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.

TrekWeb talks to Nick Cook, actor/producer of the fan production series Starship Intrepid about their upcoming episode titled "Where There's a Sea", which will be available for download tomorrow, July 20th.
1- Nick, what you can tell us about the plot of "Where There's a Sea" ?
While transporting Lieutenant Cole, the crew of the Merchant Service Starship Ariadne find themselves in the crosshairs of an Orion raiding party. When a distress call to Intrepid goes unanswered, the crew must fend for themselves.
2- How did "Where There's a Sea" come about? What was the inspiration for it?
Well the title gives a pretty good hint as to the subject matter. It's borrowed from a phrase I once heard, that goes "Where there's a sea, there are pirates." Make of that what you will. I also wanted to show that out here on the frontier, with little immediate back up, Starfleet might have to bend a few rules that those nearer the comfort of the core worlds might not have to.
3- Why are you doing this episode as a 10 minute short ?
We basically pinched the idea from James Cawley's Phase 2. There were a couple of short story ideas I had that would raise a few story threads that I thought would be interesting, and we thought it'd be a nice, quick follow-up to Heavy Lies the Crown. Where There's a Sea was one of three shorts I planned, of the other two, Machinations is currently in post, and the other, Next in Line, evolved into a full length episode, Transitions and Lamentations, which is also in post.
4- What is the role of your character, Captain Hunter, in "Where There's a Sea" ?
Hunter really doesn't have much to do in Where There's a Sea, but he's less than happy about the role he's been forced into.
5- Finally, Nick, what is the status of your ambitious Captain Picard episode, "The Stone Unturned" ?
