Star Trek Online and Other Trekkie News

Well, Paramount found someone to bit on trying to create a Star Trek Online game. I know how it will fly, because I think everyone will want to be the "Captain".

In other news, they have been filming on season 4 of Enterprise. They have Brent Spiner, playing an ancestor of Dr. Soong. They have Alec Newman(Paul Atredies from the SciFi Dune Series) playing a one of the creations of this doctor Soong. Also the guy who played Martok is returning to play an unnamed Klingon Captain for an episode involving the Klingons and the Orions. Yes, friends we have the Orions showing up. You will get to an Orion female and for the first time an Orion male. Spyke will know who this is even if I dont, but the Orion male will be played by Paul "The Big Show" Wright of WWE.

Probably one of the neatest pieces is that one of the Original Series stunt actors has been given a job for a couple of the episodes as an extra in one of the Orion Markets. Vincent Deadrick, who played in such episodes as Balance of Terror and other classics.

New episodes are scheduled to air at the end of October.

Yeah, The Big Show aka Paul Wight, not Wright (previously known as The Giant in WCW) is one very large individual.

He's 7'4" and around 500lbs and is pretty much a monster.

For those that saw Waterboy, he played Captain Insano.
