reporters. “She’s not inherently good or inherently bad, she’s just blinded by the passion of her own good intentions.”
And you know what they say about good intentions.
Going from a cult favorite scifi show to a cult favorite fantasy show is …read more

It was the TV show that made many of us want to buy a telescope, so it’s only fitting that the cast of Star Trek celebrate their DVD release of the new movie at the famous Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
Director J.J. Abrams was joined by stars Zachary Quinto (“Spock”), Leonard Nimoy (“Spock Prime”), Zoe Saldana (“Uhura”), Karl Urban (“Bones”), John Cho (“Sulu”), Bruce Greenwood (“Capt. Christopher Pike”), Jennifer Morrison (“Winona Kirk”), Clifton Collins (“Ayel”), Faran Tahir (“Captain Robau”), Jacob Kogan (“Young Spock”) and Jimmy Bennett (“Young Kirk”).

Thanks to a kindly film collector in Germany, Star Trek fans will now get to experience the third pilot that was made to pitch the original 60’s series. Everyone knows about “The Cage.” This pilot had Jeffrey Hunter as the first Enterprise Captain, and much of the footage was used in the  flashback episode “The Menagerie.”
When that pilot was deemed to serious for TV audiences, a second pilot was made with William Shatner in the lead. That is called “Where No Man Has Gone Before.”
According to The Live Feed, an alternate version of this pilot was made and up until …read more

Like many Americans these days, Joss Whedon is having a hard time keeping up with the mortgage payments on his house — his Dollhouse, that is, and Fox has decided to foreclose on the property.
Though they never said the ugly “C” word, Fox has officially stated that the show will not be given an order for new episodes but they will allow Joss to complete the order for 13, giving him time to wrap up the series in a satisfactory manner.
So 13 episodes will be produced for this season, but it doesn’t mean Fox will air them all. They’ve already …read more
