Issue #19 Quarterly Jul/Aug/Sept Warp Domain Chronicles Brent Spiner In St: Enterprise’s Next Season According to Marina Sirtis, the lovely Deanna Troi from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," one of her former colleagues Brent Spiner will be appearing in a 3 episode arc, where Spiner will play a great-great-great-ancestor. The idea reportedly came from none other that Robert Picardo, who had pitched the idea of this to Braga. Picardo said “When I spoke to my pal Brent Spiner yesterday, I found out they're doing exactly the same story with Data in a three-part episode, which he and I both thought was a remarkable coincidence." STAR TREK STAR SCOTTY ILL The actor who played Scotty in TV's Star Trek has Alzheimer's disease. James Doohan, 84, also has Parkinson's disease, diabetes, lung fibrosis and suffered a bout of pneumonia. His Wife Wende,47, said: "With Jimmy it's the loss of words. He is not so sick yet that he doesn't know people. "And there are times when he is as sharp as a tack. But it's the older memories that stick. "What he had for breakfast might be an iffy thing, but golly he could tell you all about how he got the part in Star Trek." Jimmy's character was told on the US Enterprise: "Beam Me Up Scotty." A tribute to the actor is to take place in Hollywood next month. BeBeBermanBe rman Revealed Season Four Details Star Trek: Enterprise executive producer Rick Berman today said last season's cliffhanger will be resolved within the first few episodes of season four. "We've already mapped out the first six or seven episodes, in a general sense," Berman said in issue 116 of Star Trek Magazine. "We've got a story beat out for the first episode. The Xindi arc will be resolved within the first three episodes. After almost a season of taking a backseat to the Xindi arc, the Temporal Cold War will heat up again when Star Trek: Enterprise returns for its fourth season in September. Instead of a storyline that unfolds over the course of an entire year, season four will be comprised of a series of "very high- concept mini-arcs", Berman said. On the other hand, we don't feel that we want to go back to the season one and season two concept of 'we're out there exploring space,' period." Former Odyssey 5 writer Manny Coto, who joined the Enterprise staff as co-executive producer last season, will take a more active role in the creative direction of the series. Coto has been working with Berman and executive producer Brannon Braga to map out these arcs, which "will run two, three, maybe four episodes". "We've got a couple of them that I think are going to have some big surprises and things that will hearken back to perhaps The Original Series. We'll bring in some actors, and possibly some characters, that are very familiar to our audience." To read the full interview, pick up issue 116 of Star Trek Magazine, on sale from July 15. B5 Creator Pitches Trek Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski told fans on a B5 Usenet group that he and Dark Skies creator Bryce Zabel have put together an idea for a new Star Trek series, which he said would revive the ailing franchise. "I got together [with Zabel] and wrote a treatment earlier this year that specified how to save [Star Trek] and develop a series that would restore the series in a big way," Straczynski wrote. "I actually think it could be a hell of a show. Whether that ever goes anywhere with Paramount, who knows?" Straczynski added that Paramount called him last year to accept an executive producer position on the currrent Trek series, Enterprise, in its upcoming fourth season, but that he declined. "The series I mentioned has nothing to do with any current series," he added. "It's a new show." Manny Coto, who created Showtime's SF series Odyssey 5, will take over Enterprise next year as show runner. "As for Manny, he's a good writer, and left to his own devices, I think he could be a big help over there without the other powers-that-be impeding the process," Straczynski said.

The allegation is contained in nearly 400 pages of records ordered released on June 21 by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, who ruled on media requests to unseal documents from the Ryan case, the site reported. Jeri Ryan leveled the charges in a court filing in connection with child custody proceedings in September 2000, the site reported. Jeri Ryan argued that she refused Jack Ryan's requests for public sex during the excursions, which included a trip to a New York club "with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling," according to the court documents. Jack Ryan confirmed the trips with the actress, but described them simply as "romantic getaways," denying her claims that he sought public sex, the site reported. The politician has repeatedly claimed that his divorce file, portions of which were sealed in 2000 and 2001, contained no embarrassing information that would harm his chances against Democratic nominee Barack Obama. The Ryans were married in 1991 and, in November 1998, Jeri Ryan filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences," the site reported.

It is gone with a blip at the beginning of the movie claiming of new archeological evidence which shows the true story of King Arthur, which of course, is never revealed. In this version, Arthur is pressed into the service of Rome as a young boy. The movie takes place fifteen years later. He and his severely depleted Round Table of six knights have completed their supposed last tour of duty guarding Hadrian's Wall required of them by Rome. Arthur's knights are young, pagan horsemen from Samaria, who cannot return home without safe passage papers from Rome. Before Arthur and his Knights can be released from service, the Bishop who carries their release papers also brings the news that Arthur and his men have one final mission to complete: they must cross Hadrian's Wall to face the blue-painted tribes to the North led by the sorcerer-warrior, Merlin, in order to retrieve a noble Roman family, a sort of Saving Private Roman . The hitch is that Rome is abandoning Britain to the conquest-hungry Saxons who are landing on the island's shores. Excalibur, which is carried by Arthur in the movie, was pulled from his father’s grave by a young Arthur in defense of his family.
