In the News:

Movie Talk:
“Hidden Frontier” has also announced a fourth outing in the series called “Star Trek: Federation One.” It will be a four-part miniseries that will follow the doings of the Federation President and all his/her staff as they work on deliberations begun in “Operation Beta Shield.”

TV Talk:
Comcast would shoulder a large portion of the production costs to keep the show alive, and the third season would air on CBS after Comcast subscribers get the first look. But actor contracts would have to be renegotiated, sets would have to be rebuilt, and the writing and production staff would have to be reassembled if the deal is made.
Interview: This week, our guest is Michael Trucco, who portrays Sam Anders on Battlestar Galactica, a fan favorite who’s recently discovered he’s truly a Cylon.
Michael talks to us about the shock of the revelation of his being a Cylon at the end of Season 3, and more, but don’t worry… we didn’t coerce any spoilers or story secrets from him and get him in trouble with Ron Moore and the gang.
Future Talk:
The overall project for ‘Artemis Eternal’ began over a year ago and is noted for its advanced presentation, professional packaging and the involvement of high-profile crew members, such as a noted computer artist, Greg Martin. With the budget almost half-way reached thus far, filming is set to begin in May. So, exactly what is this film going to be about? According to Stover, “The best sci-fi really comes down to metaphor and an exploration of Philosophy. Even the best episodes of Star Trek accomplish that. Simplified, Artemis Eternal is about questioning what society expects of you and what we accept as normal. Individuality vs. Society’s Norms, participating in rites of passage that maybe don’t mean anything to you.”

Another good show. Sounded like you guys made poor Mr Trucco nervous. Maybe you can have him do a quest spot on Cover to Cover and have a special triple threat show.
Poor guy. I didn’t really care much about Anders in the beginning, but I didn’t hate him. Now that he’s a permanent part of the show I like him.
