Nov 06 | J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode of "Undercovers," his Warner Bros. secret agent pilot at NBC. Schedule permitting, Abrams, who also serves as executive producer and co-writer for the pilot, will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" two-part opener, which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time and helped launch Abrams' career into helming such theatrical films as "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Star Trek." The NBC pilot has been described as a mix between "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "The Bourne Identity." The original report is at the Hollywood Reporter.

The latest issue of TV Guide, a tribute to the ending of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE with four different covers, features an exclusive interview with TNG actors Jonathan Frakes (Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Troi), in which they talk to journalist Michael Logan about their return to the STAR TREK franchise and their roles in the final episode, "These Are The Voyages...".Here are a few excerpts :
Did you two ever think you'd be back in Starfleet uniforms?
Marina Sirtis: Certainly not after the box-office response to STAR TREK NEMESIS! I'm glad I still fit in mine, but I don't know why they gave me that. [She points to an extremely padded bra hanging with her suit.] Padding I don't need. But I do need some help in the antigravity department! [Laughs] Did you know Jonathan is in better shape than he was in STAR TREK NEMESIS? They had to take in his costume!
Jonathan Frakes: Only in my ass. Like, what's with that? I'm turning into Brent Spiner. Have you ever seen Brent's ass? He ain't got one!
Sirtis: It's true! During NEXT GENERATION the cast used to have a contest - the search for Brent's ass!
What are your thoughts on the ENTERPRISE finale?
Sirtis: I was surprised when they said this was the last episode of the series.
Frakes: I was surprised when they said this was the last episode of ENTERPRISE and that we could be in it. It's not our show! But I love it. It's a real STAR TREK script.
Sirtis: They wouldn't give me the whole script because they thought I'd post it on the Internet. Rick Berman just told me the idea. He didn't even tell me Jonathan was in it.
Frakes: Really? That's the first thing Rick said to me. "It's going to be you and Marina...is that OK?"
Sirtis: You mean I'm here with your permission? I guess Patrick Stewart was too busy...[Laughs] I get no respect around here, and with good reason. When Rick called to offer me the job, he didn't tell me it was a secret, so the first thing I did was post the news on my website. When I got home that day, my phone was red with all the messages from people at Paramount screaming, "What the hell are you doing?!" I'm like, why didn't you tell me it was a secret? I blabbed when Brent agreed to do his three-parter on ENTERPRISE. It's not like I'm some new actress they've never met before. They know that I'm "The Mouth."
Are you surprised Troi and Riker come aboard ENTERPRISE without the use of time travel?
Frakes: Yeah. I just hope the audience understands what's going on = that this is picking up on one of our NEXT GENERATION episodes.
Sirtis: Oh, the viewers are verrrry smart. Wait a minute... this is connected to one of our episodes? Really? Which one?
Frakes: "The Pegasus." It was like first, second, third season...
Uh, actually it was the seventh season.
Sirtis: What's weird about this ENTERPRISE episode is that Troi and Riker got married in NEMESIS but now we have to go back to before they were even dating. It's set around the time when they were fighting the relationship, rather than giving in to it.
Frakes: It is strange. As I read the script, I kept having to remind myself that NEMESIS hadn't happened yet. When this takes place, you were going out with Worf at the time.
Don't you think it's weird that you guys are such a big part of the Enterprise finale? There seem to be some hurt feelings around here.
Sirtis: They don't have a great last scene like we did on the NEXT GENERATION finale. We had that poker scene where we all said goodbye. That was a real farewell.
Frakes: I think the ENTERPRISE ending is really nice for Scott Bakula. Archer is deified in this script. He's put right up there with Kirk and Picard. I like it.
Sirtis: It's like the actors each get their goodbye scenes with [Riker] instead of with each other. They individually come to see him, and he does his little bonding and counseling thing, which makes no damn sense because Troi is the counselor! But I'm not bitter or anything.
Frakes: Remember how emotional our last scene was on NEXT GENERATION?
Sirtis: Dorny was weeping like a baby, despite the fact that we were starting a STAR TREK movie in three days. I don't know these ENTERPRISE actors that well. I know some of the boys from running into them at conventions, but I think they're a little disappointed that the series is not running its course.
Frakes: More than disappointed.
Sirtis: Except they're still really young. They're now at the age we were when we started NEXT GENERATION.
But will you ever play these characters again?
Sirtis: Oh, yes! Absolutely we will!
Frakes: You mean you haven't heard?
Sirtis: Jonathan and I are planning our own sitcom.
Frakes: It's called The Rikers in Space. We'll be kinda like Ozzie and Harriet.
Sirtis: Only we'll live with our wacky Uncle Data and our dog Worf.
Frakes: It's gonna run for years!

SAVE ENTERPRISE
Beyond the rim of star-light, my love is wand'ring in star-flight/ I know he'll find in star-clustered reaches/ Love, strange love a star woman teaches/ I know his journey ends never/ His star trek will go on forever/ but tell him while he wanders his starry sea, remember, remember me.
