Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Clearly, Joe Mallozzi is a benevolent god for we will be getting bloopers! Joe confirmed it in his blog. It is, of course, pending approval of the actors. Here’s hoping that they all agree to it.
Other Stargate goodies include new Q&A videos with David Hewlett and Amanda Tapping. As before, there are a few snippets from unaired episodes, so you are warned. These are fun. We must continue these!
Trina reports that those of you who save the Earth (and your sanity) by riding buses in systems served by Transit TV (LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando and Milwaukee) can see an interview with Aaron Allston and Troy Denning, this month.
Always nice to start or end your day with Star Wars!
Many members of Club Jade are green with envy that Bonnie got to interview Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran! (Why, yes. Some of us are that old, thank you.)
Nick talks about the brilliance of Star Wars, how sci-fi and fantasy have influenced the band and the coolness that is working with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake on their new album Red Carpet Massacre.
Leonard Nimoy confirms that the movie is a prequel. (Shock!) But more interestingly, he talks about his photography work.
Is Patrick Stewart about to guest on Dr. Who? I think there are more than a few people in Club Jade who would find that pretty exciting!
Let us bow our heads at the (hopefully temporary) passing of the planned Heroes spin-off Origins.
Okay. The writers and the studios are having some “issues.” But did they have to kill a shiny new Heroes show? ::sigh::
In the meantime, E!’s Kristin has some interesting tidbits about upcoming happenings in this season of Heroes. Spoil at your own risk.
I love the experience of opening up the year’s big Star Wars coffee table book. This one’s quite the experience.
The Star Wars Vault, by Stephen J. Sansweet and Peter Vilmur, is The Star Wars Scrapbook on steroids.
I just love Halloween in the stores. The Halloween decorations are put on clearance. The Thanksgiving stuff is on sale. And the Christmas decorations are fresh on the shelves.
It’s also the time when we get the year’s batch of Star Wars gift books. Y’know, the ones that are just a little more expensive and, thus, in a wonderful price range for someone looking to get you something special.
One of those books is A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy by Matthew Reinhart.
Get out your thesaurus, because screaming out “Cool!” for all the times you’re wowed by this book will take the shine off that word.

Geez. How many people are going to be in this movie?
Apparently, Captain Pike is going to be in the upcoming Star Trek movie with Josh Lucas being rumored as in the running. (Insert comment about his great abs here.)
In other Trek Talk, Nichelle Nichols is an object of awe on the Heroes set. (I can totally understand that.)
And let’s all give out a yell for KHAAAAAN at the 2007 Scream Awards in which they celebrated the 25th anniversary of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
It’s amazing how nice it is to enjoy a new episode of Stargate when you already know they’re coming back next year. Joe Mallozzi spoke to GateWorld about it. He won’t have time later, as Season 5 planning kicks off today! (After Joe gets done terrorizing Nigerian scam artists, that is.)
Good thing that SciFi already made their decision to renew as the ratings for Reunion came in about even.
In non-ratings-related stuff, the ever-charming Carmen Argenziano (Jacob/Selmak) chats with GateWorld about the love he has for Stargate.
Has genre programming failed to live up to Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a diverse earth? Mark Wilson poses this question and rates the shows on About.com.
[Editor’s Note: This is not meant to be divisive, folks. Just raising the question.]
