Mum, Scott, Stuff..
In Scott news, two people sent me emails about Scott interviews in magazines. One was Starburst, and it was interesting. There's more in the article than just the stuff quoted on TrekToday or TrekWeb or whereever I got that alert from (sorry, scattered brain syndrome today). And appparently there is an article in StarTrek Communicator, but that may be the one I already read. Issue 151? Someone email me and let me know if that's the one that's part two of the one from the spring? Cause if it is, I already have that, and probably you do too. (Don't feel obliged to say anything about my mother unless you want to. It's nice to know people care, but you don't have to pretend to care. If all you care about is Scott that's fine too. Not that I'm minding, but if you're just being polite, you don't have to :-) After all, you come for Scott news, right? I'm just posting the other stuff cause it's easier than emailing all my friends (but Thanks! to all the people who actually do care :-)and told me so. Yesterday was a day worthy of antacids--possibly tranquilizers...).
And for Bonus Points, I hear another hurricane may be coming..

QL DVD Date and Random Scott News
In other ...stuff: James Whitmore Jr has been quoted making comments about how great Scott is (cause you never hear that sort of thing from anyone ;-), in the October 2004 issue of Starlog magazine. This quote brought to you by Janek as posted on the trekbbs:
"Scott Bakula is the best," Whitmore praises. "Scott's a great leader and my best friend in the business. I love that guy like a brother. We did Quantum Leap together for years; I acted in a couple and directed 20 of them. Quantum Leap was the perfect show for him, because he can do anything entertainment asks for: He can sing, dance, act and do anything physical. Plus, he's a great looking guy. I can't think of anyone else I would rather be on a set with everyday, Scott takes care of his people, and he's thoughtful and considerate to the other actors. He makes it all about them. That's why I did Enterprise -- he wanted me to come in and try one."
...and the man wonders why his fans are so "devoted"... Speaking of which, if you have written to Heather or to me about the birthday project, and neither of us have gotten back to you -- please email me again. It's been a little crazy in my life as you might have noticed (but if you did email me, I did pass it on. I just want to make sure no one gets missed.)

"Well, the floor tells me she's discharged and waiting for a ride, so, call from the attending or not, I guess I'd better pick her up."
So... maybe someone will eventually get around to telling us whether she's going to die or whether they feel like excavating the big mass in her brain. I hope so, because by the time the information is funneled through her, it comes out kinda more garbled than originally. (sigh)
In the meantime, more prayers are obviously needed. Throw in a couple for my sanity, if you could, (and thanks to the people who emailed me).

Enterprise Project -- re: Recent Comments by Cast that this is the LAST season
Okay, folks, I DON'T let things like this "ruin my night" -- I let
them motivate me to prove them WRONG.
Dominic's fearing it's the last season. Jolene's fearing it. That's
not a lot of fun. You need to WRITE to these guys, to the cast, to
let them know the fans still love them and the show! One of the
greatest things that Bjo Trimble's campaign ever did was work on
keeping up cast and crew morale, and that's something everyone here with paper and stamps can do for our guys at Paramount. Do it, and do it PLENTY.
AND -- last season, huh? People were saying that LAST season.
People were trying it at the end of SECOND season, as some of us have reason to know -- it's why we STARTED in the first place.
We got a third season. We got a fourth season. Let's prove Jolene,
Dominic and company wrong here, and get them -- and us -- a FIFTH
season.
This isn't a defeat message -- THEY'RE not UPN. THEY don't cancel
the show. THEY would like to be working next year as much as WE want them to be filming. THIS message is a call to arms! Just because the season premiere isn't for a month and a half doesn't mean you can sit back. If you want Season Five, start working on it NOW -- get those letters, emails, and faxes ready if you haven't started up again already.
The Season Premiere project will be announced shortly, so get ready
to rock and roll, soldiers!

Scott starred in a short film (13min runtime) a couple of years ago called "The Ticket", directed by David Fuller (One of the writers of Necessary Roughness). The film has been shown at several film festivals, and will eventually be shown on the Fox Searchlab website. You can find a photo of Scott from the film here and details of Fox Searchlab's short film programme here.
According to the director, it's scheduled to be the next film featured on the site. Mr. Fuller says the best way to get it shown is to e-mail and express an interest. He also said that he will be telling Scott that his fans have been asking about the film.

Quotes -- Scott at TCA Press Party
At the press party held by UPN in Santa Monica last Tuesday ...
We'll start with Scott Bakula ("Captain Archer"), who says the next season will have "a different kind of vibe" in the aftermath of the last. "We can't go back to exploring the way we did the first two years because we're different people, we're a different ship. We've all had life-altering experiences." He likens it to soldiers coming back from a war. "How do they come back into society, how do they readjust their behaviors? What has happened to them will always be inside of them, every time they're confronted with new situations." His particular challenge is to explore the emotional scars his own character bears from his actions in the Delphic Expanse. "How does he address them, how does he make peace with them, and then how does he move forward? There's no going back for this guy. It's great stuff to be able to contemplate, and great stuff for them to write."
In the midst of dealing with the repercussions of the Xindi conflict, Bakula does hope that, once the current situation set into motion by "Zero Hour" is resolved, the Enterprise crew gets some reward, perhaps "a great reception." "We did save the world, so we should get some attention for that!"
The move to Friday nights for the show is probably a very positive thing, Bakula thinks. "There wasn't anything particularly fascinating about being on Wednesday nights. Actually, I think being away from the Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday UPN thing will allow us to have our own 'place,' and I'm hoping that we have a different kind of success there. I don't know what they're hoping for, but I think we're going to surprise people. The fans come to it wherever it is, and they follow the bizarre UPN schedule — which defies explanation to me — but they've found us, and they continue to hang out with us, and they're faithful all around the world. So, you know, we've got to take care of our end of it, and then the rest will follow.
Concerning reports that William Shatner could guest star on the show this season, Bakula sees the possibility as "amazing" but also "daunting." "You know, I've been such a huge fan of his for so many years, and to have him be on a bridge again, on our bridge in particular, would be mind-boggling."

from rnrmarathon.com:
Known for his starring role as Sam Beckett on the sci-fi adventure series "Quantum Leap," and now as a member of the "Star Trek Enterprise," Scott Bakula finished his first marathon in an equally impressive 4:08:34.
"I had an amazing day from start to finish," Bakula replied when asked about his first marathon experience. He added a hearty laugh at the realization that the elite athletes were crossing the finish line when he was only at the half waypoint.

from the Upfronts:

More info can be found at The Futon Critic (12:09 pm)
And here is a press release from Enterprise Project
May 20, 2004
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: MJ Rogers
The Enterprise Project (www.enterpriseproject.org) sends its thanks
to UPN, Paramount, and Viacom for announcing the renewal of "Star
Trek: Enterprise" for a fourth season.
"We're pleased to hear that they've actually listened to the fans,"
says MJ Rogers, founder of the Project, which is the largest and
longest-running organized fan group working to keep the show on the
air. "Although the ratings haven't been as high as those for some
other shows, we don't believe that the ratings accurately reflect the
show's viewership, and the outpouring of support for the show
reflects that."
Much of that support, for the past year, has come from Enterprise
Project members who have written to UPN and Paramount, worked at
science fiction conventions handing out literature and running
panels, and placed full-page advertisements in the Hollywood Reporter
supporting the show and demanding its renewal.
Another advertisement from the group and from other Star Trek:
Enterprise fan groups will run in the weekly edition of Hollywood
Reporter on May 25, the day before the airing of the season finale.
This advertisement will thank UPN for renewing the series.
"Trek fans have been reputed to be argumentative and ungrateful in
the past," says Rogers. "We want to get rid of that image." The
Project is also sponsoring a "Thank You" campaign to UPN to let the
network know that fans appreciate the renewal of the series, which
was at risk of cancellation.
Rogers says that the credit for lobbying UPN and Viacom goes not only
to members of Enterprise Project, but to the thousands of fans, both
in other groups and individually, who have worked to help keep the
series on the air. Rogers cautions, however, "this doesn't mean that
Season Five is guaranteed either. Sometimes the price of Trek is
eternal vigilance by fans."
Over forty fan groups have assisted Enterprise Project in sponsoring
ads and in promoting the show at science fiction conventions in the
past year, and the Project also thanks them for all of their hard
work.
This marks the second time in the history of the Star Trek franchise
that a Trek series was kept on the air after a fan campaign
successfully persuaded a network to renew the series. The original
series was to be cancelled after its second season, but the network
was persuaded to give the series one more year after a fan campaign
was organized by Bjo Trimble.

Rumor Control: Enterprise Not Yet Officially Picked Up
As of one minute ago.
NO word on renewal, and NO pre-production going on yet. No production of
any
kind going on yet, and only one or two people even around.
They are not starting anything until THEY have word on May 20. THEY don't
consider themselves renewed.
End quote. UPN will announce its fall schedule in NYC on Thursday. Thank you cards for picking up the show should be sent to UPN, requests for other networks to pick up the show if cancelled should be sent to Paramount...
As you already know, this week and next are the last two Enterprise episodes of this season. (and wow, I've loved season 3!)

Enterprise Project at Starfest, Denver
Over Five Hundred Starfest Fans Show Support For ENTERPRISE and
Enterprise Project
Enterprise Project www.enterpriseproject.org attended Starfest 2004
in Denver, Colorado from April 16-18, with a table in the fan club
rooms and live interviews on I-Sci-Fi (www.i-sci-fi.com).
Five hundred Star Trek: Enterprise fans signed postcards as part of
Enterprise Project's "Bug UPN" postcard campaign, and more took
flyers explaining the current situation regarding the show's renewal
status. Additionally, Enterprise Project founder MJ Rogers and co-
moderator PJ presented a panel on "Enterprise and the future of
Trek," discussing ways for fans to promote the show. The standing-
room-only panel attracted nearly one hundred fans anxious to discuss
their feelings about the show and the franchise.
"The enthusiasm fans have for the series is incredible," said
Rogers. "However, many fans have had no idea of the possibility that
the show won't be back next season. This was an important way to get
the word out, especially since UPN has said that the renewal decision
would be made this month."
The group also held a raffle of Enterprise and other Trek
memorabilia, including action figures, books, and autographed photos,
with proceeds covering costs of printing and mailing the postcards
for the fans.
Captain TRexx of I-Sci-Fi interviewed Rogers, PJ, and another member
of Enterprise Project during the convention, and promoted not only
the group but the show and the convention appearance of Enterprise
actor Dominic Keating (Lieutenant Malcolm Reed).
The Project was assisted at Starfest by members of the USS Pioneer
and of USS Ticonderoga, as well as by several of its own members.

ZERO HOUR -- It's time for UPN to decide Enterprise's fate April 2, 2004
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT:
Recently, the Enterprise Project spearheaded Operation Open Letter. This letter, directed to UPN's Dawn Ostroff and Les Moonves of CBS, was published in the Hollywood Reporter (24 February) in support of Star Trek: Enterprise. More than $4,000 was raised for the ad, with a surplus of funds donated to charity.
Project members are now pleased to announce a new campaign: In keeping with the idea of "bugging" UPN and the other powers that be, Enterprise viewers from all over the world will send an avalanche of unique postcards, many of them featuring the Xindi
Insectoid "Baby Bugs."
These projects demonstrate that the fans of the long running and beloved Star Trek franchise enjoy and respect the series so much that they have taken upon themselves the task of promoting it.
Fans of Enterprise hope that UPN, CBS, Paramount and parent company Viacom will come to realize that millions of viewers worldwide will continue to "bug" them until the show is renewed for a fourth season. Most of these viewers have no Nielsen boxes or any other means of proving how large and loyal an audience Star Trek: Enterprise commands.
Fans expect a huge mail-in response to this campaign and invite all who wish to support Enterprise to participate by sending postcards during the month of April. They hope it will convince network executives that Enterprise has a large, loyal and involved audience that is highly attractive to potential sponsors and that the series is eminently worthy of renewal.
For more information and addresses, please visit our web site:
www.enterpriseproject.org

Scott comments -- Bellisario Star
LOS ANGELES - Donald P. Bellisario, ...took his own leap Tuesday when his name joined more than 2,000 others on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Scott Bakula, who starred in the Emmy-winning science fiction series "Quantum Leap," joked about his work with Bellisario, who has been working on TV shows for 30 years.
"The other day there was a 'Quantum Leap' marathon on television somewhere," Bakula said. "My 8-year-old blurted out, 'did you ever get to meet God?' I responded, saying, 'meet him, I worked with him for 4 1/2 years!'"

Ratings -- 10/29, Another View
article below by Michael Hinman
According to Nielsen Overnight Metered Markets on Wednesday, "Smallville" scored a 5.9 rating/9 share, nearly doubling the audience that has tuned in for "Enterprise," which scored a 3.9/6. However, that score was a 6 percent drop over the previous week for "Smallville" while "Enterprise" actually gained nearly 7 percent more audience than its previous original episode which aired two weeks ago. And "Smallville" had a special guest appearance by Michael McKean to introduce the popular genre character Perry White.
Since the beginning of Star Trek's season Sept. 10, "Enterprise" has lost just 11 percent of its audience through seven episodes. "Smallville," on the other hand, has lost more than 12 percent through just five episodes. While "Smallville" has more audience to lose, the continued erosion has to be a concern of The WB executives.

Bakula Productions News -- New Story Bought, to be Pitched
39-year-old Terry Wallis of Big Flat had been in a coma of varying degrees from a 1984 car crash until July, when he suddenly said "Mom" and "Pepsi" to his mother, Angilee Wallis.
His story spread worldwide, and after an extended bidding war, Scott Bakula Productions agreed to a six-figure deal for the right to make a screenplay.
Bakula and partner Tom Spiroff will pitch the story to television networks in coming weeks.
Wallis' mother says Wallis has progressed to the point where he can start conversations, rather than just say words. But he needs more therapy.
An agent is setting up a nonprofit organization, TerryWallisFund.org, to pay for Terry's care. Because of the arrangement, the proceeds of the movie deal and donations to
the family won't affect the Wallises' Medicaid status. found at http://www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/MetropolLiterary/ on 10/24..

BEAM MY DINNER UP, PLEASE Currently serving as the captain of "Enterprise," the latest TV show in the "Star Trek" franchise, Scott Bakula brought a large contingent of his family to dine at Skipjack's in the Back Bay the other night. One spy told us, "He is quite a hottie, signing autographs and being very nice." Officially, all the restaurant would tell us is that "he was very pleasant" and seemed "to have a great time." No captain's platter or the like for dinner. Bakula enjoyed Skipjack's tuna sashimi and the lobster.

If you like the show. For instance, if you see a magazine, like TV Guide

that letter will get in TV Guide three weeks later, or two weeks later.
so, again, you heard the man--write, call, email, let your voice be heard. Addresses and numbers can be found at

We are alive, and my mother still has the brain tumor, and the storm is coming
(and darn, I just got done posting Scott news! -- but it's not time sensitive..)
Stay tuned... (yes Jay's site is down, too)
First up, the doctor's office called this morning to say "oops, we meant to say your appointment was *next* Wednesday" ...joy.. Comments?
So, while we wait for an appointment with the neurosurgeon to see if they can remove the giant thing from her head (and whether insurance will cover surgery in a 73 year old woman -- in case you were looking for things to pray for..) this morning my mother tells me she's dizzy. Eventually my brother did get around to telling me that yes, they did call the doctor and say it was an emergency, as it could be.. I don't know.. more arrythmias, or something less lethal.
Theoretically, there should be updates on my brother's page..
Sorry for the interruption of your Scott news --
thanks to MW for the QL news.
Don't forget Role of a Lifetime is being released next Tuesday. Not a clue if it will be in the stores, but you can buy it online.
and the deadline for Scott's birthday book is Wednesday..
Comments?
Well, not news so much as people's comments about Scott, again. :-)
The QL DVD release date, if you don't already know, has been pushed back to December. No reason given. If you aren't getting prices that hover somewhere around $40, you're paying too much. Try Amazon.com or Sam's Club/BJ's/Costco warehouses, or even Walmart. I doubt the extra profits are going to anyone who will affect the outcome of future releases (and correct me if you know I am wrong) so, you know... don't pay more than you have to. But do get it. I don't have to tell you that anyway, right?
thanks to Janek
thanks for your patience and everything
Comments?
Well, we don't know anything, cause they seem to be refusing to tell us, or forgetting to tell us, but in the meantime, my brother sent me this IM a couple of minutes ago
Jay will have updates on his page when he actually knows something... He says lots of people are checking in, and most of them are coming from here, so -- thanks :-)
Comments?
To say that today is one of those days when life stinks would be an understatement. If you could please check out my brother's web page for more details it would save me having to explain...again.
One amendment -- the part about not being religious.. I do believe in God and I do pray, so anyone's prayers would be appreciated. It sounds like the tumor is pretty big.
thanks

Hurricane Charley turned, yesterdat afternoon, and slammed into Ft Myers and then Polk County, where I believe at least one of my co-workers lives, instead of us. I'be been watching the Damage on local TV and, occasionally, thanking God. Flying tractor trailer trucks are just no fun at all.

Charley is due to make landfall, and probably right where I live, around 3:30 to 4pm EDT, with those exciting 110 mph winds, and that nice 10 foot storm surge. We don't live in the evac area, and so get to stay in our home and not leave with the 380,000 who were evac'ed yesterday.
As the power may go out and stay that way.. check out my brother's site, linked in an earlier post, for updates.
Prayers always welcomed. I'd love to be over-reacting :-)

from TV Guide.com
Elsewhere, Star Trek: Enterprise captain Scott Bakula had "no idea" whether Trek icon William Shatner will really appear on the show, but said "it would be fantastic. Unbelievable!" Because Enterprise is technically a prequel to the original Trek, it seems unlikely Shatner could play Captain Kirk. Or is it? "I don't know," Bakula shrugged. "They could work out something with Kirk's genealogy or maybe time travel. I think Shatner will be connected to his Kirk character somehow, though."

Production on "Storm Front" began Thursday, June 15, with scenes filmed in Sickbay, the Bridge, and the Situation Room with the entire cast minus Scott Bakula, who reports to the set on Friday to begin filming. "Storm Front", the first chapter of a multiple-episode arc that will resolve the conclusion of the third season finale, is expected to continue production until next week and will air some time in late September for the season's premiere.

According to at least three sources last night, UPN has changed Enterprise's time slot for the fall to 8 (EIGHT)pm beginning sometime in August, I believe, and continuing.
Thanks again to Carol for the lovely picture, above. I was too busy attempting to get words out of my mouth while looking at Scott's face (those two things are hard to do at the same time!) to take any pix, so I'm grateful! (for that, and a whole bunch of other things. Thanks Carol!)

From Barbara as posted on the SBFF(now paraphrased -- I was in a hurry before):
VH1 is airing "I Love the 90's: 1993" and there is a nice long episode featuring Quantum Leap. Scott himself doesn't appear on it outside of QL, but there's a lot of talk about the show lasting several minues.

Quantum Leap - Season 2 is on the way!
Posted by Gord Lacey
7/12/2004
Here's a bit of news that was left off the recent Universal TV press release: Quantum Leap: Season 2 is going to be released on October 26! Season 2 was the first full season of the series, featuring 22 episodes. This 3 disc set (DVD-18) will carry a suggested retail price of $59.98, the same price as season 1, though season 1 only consisted of 8 episodes.
The information we received lists an English Stereo track, but season 1 contained Dolby Surround, so we expect this is just an error in the information we were supplied with. The set will also contain English, French and Spanish subtitles. No word on extras yet, but we expect that to come before the set ships. We'll have cover art available when it's released.

The DVD set will be available here in the UK 15th November according to ebay. this info is from DebbieO, who also notes "At the moment I'm unable to find any more info."
Excerpts from the article are at trektoday and trekweb, but they are taking the The glass is half full approach, and they aren't quoting the entire article... if you don't get tvguide, and you want a copy of the scan, email me. My POV is that a full page in TV Guide is rarely a bad thing.

"By the amount of mail and calls that we've received from loyal Star Trek fans, we have every reason to believe that the viewers will follow Enterprise to its new night and time," Ostroff told advertisers May 20 at the network's "upfront" presentation. "After all, this is a show that recently topped a USA Today poll, with 70 percent of the respondents voting for Enterprise to come back next season."

In case you were wondering, part A is that MJ has stated that it is now time to start petitioning (writing letters, asking) Paramount to shop the show to other networks if UPN should be (insert adjective here) enough to not pick up the show (which Scott said yesterday on Wayne Brady that, no, they don't know yet, and that alternate endings for the season finale were shot).

There has been an email circulating on the 'net from a group with good intentions, that the show has been cancelled. The body of the message clarifies that the headers was a scare tactic designed to get your attention.
If you were upset by this message, feel free to let the sender know that there are more positive ways to inform the uninformed than by sending factually incorrect headers in messages to fans. The situation is still serious to extremely serious, but there are better ways to make a point without sacrificing credibilty.
MJ, of the Enterprise Project has requested that this month, until UPN unveils its fall schedule on May 20, our last big push be to snail mail, fax or call UPN with the simple message:
"When's the premiere date in September for ENT Season 4?"
UPN Fax: 310-575-7210
snail mail addresses can be found at www.enterpriseproject.org
Anything you can do to spread awareness of the show's plight to viewers or let the network know you want Enterprise to continue -- without resorting to uncheckedd "facts" or hyperbole -- is appreciated by all of us who spent years not being able to watch Scott weekly, and Scott has said he appreciates our efforts as well.
Stamp out rumors, Support the show.
As a Scott fan, I thank you.

with TV Guide reporting that the series' fate is still up in the air, and Marc Berman of MediaWeek still prophesying that it will be cancelled, never let it be said that one dedicated Scott fan cannot make a difference. If you've ever watched Quantum Leap, you know better. :-)
Join the Enterprise Project in their April Campaign.
UPN will decide sometime this month whether to renew it's most popular but also most expensive show or to replace it with cheaper to produce, ratings-winning mind-numbing, reality series.
UPN has left the promotion on Enterprise in the hands of its fans, many of whom still don't believe the series is in any danger. So tell your friends, family, co-workers, total strangers -- as Scott said, "people on the street" -- and then tell UPN.
For those wishing to create their own Postcards, samples and graphic files are available at Apryl's website. You will also find the addresses to mail to, a database of newpapers and publications to send this press release to (and please, if you know of any fannish groups online or off, send it to them as well -- never, never underestimate the power of the 'net).. and don't forget The Enterprise Project Website.Press Release

From TV Guide.com's Ask Matt (Roush)
Question:
Watching Enterprise, it's obvious to me that the producers are going all out to make it good — almost to the point of excess. Is it just me, or does it seem like all the pressure put on Enterprise this season sort of undermines the natural evolution of the series? Even TNG and DS9, both shows considered to be great Trek, weren't all that interesting in their first three years but they eventually found their voices and greatness. Are we pushing Enterprise too hard? If it comes back for another season, don't you think it is in danger of burning itself out? — Paul T.
I don't think I've ever considered an argument in which a show could achieve greatness too quickly. More and more, network TV is an unforgiving environment, and I think it's fair to say that a show needs to find its feet and its following a lot sooner nowadays. That it took Enterprise three seasons to "evolve" into a more compelling series is not a positive, no matter its predecessors' track record. This season's Xindi conflict has recharged the show's creative batteries. If the show does return next season, I'm hoping this will be the launching pad to even greater adventures. I think it's more the case of the general audience burning out on Trek, and it's up to Enterprise to reverse the trend. Comments?

The weekend edition of Extra (a syndicated infotainment show) ran here earlier today. There's an amusing bit where Scott visits the new Star Trek "ride" in Las Vegas. Nothing earthshaking, but it gets his face out there. The bit is in the second half of the hour show, and they start "previewing" it right away at the half hour mark.
The show may not yet have run in your area. Check local listings.

Remember, Enterprise will be on at 9pm through the month of March. If you don't think this is a wonderful idea (like I don't) check out some of the older posts on this site as to who to contact. At this time we don't know whether Enterprise will return to its 8pm slot when the new episodes come, or whether it will stay in the 9pm slot against The West Wing and what's left of Angel.

Yes the page changed again -- change detection folks, take note! You probably won't get reminders for this page unless you go to ChangeDetection.com yourself and add this page (http://bakulanews.pitas.com) to your notify list. It's easy, but you'll have to figure it out yourself.. sorry.

it should. At times the physical location of the page moves, but if you use the URL www.bakulanews.com you will always get to the most current version of the page (in spite of web crashes, bandwidth overages and all the other messy things that happen.
In fact, go there now :-) Yes there is a reason.

...I needed a new one, and this was all I could come up with that I knew wasn't anyone else's. This is, I think, from Gail E., in April of 2002, and proves that for at least one split second (which I can't remember at all) Scott and I both looked at each other at the same time. And no, I didn't see the color of his eyes.. I was too busy trying to hold on to my train of thought! (which he can derail quite easily, just by looking at me)
Comments?
Probably got that spelling wrong, but for those of you who never heard this story, the mention of Scott is somewhat more than just passive.

Sorry, it's been an insane week at my house -- new job (constantly rewriting my notes!), new laptop (can't find the right keys half the time, plus installing needed stuff takes time -- right now links are not live due to lack of my clipboard extender), computer crashes.. Here are the things you need to know *this week* (And no, I have not dropped to just *weekly* updates)
to encourage our favorite cast and crew is.. well sometime this week. Enterprise will be going on Christmas break soon, and no one will be at work to see your good wishes, so, they are scheduled to land.. I think it's by the 5th. Don't miss the ship! Check out their Project Page for more details (and those dates I can't remember)
http://www.thecaptainschair.com/thankyouproject.htm
More deadlines! It sounds like it's really real this time!!
Project Quantum Leap recently spoke with Deborah Pratt and the Release of Season One is in the planning! They have even contacted Scott regarding it!
What extra's would you like to see on QL DVD's?
Requests for DVD Extras and other goodies are now being taken and more details can be found by visiting http://www.projectquantumleap.com
thanks to Donna Dee for both of the above (and all the hard work in passing our wishes along!), and also to Sharon Major (live links to come when clipboard express gets installed on this machine, but please, don't wait! -- copy and paste!)
The audio/visual, chronological tour of Scott's career continues at http://bakology.bakulagames.com-- I'm not sure what year they are in now, but if you missed anything before Quantum Leap, you want to get there and be prepared to spend some time! Don't miss out! AV files are large and are therefore only posted for a short period of time. If you aren't hooked into the Scott fan base already, here is stuff you may have missed. Maybe even if you are (We haven't reached Romance Romance yet).
Sounds like I'm selling something, doesn't it? But these two women do this all for nothing (they don't even have advertising on the site, and Layla pays for her own server space), to share with the rest of the fans and the newbies! If you like the site, consider dropping them a thank you note!
My continuing thanks to Layla and Helene for this LABOR of love.

Since I don't tend to be that masochistic, I ignored the ratings last year. Having joined the Enterprise Project, I can't do that anymore, so now both UPN and the ratings guy at Media Week are on my hit list.. (just spouting hyperbole, I've never so much as punched anyone..in case you are the FBI). Anyway--this week, Marc Berman at MediaWeek (for those of you who haven't been playing along at home, he is no apparent relation to Rick Berman) had to print this:
With its largest audience and highest ratings since Feb. 2003, Star Trek: Enterprise is beginning to make inroads opposite the WB's Smallville.
Read it for yourself, with the actual numbers if you wish, at Media Week ...before or after you read more of Scott's Interview with Star Trek Monthly at SciFi Pulse (I'd suggest "before")

Sorry for the delay on this one. I tend to avoid screen capture threads... since I've seen the episodes and all.. but a bunch of lost cap searchers at the SBFF last night led me to try to find a direct link.. and it seems Trexx's caps are now living at Trek Pulse.
Apologies to Trexx for taking so long to get that link up. (You don't want to see my "pending file"!)
Comments?
The ratings for North Star are again UP! Yay!! To celebrate, I have to share these screen caps of Twilight from Trexx
they're all of Scott... even if you don't usually "do"
pictures--go. :-)
Over at the WB, and thanks to Smallville (#4: 5.9/ 9), the network remains up year-to-year on Wednesday by considerable proportions. Smallville beat UPN's Star Trek: Enterprise (#6: 4.1/ 6) by 44 percent last night. At 9 p.m., although the frog net's Angel (#5: 4.0/ 6) continues to have a considerable advantage over UPN's competing Jake 2.0 (#6: 2.7/ 4), retention out of Smallville -- 68 percent -- could be better. Retention for Jake 2.0 out of Enterprise was even worse at 66 percent.
worry not--it's better than last week!
also UPN affils in several cities have been noticed running Enterprise contests

Just still floating over Twilight. I didn't get a lot of sleep. Thanks to the two people who emailed me. :-) Don't forget to write to UPN. Ratings are still under the WB, and it's not true that one person can't make a difference. If you think so, go watch the episode again ;-)
Many hugs and kisses to Mike Sussman. You are my hero. (Scott is a foregone conclusion. I wouldn't be doing this if he were not.)

Not having seen it yet, and believe me, that shows great restraint on my part, as a friend has a sat dish and keeps pestering me to watch his copy early, I am anxiously awaiting tonight's ep. For that Best of Season review, you can check out TrekToday.
If, after seeing, you have any comments on the ep (or any specific things about it you liked) that you wish to share, I'd love to hear them! My address is at the bottom of this post.

As noted, a picture of Scott from the Daily Mail.
In keeping with the theory that websites should be accurate, please note that the information noted in the wording underneath the picture is from interviews as old as the 1995 PlayGirl interview.. and other factoids may not be precise. (And people complain about accuracy of websites...sigh..)

"Among the netlets, the WB edged UPN, 3.9 million viewers to 3.5 million. As UPN predicted, Star Trek Enterprise rebounded from a lousy October. Its 3.7 million viewers (103rd place) represented a 42 percent surge from the week before, when the World Series ruled."

I've been disconnecting all night, but let's give this another shot
Helene has posted,on the SBFF, excerpts from an article in the latest Starlog, regarding Scott and his fellow cast members reactions to the reviews and the ratings.
Just read it.
also someone sent me... somewhere.. something good about the ratings. I'll try to dig it up again. If the computer doesn't go sailing out the window in the next five minutes.
I don't have to beg any of you to watch Twilight, right?

Also if I had been reading her hearder, this came from TrekToday.com (from their source, Monica), and if there is a complete interview, you probably want to buy the magazine... right?

from SyFy Portal
Audience Erosion on Enterprise not as bad as Smallville..
While "Smallville" on The WB is beating out "Star Trek: Enterprise" on UPN, one of the things that does jump out at ratings analysts is the fact that an audience erosion continues for "Smallville" while the latest Star Trek series seems to have stabilized.
there's a bit more over there

I saw this recently, can't remember where.. but I probably saved it. This is from KATV.com
Little Rock (AP) - The family of a north Arkansas man who emerged from a 19-year coma could get some financial relief from Hollywood producers interested in telling his story.
ah, here is the elswhere
FILM RIGHTS option to Scott Bakula Productions and Paramount Pictures for the incredible story, “Miracle at Mountain Home, The Terry Wallis Story,” the globally reported and inspiring story of the Arkansas family that kept hope alive for 19 years after their son/brother lay comatose and paralyzed after surviving a deadly (another in the car died) car crash in 1984. This is the tale of one family’s struggle to retain faith in a miracle that came against any reasonable odds two decades later. This is the now infamous story of Terry Wallis.

There's an article in the Courier Press (I'm still looking for a city) which goes into some detail regarding the November sweeps episodes. Unfortunately, either I read the article too fast, or this publication thinks Twilight is airing tonight (it's next week, don't miss it!) So it's your call as to how much spoilerishness you want to read (or skim)
and according to Google, it's the Henderson Ky Gleaner, although it might also be the Evansville Courier.. I'm guessing... Indiana? Illinois?
I'm going to go repair the countdown.. I don't have the right episode listed either...

I can't help it, I'm just seriously tired of that uniform. Plus we have historical confirmation of what Scott removing his shirt can do for the ratings ;-) (plus I'm posting this while reading the article, so the good stuff is last). And also,

Okay. You just don't miss those "y's" till you lose them..
This article at TrekToday, from an interview at Zap2it, has an intriguing quote from Jolene..
The NX-01's commanding officer dreamt up some fantasy situations which involved himself and T'Pol in a state of undress in the decontamination chamber. Blalock said that won't be the last time Archer will be seen without his shirt on.
and from the original article
"It's always fun to have more action, more story line, more reason for doing what we're doing. The characters, especially Scott Bakula's character, Capt. Archer, are going to be more driven."
thanks to TrekToday for the lead, which Google News Alerts apparently hasn't located yet

There is a short article about casting for the episode Carpenter Street at FilmJerk.com Not really any mention of Scott past his name
I'm hoping that the fact that part of the plot sounds as if it was stolen from an episode of Buffy is a good thing. At least it appears to be set on earth, Detroit, circa 2004, which is something I generally like in a Trek episode.

In short, they are down. On the other hand, next week UPN plans to run actual publicity! In the meantime, head back to the phones and the letter writing, or perhaps telling your friends that there seems to be a new trend of Scott taking his shirt off more often ;-) (hey, this is a Scott site, right?)
Actually I liked the ep but that could have been more due to the many closeups of Scott.. I'm not objective. Still, I do like the way the writers are working on keeping the continuity with previous episodes in the arc.
Repercussions from both the transformation into a Lokek and the effects of the lack of shielding on the ship have Archer having nightmares and rashes, and last night I actually found myself involved enough in the episode itself to start talking to the TV. So I'm guessing the "predictability" is gone. Which can only be a good thing.
Comments?
in Starburst 303, it is noted that DK has taken a course in directing and..
Next for Keating is a short film, The Big Hand, which will be based on a story told by Scott Bakula about one of his own kids. "His boy Wil had just learned to tell the time, and it's a wonderful story about a boy who just got his first watch. Keating will drop this hint: "It's a truly beautiful story with an amazing, only-the-kid-could-say-that ending, all about Time and the passage that we all enjoy therein."

First off, no one got the transcript... so we are hoping StarTrek.com will have it up really soon.
Today's chat with Scott, though delayed for at least an hour, also lasted at least an hour, and was one of the best ever (It ranked right up there with the chat at the Palace, promoting I can't remember what, and the first Trek.com chat on Sept. 10).
Wonderful questions ranged from specific episodes to snowboarding and if the official site had the bad luck we all had (I hit a wrong button and wiped out my whole window) I will be heartbroken... (yeah, I'm a staunch believer in Murphy's Law).
btw, the episode tonight was great as well. I'm going to have to watch it again to see just why... I'm hoping it's more than just my being shallow...
Anyway, in response to my question from the last chat, that Marc asked again, about what the fans could do to help promote the show, we got this
Well you know, word-of-mouth is a very big thing. I will say, happpily
that UPN has agreed to go in with Paramount on an advertising campaign for
this next week's episode, which is "Impulse," so there will be more
commercials, print, for next week's show. Which is great. But I believe,
and my experience with Quantum Leap provided this, that the fans make a
difference. And the fans can get the networks' attention by writing in,
by e-mailing, by doing all those things that are available. Of course,
the obvious thing is if you know someone with a Neilsen box, to make sure
that they are tuned in to us. But I think that the fans can make some
noise.
thanks so much to PJ in NH for capturing that part (and did Scott actually use the word "email" in a sentence? wonders will never cease!)
With the competition from Smallville tonight, we need to do whatever we can to offset the voices of those who actually have Neilsen boxes!
extra thanks to Marc, for listening (and selecting a larger variety of questions, and posting that new picture -- that's mentioned in the chat as well) and to Scott for staying so long and being so open to talking to us
Really good questions everyone! Comments?
this worked last time at least...
turn off any pop-up killers you may have running, the chat launches in a new java window. If you have java disabled in your browser, I don't know how to fix that...but if you do, re-enable it.
