"I think I'm the only one on the panel who's actually flown by Saturn," joked Robert Picardo (EMH) at a Planetary Society bash on the eve of the first landing on the surface of another planet's moon (Pasadena Star News.) NASA reports that the ESA Huygens probe returned data from Titan's surface for more than 90 minutes.

Patrick Stewart will be a voice in the North American dubbed version of director Katsuhiro Otomo's STEAMBOY, which Sony's Screen Gems will release in limited theaters on March 18th. ComingSoon.

The gay-themed musical STAR TREK parody "DREAMSHIP SURPRISE - PERIOD 1" is featured at the 11th annual U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, February 9-13. DREAMSHIP was the most successful German film of 2004, notes DW-World.

"I think Manny is doing a great job, although we all wish Hoshi had more to do but ultimately it is about the bigger picture isn't it," submits Linda Park in a New Year greeting on her message board, highlighting "some martial arts and had fun doing some of that" in episodes to come.

Yesterday:

John Billingsley (Phlox) narrates RING WORLD, a new multimedia planetarium show about the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn's planetary system. Newsday.

Original GALACTICA star Richard Hatch talks about the Sci-Fi Channel remake at the Starlog website.

I had to go register for an account at BookTrek in order to read the chat transcript, but this thing about A.C. Crispen is MAJOR and a shame. She of course authored a number of Trek books, least of which was "Sarek" and the initial "Yesterday" books. The cancellation of the continuation of the "Yesterday" saga (the first set that I have which crafts a story about the son of Zarabeth and Spock after the events of TOS "All Our Yesterdays"), is a great loss. She and Diane Duane did release a paired set of their books "Spock's World" and "Sarek" via a tome called "Sand and Stars" late last year.

There seems to be a bit of controversy regarding her email chat per some comments from Psi Phi.org's site maintainer, but she indicated that she was very ill and ended up late with the submissions, which seemed to snowball with a change in editors, some rewrites, and eventually cancellation.

She indicated that she hasn't watched ENT since season 1 (indicating that she was disgusted with the portrayal of Vulcans then - AMEN!), but I hope that maybe she'll consider looking at the fixes happening this season via the Reeves-Stevens and the Vulcan trilogy.

Geez... I hope whatever is going on gets resolved. :-(

"I think the show talked to people through the characters. They're stories that speak to the heart. They talk about love, they talk about friendship, they talk about loyalty, they talk about patriotism, exploration, curiosity, reaching out... And I think all those things still touch people. Even when you look at a 30-year old show, it still has something to say." - D.C. Fontana, Sci Fi Channel Special Edition TOS 1998

"If the season finale involves the re-built USS Reliant coming back in time to the 21st Century crewed by Moogie, Dr. Selar, Morn, Transporter Chief Kyle, and the Salt Vampire, then we'll know that Coto has gone too far." - tomba1701
