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 Times posted a new interview with Star Trek star William Shatner and here are few excerpts.
"I never had any expectation," he says bluntly about his career. "I attribute a great deal of it all to luck. I think the pursuit of success is environmental - I had wonderful parents who encouraged and supported me and taught me the value of money and hard work."
When he watches himself as a young Captain James T. Kirk on Star Trek The Original Series episodes, he says the man on screen is unrecognisable to him.
"He's a complete stranger," he says. "Not only is he physically foreign, emotionally I don't know where I was at that time. There's also a certain amount of revulsion involved - how could I have looked that young? What happened? I should have taken more vitamins. It's totally science-fictional."
Quote from cdydatzigs:
As shocking as this may sound to many of the Shatner fans here...
This is old hat among Shatner fans, so again you speak in ignorance of what others understand.
The common phenomenon (which is now all too poignant for Shatner) isn't tied to any vocation -- it's about anything and everything that's essentially taken for granted in life, particularly throughout one's youth.
Shatner again touches upon this in the "You'll have time" track of his Has Been album, in which hindsight regrets not having lived life fully in the moment, too late when comes the maw of death...
Maybe you won't suffer; maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
"Why did I waste it?"
"Why didn't I taste it?"
You'll have time
'Cause you're gonna die
(complete lyrics)
