As you may be able to tell, my formal training is not as a writer. My degrees are in physics and education. In my day job, I work in supplemental education, which is why my productivity is lowest when report card season hits.

Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis rumoured to appear on Enterprise

Dark
Nexus writes, Trek Today is reporting
the rumour that Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis may
be reprising their roles as William Riker and Deanna
Troi in the season finale of Enterprise. Considering
the finale is being written by B&B, and not Manny
Coto, I wouldn’t be suprised to see them pull a stunt
like this. GrimSean also provided us with links
to this story.

Oscar and Razzie nominees

The Academy Award nominations are out,
with very little genre representation. The Razzie
awards, on the other hand, look like they’ll be swept
by Catwoman, which leads the pack with seven
nominations. I just picked up that DVD today, to
find out if it’s really as bad as they say it is. (I
also picked up the new animated Batman and
Superman sets.) Expect reviews some time
this year.

Weekly Comics Discussion

Yes, this is a night early. I’ll be away at a
management retreat for the next couple of days, which
also means the “Smallville” review won’t be up until
Friday. In the meantime, enjoy your copies of
Fantastic Four #522 and Ultimate
Fantastic Four #15 this week, along with any of
a number of interesting trade paperbacks that you can
find listed here.
