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.

Newsarama posted a new interview with former Star Trek Voyager actor Robert Picardo, in which he talks about his new role as commander of Stargate Atlantis. Here are few excerpts of the article.
There's a kind of freewheeling humorous, we're winking a little at the genre thing, that they do on Stargate very well," offers Picardo. "Star Trek tends to take itself a little too seriously. They were either very dramatic shows, or if we did a humorous show, it was always a little like ‘Oh, we're doing humor on Star Trek,' especially on the original series. I shouldn't say this in print but it was always a little painful when they were funny on Star Trek. My character on Voyager, because of the way he was presented, I could go either way. I could be a real buffoon, a windbag, be self-involved, and we could get a lot of comic mileage from him. However, the audience accepted me with gravity when I was in a dire situation so they would follow me in comic or dramatic stories. What I like about this show is they do both at the same time.
"Stargate constantly makes jokes. I was about to be eaten by a Wraith, and not in a fun way, last night. I'm about to be fed upon and I had a line that was quite funny. It had to be played dead serious but it's clearly a laugh in the moment I'm about to be killed. And I think it's cool that they do that. They'll keep both balls in the air very seamlessly and part of it is that they like to wink at the genre. It has that 'Indiana Jones' tone."
