They cut him out? I saw him in the commercials.

"Shut up, Wesley" (WW) is on an episode of CSI right now.

I saw him in the credits and made a mental note to look for him. Then I couldn't figure out who he played, so I checked imdb this morning. He was the crazy homeless guy! I totally didn't recognize him.

The long hair did cover up his face a lot.

The Chief may have a new assignment with an ex-cop bitten by a vamp and an archangel.

What an... interesting concept.

Hey! Didn't realize all these threads had moved. Glad to see they're still in existence.

Anyway, watching West Wing on Wednesday, kept looking at the Hoynes staffer who was hitting on Donna. Turns out it was Koss, the Vulcan architect. Didn't recognize him without the ears!

If you go to his website, you can see a picture of how he looked. He talks a bit about it.

Nicole deBoer is in this Canadian movie coming out called Phil the Alien playing a Quebecer named "Madame Madame"

Looks like a cult flick that fans will eat up. It's gotten pretty good reviews too.

You know that creepy thing E! is doing where they re-enact that day's events in the Michael Jackson trial using actors? Apparently the actor playing the judge is Jack Donner, the really old Vulcan from "Kir'Shara" who wound up with Surak's Fucking Katra. He was also in "The Enterprise Incident" as a Romulan Subcommander.

The SNL hosted by Patrick Stewart is on tonihgt at midnight. It includes the parody "Love Boat: The Next Generation."

Did you see that commercial where the Sisters Duff are arguing about mints? I think the non-Duff actor in it played Kivan in Rocks & Shoals and The Magnificent Ferengi. I'd recognize that misshapen head and those creepy eyes anywhere. That dude reminds me of those monkeys with the big eyes and the hands with the pads on the fingertips that only go out at night.

I was watching 24 earlier and saw Ned Vaughn who I later realized when he put on a uniform that he was Ensign Corey from "Tapestry". One of my favorite non-Q titled Q episodes.

He's slated to appear in next week's episode as well.

Isn't that one of the only non-Q titled Q episodes?

Except for "Encounter at Farpoint" and "All Good Things." At least on TNG. I don't know about the DS9 and Voyager Q episodes.

Voyager's "Death Wish", too.

Has anyone seen the ads on Spike for Invasion Iowa? At least I think that's the name. I only caught the ad in passing, but it's starring Shatner and apparently they're playing a hoax about space invasion on a town in Iowa.

I heard about it as it was happening (I'm from Iowa), and I can't say I'm too happy about it. A bunch of Hollywood people come and play a small town for chumps. Talk about coastal elitism.

Shatner is claiming he learned his lesson and edited out all the stuff embarrasing the locals. We'll see, I guess.

He also claimed in an interview that they passed around money and that seem to make most of the hurt feelings go away. Frankly, as a Midwesterner, I'm insulted they even passed the money around.

I think he's a dick.

Patrick Stewart did the narration for last night's Dragons on Animal Planet. (Click for some very nifty graphics).

He, of course, did a superb job.

Seven of Nine is on Two and a Half Men right now on CBS.

I'm pretty sure George Takei is doing radio spots for TAG body spray. He is the voice of the TAG hotline, but can't list all the choices because he's swarmed by women who can't resist himm - presumably because of the body spray, but we know it's because of The Voice.

Among the gems he says is "if you're surrounded by crazed hotties, press one." That's right up there with his saying Hot Wet Bitches on The Daily Show.

The death of Johnnie Cochrane led me to the IMDb page for Phil Morris, who played Jackie Chiles on Seinfeld (a character based on Cochrane). His very first credit is as one of the kids in TOS's "Miri." I've never seen the episode- can anyone confirm this, or is it a mistake because of a common name, as sometimes happens on IMDb?

No mistake, he's the same guy.

Greg Morris, Phil's dad, was working on Mission Impossible, which was shot on the same studio lot as TOS, so having Phil show up on "Miri" wasn't too far-fetched. And to keep this on topic, Leonard Nimoy later worked on MI, and Phil appears in STIII, Voyager and DS9.

I watched a good bit of Introducing Dorothy Dandridge last night. Somehow I had been completely unaware of Brent Spiner's co-starring role in that. He was really good.

Quark, sans makeup, is on Joan of Arcadia right now on CBS.

I just bought the Wonderfalls DVD and saw our dear Ensign Scrunchieface (the late Kelly Waymire) in a 'sode.

Remember that little tribute Bermaga did for Ensign Schrunchieface on ENT? That was so touching.

I was re-watching Total Recall last week, and caught Marc Alaimo as a soldier guy, Lycia Naff (Sonya Gomez) as the triple-boobie girl, and Robert Picardo as the voice of the JohnnyCab.

My Tivo decided to record an episode of Sliders in which Chase Masterson (Leeta on DS9) was a guest star. It sucked - at least the 5 minutes that I watched sucked. A lot.

Patrick Stewart will be the guest on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs tomorrow morning. I just hope I remember to put the radio on...

Michelle "Ro Laren" Forbes is on Alias right now! This is so exciting. I love her.

In Desperate Housewives recently, the actress who plays Maisy Gibbons has been driving me crazy because I was sure I recognised her from Trek somewhere but I couldn't place her. I finally got it - she's Amelia Earhart from VOY's "The 37s". How tragic is it that this is what occupies my brain?

That's Sharon Lawrence, who's been on a bunch of TV shows, most notably as Andy's District Attorney wife on NYPD Blue.

I don't like Sharon Lawrence because The 37s was the beginning of Voyager's decline into sucktitude.

Well, that didn't take long, did it, then?

I forgot to mention Louise Fletcher on the last two episodes of ER. They seem to be starting an arc with her.

Yesterday I saw Dr. Bashir himself, Alexander Siddig, playing Saladin's right hand man in Kingdom of Heaven. The beard suits him, I think.

I haven't IMDBed it for confirmation, but I could have sworn I saw Marina Sirtis in Crash, playing the Persian guy's wife.

Damnit, now I have to see that movie.

tothemax, that sums up my thoughts perfectly. And I so wanted to avoid it altogether.

I saw the lovely Nana Visitor in a promo for some show (maybe tv movie?) that is going to air on the Family channel. Poor Kira.

(Shut up, I was watching a marathon of Supernanny at the time.)

I've seen that commercial. I think the movie is called "Wildfire"? Her hair looked great.

I just saw this on the weekend and you’re absolutely right about the suitability of the beard!

He did look very tasty. I had to stop myself from pointing him out in the cinema especially as my non-trek boyf wasn't too impressed when I started squeeing when I first saw him on screen.

Enterprise may be done but Phlox has one more acting gig this tv season. JB will be in tonight's episode of Cold Case at 8/7 PM CDT. He's a serial killer who's back to torment Lilly. Very unPhlox-like.

But very MirrorPhlox like.

Very true. I can't wait.

Matt Winston, aka Daniels, was in the first season of Scrubs. In the very first episode, Doctor Daniels walks around telling everyone what an incredible tool he is. It can be very cathartic to Daniels-haters.

Well, I was going to post it over here but Warden beat me to it. Should be a good one.
