Nov 06 | J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode of "Undercovers," his Warner Bros. secret agent pilot at NBC. Schedule permitting, Abrams, who also serves as executive producer and co-writer for the pilot, will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" two-part opener, which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time and helped launch Abrams' career into helming such theatrical films as "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Star Trek." The NBC pilot has been described as a mix between "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "The Bourne Identity." The original report is at the Hollywood Reporter.

"I have certainly been the vocal one," Jolene Blalock fesses to the Boston Herald. "I had assumptions, and we all know what happens when we assume."
The outspoken actress has used "appalling" to describe the ENTERPRISE series finale, featuring a NEXT GENERATION "thank you" from the series producers.
"I assumed that the ending would be about our show and not a wrap-up of the conglomerate," Blalock said. "I understand and respect what (the producers and writers) were trying to accomplish... Reading the script for the finale was sad because I wish I would have known. Of course, that's the way it goes, so we go forward. It was just insulting."
Ms. Blalock has long been critical of the liaison between her onscreen character, T'Pol, and Connor Trinneer's honky-tonk Trip Tucker. "It was so monotonous. There were a lot of feelings, but nothing ever happened. We repeated the same story over and over. Either make it a relationship or don't, but you can't walk this line forever. It's boring."
Early in her employment by the STAR TREK franchise, Jolene admitted she's a longtime fan of the original series, and an unabashed "Spock Girl."
"Thinking about STAR TREK not being on the air for the first time in 18 years is strange. I'm very grateful and fortunate that I was able to be part of this incarnation. It's sad to see it go, but I really believe in my heart of hearts that it's not gone forever," motions the head-turning Saturn Award winner.
Blalock expressed fond memories of working on ENTERPRISE, and the sentiment in her final scene. "I loved going to work every day. I loved the routine. I loved the people that I worked with. All the cast members worked on that last day. So as one person would complete their last scene, we would send them out (with applause). Scott Bakula and I were in the very last scene. Before we started shooting that scene, I caught eyes with Scott, and it was just a moment I will never forget. And he walked over and he shook my hand before we started shooting that last scene, and I almost lost it. It just said it all."
Would the 30-year-old San Diego native reprise her Vulcan persona? "It all depends on the material. I wish the best for T'Pol, and I don't wish her to be viewed as everything that they made her -- a drug addict, weak woman, confused, lost."
Jolene Blalock stars in the upcoming indie film SLOW BURN, and she looks forward to exploring new opportunities. "This is my turn, and it's a good time for me because I'm fortunate enough to not need to work. So (I have) the liberty and the ability to be selective and take my time with this one until it's right, until it's a script I can't help but be passionate about. I want to read something where I clap at the end. I want to be excited."
Live long and prosper.
Read the original article by Amy Amatangelo in The Edge from the Boston Herald.
The Toronto Star's Rob Salem, who scooped Blalock's "appalling" quote, also addresses the series' larger ills in "ENTERPRISE limps off to oblivion"...
"I mean, you have to kind of look at it as a long 18-year trajectory, and STAR TREK hit its apex during NEXT GENERATION," said Brannon Braga. "In fact, when NEXT GENERATION was transitioning to DEEP SPACE NINE and VOYAGER, it was taking a chance at that time. There has been an erosion in the fan base, so it did not stop with ENTERPRISE."
"That's Brannon flying out of town," Rick Berman laughed. "The fans are chasing him with scythes."
The final two episodes of ENTERPRISE air Friday, May 13, at 8pm ET on UPN.
