Feb 08 | While his "Lost" co-stars prepare to pack up and leave Hawaii, Daniel Dae Kim can plan to remain there for at least a few more months. Mr. Kim, who plays the time-traveling tough guy Jin on "Lost," has been the first actor cast in a coming remake of the crime drama "Hawaii Five-O," The Hollywood Reporter said. He has been cast as Chin Ho Kelly, a detective played by Kam Fong in the original series, which began in 1968. The "Hawaii Five-O" revival is being developed by the screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ("Star Trek," "Fringe") and Peter Lenkov, an executive producer of "CSI: NY."

Dreamwatch is launching a new U.S. edition of the popular U.K. magazine this month, and issue #1 includes interviews with STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE's Jolene Blalock ('T'Pol') and John Billingsley ('Phlox'). The NX-01 doc interviews himself, in a manner of speaking, for a personal journal from behind the scenes of ENTERPRISE and Dreamwatch has provided TrekWeb with a few excerpts.
John writes about his views on the actor Richard Riehle, who plays Phlox's friend and medical colleague in the upcoming "Cold Station 12."
"Dr Lucas is played by Richard Riehle, whom I have known for over 20 years. He's a great guy. We've both been joking around about the homoerotic subtext of our characters' relationship."
Billingsley is decidedly matter of fact regarding the immediate future of STAR TREK on television.
"I think the general consensus is that this is the last year of the show unless we see some real growth in the ratings."
Despite the baggage, the ENTERPRISE cast still manages to have fun on the set.
"When all of us are in a scene together, but no one really has to say anything, or do any heavy emoting, it drives the crew crazy 'cuz we can't be serious and the day gets looonngger and looonnnngger."
You can read Billingsley's full diary article in issue #1 of Dreamwatch, available October 19th.

Quote from John Billingsley:
"Dr Lucas is played by Richard Riehle, whom I have known for over 20 years. He's a great guy. We've both been joking around about the homoerotic subtext of our characters' relationship."
Where does this "homoerotic" subtext implication come from? So, Human and Denobulan doctors exchange places in their respective cultures, under the auspices of the Vulcan Interspecies Medical Exchange -- yet, they're not then allowed to correlate their respective experiences without garnering some reputation of homosexuality?
So, does Billingsley imply that B&B storytelling says that males can't be friends in written (text) ccommunication without also wanting to be BJ buddies?
