I've been a few weeks behind on the Heroes watching (thank you, TiFaux!) and I totally forgot DK is on it this season. I'm looking forward to it. I just watched the season premiere and cringed during the Oirish (tm lis) accents. The only thing that distracted me from it was the reappearance of Peter (yayayay!). I'm with lis on the Petrelli Brothers of Hotness. For me, Peter has the edge, 'cause he was so freakin' bad boy hot in the 5-years-in-the-future episode.
Anyway, to stay on topic: looking forward to DK, even if he's doing an Irish accent. (Can't they just cast Gabriel Byrne for those roles and be done with it?)

I was channel-surfing between Bones and NCIS last night and had two lovely realizations. First of all, Major Hayes (Stephen Culp) was on NCIS, apparently sexually harrassing the director. I'll have to check my tape to see whether or not he was the bad guy.

And on Bones I recognized the voice of the actor playing the EMT before I recognized the face. It's Kemper! One of the MACO's from Season 3, the one who still had Duluth left in his inflections! (He turned out to be a killer clown though.)

DK shirtless? Hurray for Prison Break!

Hey Peachy, I saw your boyfriend last night. DK was on the s3 Buffy ep "Helpless". It was filmed so dark it took me a while to be sure that it was really him!

Is it pathetic or devoted that I know exactly which ep of Buffy that is because somewhere in my abode I have that episode on a VCR tape? :)

Also, it's a good thing I read fast. I got through "saw your boyfriend" and nearly bit your head off for meeting him in person without telling me ahead of time so that I could join you, no matter where in the world you might be at the moment, or how chance the meeting might have been. (I mean, if you're going to casually and accidentally run into him on the street, you should definitely tell me first!) Then I finished the sentence and thought better of it.

Speaking of pathe...devoted...I'm going to see Beowulf tomorrow because I'm nothing if not an excellent imaginary girlfriend.

Those needing brain bleach from the earlier reference to Ronin/Duncan Regher (bad candle makes keckler go crazy), and still want 80's nostalgia? There's always Kenneth Marshall (Michael Eddington, DS9) with hair in Krull.

The 80s fangirl in me just did a mental twirl -- a TiFauxed episode (from a few weeks ago) of Without a Trace just showed Michael Dorn and Nancy McKeon (Jo on Facts of Life)as a couple who had once had an affair.
Wow!

"Former boarding school women are too...fragile."

Of any of the FoL girls, I think she'd the one best suited to a relationship with a Klingon.

Absolutely. Can you imagine Blair eating gagh?

Oh lordy. You just know there's FoL/Klingon fanfic out there somewhere.

Yup. See Rule 34.

I caught a rerun the other day of the Next Gen episode where Deanna is supposed to have an arranged marriage, which I've seen several times but not recently. And NO WAY - Wyatt is T-Bag! I realise I'm probably the last person to spot this, but I was amazed. I have been loving Robert Knepper on Prison Break and never made the connection before. Knowing his work now, it was bizarre to see him being so mealy-mouthed and milksop on TNG - good work, fella.

That was T-Bag?! Christ. Definitely not the last to spot that one.

Yep. Amazing, isn't it? I also saw him on an episode of Murder, She Wrote. Luckily, he was the bad guy, so not so out of his expected character.

I was watching the boob tube last night and a commercial came on for one of those Erectile Dysfuntion cures that show up every two minutes. (The commercial shows up every two minutes, not the erection.) Anyway, the guy shlepping the ED pill is the guy who took over the Xindi Council after Degra died. I'm dying of laughter thinking that the Xindi used to be destroyers of worlds, but now they're just creating penis pills. What an industrial revolution! Hee!

Well dang. I've seen The Little Mermaid a thousand million times. But it wasn't until Mr. b was watching it with the Captain tonight that I noticed Rene Auberjonois's name in the credits. He's Chef Louis!

And now I'm imagining Odo careening madly around a kitchen singing "Les Poissons".



snort.

Now I stuff you with bread!
It won't hurt 'cause you're dead,
(And you're certainly lucky you are!)
'Cause it's gonna be hot in that big silver pot!
Toodaloo! Aux Poissons! Au revoir!

I hope Odo sings better than me. Thanks, bel./Sarcasm ;)

I happened to see Conor O'Farrell on a CSI episode last night. He is best known to me as Digimon from "Chosen Realm" and I started yelling at the TV to get the sanctimonious asshole off my screen. I then realized that he wasn't a self-righteous prick in CSI, he was half-way decent. I still couldn't get over the initial reaction of seething anger. I guess that makes him a good actor?

While watching Broken Bow on the Monday night rewatch, I noticed that one of the random Admirals in that first scene, the one who calls it a "Kling-ott" is none other than Jim Beaver. I've been watching Jim Beaver playing "Bobby" on Supernatural for two seasons now. It was a bit of a shock to see him cleam shaven and not speaking like trailer-trash.

I think the two admirals and their aide were named Forrest (as in Eeeevil Admiral Forrest), Leonard, and Williams, respectively, for the three leads of TOS. So this would be Leonard. Memory Alpha tells me his first name was "Daniel."

I have a rather surreal experience this afternoon on tea-break at work. I was channel flicking and hit on BBC1 showing a repeat of that God-awful crap that is 'Diagnosis Murder'. I nearly burnt my mouth swallowing my tea abruptly. Were my eyes decieving me or was that in-fact a younger Jeri Ryan trying desperately hard not to act Dick van Dyke off the stage?

It would be better if Daniel was Forrest's first name.

Think about it...

NMdum1, Jeri Ryan was on Diagnosis Murder once...

SVNBob, hee!

Oh the horror! Something about women authors being offed or something. It was painful.

I saw that as well NMdum1. I did a complete double take at seeing 7 of 9 with Dick Van Dyke. And then promptly changed the channel. I have a feeling I didn't miss much.

Robert Picardo joins Stargate: Atlantis cast for 5th Season.


Robert Picardo is a great actor and I think The Doctor was one of the best parts of Voyager, but I hate this news. Richard Woolsey has never been a good character and has often been show to be an incompetent fool, or a whiny jerk. This is not what Atlantis needs at this point.

Here's a weird one. On the first season Voyager, Janeway had this odd gothic holodeck program where she was the governess to a pair of weird kids. Well, the roughly eight year old boy was played by Thomas Dekker aka John Conner on the Sarah Conner Chronicles!

Can't Picardo get a gig on Boston Legal like everyone else?

That's pretty cool.

I like Robert Picardo, but I'm not really loving that bit of casting. As Woolsey he's only good in small doses.

Susan Gibney (Dr. Leah Brahms) was a guest in the new Knight Rider movie/backdoor pilot.

I agree, PB, and can only hope TPTB have the character adapt and change over the course of some eps. The McKay character is irascible enough ... having another whiner in the cast would be just too much.

Does anyone watch Eli Stone? I'd swear that Crewman Rostov of ENT was the new husband of Coma Wife.

Was that her on Lost, too? The prosecuting attorney in the Kate trial.

That is who that was! I thought she looked familiar, but I couldn't place her.

I just ran back a bunch of pages to make sure I hadn't mentioned this before (if I mentioned it further back than page 55, then you'er more obsessed with this than I am!). I did find where we'd mentioned Raphael Sbarge providing the voice of Carth Onasi in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, but somehow I failed to mention the other obvious guest shot. When the party reaches the underwater research base on Manaan, the first person they find is a Twi'lek mercenary, voiced by Ethan (Neelix) Phillips!

This might be a bit early to post here but the new Chekhov (Anton Yelchin) is in negotiations to play Kyle Reese in the next Terminator movie.

I just had a very good laugh. The guy who played Daniels is the Redi-Whip man in a commercial for the product. I wish I could find a link of the video, but I suck at the internet. It was awesome in the schadenfraude way.

Quantum has been cast in the next Steven Soderbergh movie, the Informant, opposite Matt Damon in the lead. My favorite part of the article is the last paragraph (which should probably go in the You Know You're a Trekkie thread):

See, I still have a lot of affection for Scott whenever I think about QL.

But when I think about Enterprise, I just want to punch him in the furrows.

Hee. That's pretty much my exact reaction to him also, Harrison.

As Gilmel noted elsewhere, we watched Soylent Green this past weekend. It was really pretty bad, and has little to recommend it outside of the twist ending everybody already knows.

But we found three Trek actors in it. The first, as she noted, was Celia Lovesky, who played T'Pau in TOS. We recognized her by the voice.

The second was Leigh Taylor-Young, better known to me as Ezri Dax's mom. Didn't recognize her, but I just happened to wonder what else she had done after this movie, and found DS9 among her long filmography.

And the one we didn't even have to look up: Brock Peters, aka Joesph Sisko and Admiral Cartwright.

Brock Peters was also the ogre in a Fairy Tale Theater version of Puss in Boots with Gregory Hines and Ben Vereen. Oh, and Alfre Woodard (from First Contact) was in it too!

Anyway, what I really came here to say was that I just saw Kate Mulgrew on an episode of Murder, She Wrote. She played a soap opera queen with an appropriate level of soapiness.

And I know this isn't ST, but I also saw Masi Oka (Hiro from Heroes) as a lab tech on Scrubs. I love Hiro! So cute!

Cleo, looking her up thanks to your post, I discovered that Leigh Taylor-Young is the sister of Dey Young, a three-time Trek guest (TNG, DS0, ENT). Interesting.

Nana Visitor cast as Pamela Voorhees in remake of Friday the 13th.
I wonder if she can play psychopath as well as Betsy Palmer did in the original.

Becky Wahlstrom (ENT, S2, Cogenitor) made an appearance on Bones Mondy night. Although I squealed when I first recognized her from her part in Joan of Arcadia. I was almost a little disappointed that she wasn't the killer, because I would have enjoyed seeing more of her than her three second appearance. And somebody said she'll be appearing in Women's Murder Club this week.

Nana Visitor was the guest star on Battlestar Galactica this week, "Faith" (4-6). It'll be up for 4 weeks at hulu.com and scifi.com. She had a nice role and did well with it. It was hard to recognize her at first - her character was dying from cancer.

I'm not quite sure where to put this news...
Patrick Stewart Nominated For Tony Award.
It's for his role in Macbeth. Congrats to Patrick.

Much congrats, though it's kind of funny that the award is for the Scottish play.
