Star Trek LA Premiere: The Old Guard
Last night, you didn’t need a telescope to look at the stars. All you needed was a walk down Hollywood Blvd. It was the Los Angeles premiere of the new Star Trek movie at Grauman’s Chinese and the red carpet was full of sci fi luminaries. Original Trek stars, new Trek stars and plenty of your favorites from other sci fi shows were on hand for the celebration. There were so many great people there that we have to show you them in stages – kinda like the old-fashioned rockets we used to take to the moon.
Let’s begin …read more

When Stewie can’t get his questions answered at at Star Trek: TNG reunion con, he takes matters into his own hands. Like any smart toddler, he builds a transporter and beams the entire cast into his bedroom for his own one-on-one Q&A.
It happens tonight on the Family Guy episode “Not All Dogs Go to Heaven.”
Executive Producer David Goodman sat down with reporters this week to talk the episode and how it came about.
Let’s start with the why:
Goodman: Actually, you could ask last week why did we do a Back to the Future reference when the movie is 30 years old. …read more

Jonathan Frakes Takes on Kirk vs Sparrow
If you’ve read any of my past interviews you know that there are three random questions that I try to ask everyone I meet. This week it was Jonathan Frakes’ turn – two out three since we were under a time crunch.
What’s something you’ve done that there’s no way you’re ever doing that again?
Jonathan: (Laughs) That’s a great question. Hmm, get into a semi, hitchhiking, in the dead of winter, at night. I ended up crossing over two highways in upstate New York, in the 70s this was, so I think I’ve learned – I don’t hitchhike anymore and …read more

lev·er·age n. : Positional advantage; power to act effectively
Tonight, Star Trek: The Next Generation Star Jonathan Frakes, exerts his own kind of leverage when he takes over the helm of the TNT series. The episode is called “The Juror No 6 Job” and features a few Frakes friends that any good scifi fan should recognize – Brent Spiner and Armin Shimerman.
Leverage and Star Trek stars — that’s a combo I couldn’t pass up, so I got Jonathan on the last call of the day just as he was headed out to do the DVD commentary for the Leverage …read more
Trek Reunion on Leverage
Look who showed up to work on Leverage!
The episode is called “The Juror #6 Job” and it features Star Trek: TNG star Brent Spiner as the owner of a supplement company accused in a wrongful death suit. The episode was directed by his former commander on TNG, Jonathan Frakes. But that’s not all. The episode also features Armin Shimerman of Deep Space Nine and Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.
It’s a short hop from Buffy to Angel – and that takes us to Leverage regular Christian Kane. But it’s Supernatural’s Aldis Hodge who really steals the show when he makes …read more
