This is a little bit backwards, but I'm watching "Civilization" (Enterprise, obviously a first season episode, since Archer sounds way too rational and Tripp too strident) and the badguy ship captain looks familiar... Surprise! It's Bellicheck (sp?) from Prison Break.

Hee! Prison Guard Bellick, now with extra hair! I giggle about that every time I watch Civilization.

Also appearing from another role? Captain Kirk's....weird...vocal pauses. (Seriously? Does Scott Bakula suffer from asthma or stroke or was he just emulating Kirk?)

Quantum has a new series:

Doesn't really sound like something I'll want to watch but I'll check out the reviews.

I know this is cold, but I hope it gets cancelled. Enterprise has made Bakula utterly unwatchable to me, I just can't stand him in anything he's in, I want him off the air, he's just crap! I was dead set against him playing Archer to start with and I was right!

Things That Make My Head Go 'Sploidy:

I was watching Mad Men last night as I got ready for bed. I came into the room to find the Evil Admiral Forrest having a drink with the Late Henry Archer. Then...Angel's son Connor sat down and got all emo on everybody's ass. I chortled for a good ten minutes at my sci-fi lovin' brain.

I just read in the entertainment section of our paper that Kate Mulgrew is the judge in Equus on Broadway. Captain Janeway and Harry Potter on stage might be enough to make my fangirl heart combust -- except that Harry gets naked and that might be squicky.

Me too! Me too! Good for Kate. I think she's a really good actress.



I know what you mean.

Has anyone seen the new Volkswagen commercial with Leonard Nimoy? Sweet! He beams up at the end. What a cutie.

I'm not a particularly big fan of Comedy Central's Celebrity Roasts, mostly because they use the same stable of foul-mouthed comedians for every celebrity (which makes it seem more like an open mic night rather than people who knew the celebrity well) but I did pause my TV for a bit to watch Cloris Leachman roast Bob Saget. (She's hilarious, btw.)

Who should I see chortling in the crowd when the camera cut-away? Asshat Archer. Erm, I mean Scott Bakula. I can't stop thinking about how oddly random that is. Who makes the guest list for these things?

I'd love to see this... hopefully it'll be on YouTube soon.

EDIT: Found it. Hee. VW does seem to have some pretty odd commercials. :)

Their agents?

This fangirl is going to see Captain Picard and Doctor Who in Hamlet next month! I'll be in total meltdown.

Holy sexpot, Batman!

Oh, ShoppingGirl! So jealous.

I was channel surfing past Two and a Half Men yesterday evening when I stopped and took a closer look at Jon Cryer's slutty girlfriend. "I know that slut!" I cried out excitedly. A quick check of the IMDB assured me that it was indeed our very own Star Trek Handjob, Nikita Ager, who played the slutty Rajin in the third season ep of the same name.

She tasered Jon Cryer and I laughed for about twenty minutes wishing she had done just that to Capt Archer. He flopped all over the carpet like a landed carp!

I swear, I'm losing my mind. My first thought was, "There was a ST episode called "Handjob"?"

Don't feel bad, lis, for a second I thought it was the name of a spinoff.

Careful what you put on the interwebs, Beagle. Somebody at the studio might think ST handjob is a great series and a new direction!

*mutters, "stupid grammar which I don't got!"* :)

I was watching Mad Men last night and the first Mrs. Draper was so familiar but I couldn't place her. It's Melinda Page Hamilton, better known around these parts as Mrs. Feezal Phlox!

Kira will be playing Jason's mom in the new Friday the 13th apparently. I didn't recognize her voice at all in the trailer (linked here.

Halloween totally loses its edge when I watch all those gory films with delight shouting "Hey! It's [That Guy]!"

I watch the House on Haunted Hill frequently. And every time I do I am struck dumb with the knowledge that Jeffrey Combs (Shran, Weyoun) is the mad scientist Vonnegut. A role he reprised in the appalling and ridiculous Return to the House on Haunted Hill. (Whose lead is Amanda Righetti, that recurring Hailey chick from the OC. Heh. She still can't act, poor thing!)

Also? My beloved Stephen Culp (Major Hayes) was in the Friday the 13th movie, Jason Goes To Hell. Which I apparently never saw until last night and chortled my way through. (Along with John D. Le May, who played Ryan on the awesomely gruesome Firday the 13th, the Series.)

We caught part of the live-action Ben 10 movie this weekend. Robert Picardo was in it!

May I just say that I would like to marry Robert Picardo?

Wallace Shawn (Grand Nagus Zek) was Eleanor Waldorf's new love interest in Gossip Girl.

Did anyone see Wallace Shawn as Father Abruzzi in Heaven Help Us? One of the great comic performances.

"Lust is the beast within YOU! A filthy BEAST that wants to consume you and then spit you out into the eternal fires of HELL!...where for all eternity, your blood will boil, your bones will burn, and your marrow will be reduced to a PUTRID BLACK SLIME!!!!"

Check it out!

While waiting for my youngest nephew to come out of the bathroom after watching the new Bond flick, I perused movie posters. And what do my wondering eyes perceive? That Robert Knepper, most recently of Prison Break fame, but who also appeared in both TNG and VOY, is going to be in Transporter 3! Dude? Jason Statham and Robert Knepper? I am so there!

Ah, Handsome Rob! What could be better? I would like to see him as Captain of the Enterprise, w00t!

And there's Neelix on Pushing Daisies tonight.

Ethan Phillips was a gay lawyer who had the exact same mannerisms as Neelix, making me think a lot of it was just how he normally is.

I just saw Daniel Radcliffe on Actor's Studio (charming and funny in an adorable unpolished way) and guess who I saw? Captain Janeway! She is in Equus on Broadway with Daniel and Richard Griffiths (Harry's evil uncle)!! Oh, squee.

Keiko O'Brien was on last week's Grey's Anatomy.

The combination of Captain Janeway and Harry Potter is the stuff that fanfic nightmares are made of!

"Um, Hagred, isn't it a little late for Seven to be attending Hogwarts? She is afterall a grown drone."

The combination of Neelix and Molly Weasley in the kitchen would be genuinely terrifying and you just know that the Borg kids and Naomi would attempt to out-Hermoine, Hermoine....

From the blog of Heroes Producer Greg Beeman:Woot!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Michael Dorn is such a cutie!

Doctor Yar! is exactly what I shouted last night. Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar, TNG) plays a (OWC)Company doctor on Prison Break.

I was also excited to see President Worf on Heroes this week.

Gilmel commented that he'll probably decide he's not worthy and hand the presidency over to Martok.

Scott Bakula will be co-starring with Ray Romano in his new TNT show, Men of a Certain Age. Entertainment Weekly's blog entry is here. Although the writer's priorities overlap somewhat with mine, you can tell she's not a trekkie.

Phlox alert! John Billingsley is on the new season of 24. Well, I've only seen the first two hours so far so I don't know how long he sticks around but I was still pleasantly surprised by his appearance.

I was too! Five seconds in, and I get to happily shriek, "Phlox!"

Mayweather just checked visited Cuddy's house to determine if she's a fit foster mom.

(I've decided the fact that I had to double check his imdb page to make sure it was him (and make sure that was his name) does not make me a bad trekkie)

I know - that was the shortest scene ever! I was more impressed with his agent for getting his name in the opening credits than his actual 10 seconds of screen time. Poor Maywho.

I'm extra proud of myself. I didn't even notice his name in the credits. That is impressive agenting.

Still more lines than he got in the average episode of Enterprise.

When he was at Cuddy's door, I was like, "Hey, it's Travis!" Mr. Lor's response? "Who?" After I explained who, my husband conceded that he did look "sort of familiar". He watched every ENT episode right alongside me, y'all.

I didn't even recognize him :(.

I don't usuall watch Ten Items Or Less on TBS but I accidentally caught it last night. The store was running a promotion designed to keep the doors open; they had a Star Trok convention (that is not a typo) with special guest, Jolen Blalock as herself. There were moments that were kinda funny. She called the store manager "Captain" and then told him he was an idiot. I like to think she was thinking of Captain Asshat when she said it.

That's incredibly hysterical.

Turner Classic Movies is having a Ricardo Montalban tribute during the day (1/23), showing some of the movies he starred in, and I was surprised to see that he was in "The Singing Nun". Also on tap earlier in the day: "Neptune's Daughter", where he had a duet with Esther Williams.

Will Riker has directed a couple of episodes of the great new show, Leverage.

George Takei did the voice of a Neimoidean general on last night's episode of the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars on Cartoon Network.

The HBO series Big Love is back on (my wife is a fan). During a scene in which Bill is negotiating with a Nez Perce (I think - they never actually said) chieftain, over his potential involvement with a new casino just over the Idaho state line, I thought I heard a familiar voice, and had to turn to the screen. It took a moment to recognize him, what with the long white hair and no facial tattoo, but the Indian was indeed played by Chako- er, I mean Robert Beltran. :-)
