FilmForce » Features » story The Trek Report: Blalock Blasts BermanThe Forge is hot in a lot of ways Blalock Blasts Berman:Enterprise star Jolene Blalock blasted the producers of her series in a scathing interview for the British SF magazine, SFX. "You can't substitute tits and ass for good storytelling," she told the magazine. "You can have both, but you can't substitute one for the other, because the audience is not stupid. You can't just throw in frivolous, uncharacteristic... well, bull and think it's gonna help the ratings!"When asked about her thoughts on the continuation of the series and why someone like new producer Manny Coto wasn't brought in earlier, Blalock fired another verbal salvo."You have this head guy who's some kind of ancient old croaker with no concept of the real world outside, with his fine wine and his, er, crumpets. And what are ya gonna tell them? 'Give it up'? 'Go home, be with your wife, go play golf'? No ? then ya got no job! A powerful job is your identity. Give that up, and who are you? What the hell are you gonna do with all that time? You can't tell people what to do anymore!"This follows a bizarre appearance by Blalock on an American talk show a couple of weeks ago. The SFX Magazine with the Blalock interview hits the stands November 24th.
It's Enterprise's Last SeasonOr so says the ship's first officer.November 22, 2004 - Jolene Blalock, who plays the Vulcan officer T'Pol on Star Trek: Enterprise is seriously unhappy with the incompetence of the show's producers. The actress takes her role as a Vulcan very seriously, and in an excerpt from SFX Magazine posted at Trekweb, Jolene said she expects the show's problems to hasten its demise at the end of the current season."I think this will be our last season. I do. You can feel it. And after this show is over it's gonna be the first time in 17 years that Star Trek isn't on television. I don't know how people feel about that, but I know I'm affected by that thought. But I'd rather let it go than let it die a slow death. It deserves the respect it's due, and if we can't do that... then let it go."For her part, many of Jolene's frustrations lie with both the discontinuities introduced by the writers and the fact that she is not always allowed to act like a Vulcan in the show. "You can't take T'Pol and say 'Okay, you're a Vulcan' and take away the Vulcan characteristics. You might as well clip the ears! For example: eating food with their hands ? they don't do that! And yet they'll throw in episodes where she's eating popcorn, and I'll say, 'Can I use a napkin?'"'No, use your hands!'"The show's problems continue to affect viewership as well. This season's most-watched episode, "The Augments" from last week, reached about 3.4 million viewers, only a quarter of the numbers that the series premiere drew, and lower than any previous Star Trek series.Does the future of Star Trek lie in more movies rather than television? We'll watch and let you know!-- Paul Davidson
I like Blalock. Saw her on one of the late night shows, Letterman or Leno, just before the election. She was talking about her photoshoot in Maxim or some other magazine. The host stated that he had been told that it was a political issue. Blalock responded that, "Yes it is political. There's alot of "BUSH" in there".I laughed my arse off.
Isn't there a rumor that another series or movie is in the works. Paramount has made to much money with the franchise to just throw it out the door. My fingers are crossed that this isn't just a rumor.
Aw, c'mon, J.! Don't the events leading up to the founding of the UFP sound cool? Imagine all the (nifty) stories they could come up with for the duplicitous Vulcans, hotheaded Andorians, malodorous Klingons, and totally mysterious Romulans? Sounds like good stew to me!
Warped Roms? (Don't leave them in the sun!)That does seem eminently fixable- Coto may have some master woodworking device to join the irregular pieces.
