something wicked this way comes....

Hey, zinjadu (and all other Sean Bean and/or Shakespeare fans)...

Take a look at this.

Update: Oh, and while I'm linkspamming... I did a little checking at the official Star Trek site (www.startrek.com, as though any of you couldn't have guessed it...) and found this:

In addition to clarifying that he may or may not direct the film, Abrams also distanced himself from Variety's report that the plot of "Star Trek XI" would revolve around a young James T. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy.

"We've made a pact not to discuss any specifics," he said.

At the same time, though, he confessed to being a fan of the Original Series and remarked, "Those characters are so spectacular. I just think that... you know, they could live again."

I'm a bit relieved by this, honestly, mostly because the Starfleet Academy plot idea seemed even further from the usual Trek movie than I'd expect. Still very interested to see what comes of this.

I'm not sure about that, but she did see him at a con. Not quite the same, but a lot closer than most of us have been. ;)

It was! And you should, although the first season kind of... is iffy sometimes. ...Although once a person survives S1 for B5, that probably sets new levels for 'iffy.' Ugh, Sinclair and Sakai. Anyway. No, she didn't... I double-checked IMDb.com just to make sure, and she wasn't ever on it. My impression had always been that she left B5 because the plot called for her to leave, not the other way 'round - is that not true?

I remember hearing that the plot allowed for her leaving because she wanted to leave the show, not the other way around; she was written out because she wanted to go elsewhere. (I think it probably had to do with her divorcing Peter Doyle.) As I recall, JMS had "backdoors" planned for most of the main characters; ways to write them out of the story if the need should arise. In Talia's case, it did.

Ohhhhhh. Huh. That's a really good way of handling that problem... wow. I'm impressed all over again by his writerly cleverness.

[miss-arel.livejournal.com]

Heee. Well, JMS is kind of an obsessive writer to begin with, and B5 was his baby. It was smart of him to provide excape routes for characters on their way out that would fit with the story, especially when he had most of the 5-year story arc planned from the beginning.

No she left-at least from what I've gathered hunting the 'net- because she wanted Talia to have a bigger part and the fact that she was in the credits but not in as many episodes. (I think that means she can contract herself out even if she isn't shooting for B5 right?) Or something like that I know she wanted her role to expand. But again this is just stuff I pulled up on the 'net. I'm sure there's more to the story.

Hee. Too true about S1 on B5. I now have a better tolerance for bad acting because of those two. Makes one wonder if one could sit through a Paris Hilton movie...Yeah, no.
