Hello World!

I must have seen about six episodes of Boston Public season two by now (they've been shown in double-bills), and I'm finding it very hard to take Jeri Ryan seriously.

She's a good actress, but each time she appears on screen I just see Seven strolling the halls of the school. I keep expecting her to walk into the principal's office and confess her guilt for killing so many people as a Borg...

This season doesn't seem to have gotten off to a very good start generally. Too much focus has been placed on Kathy Baker's character to the detriment of the some regular cast members, who haven't really had a chance to do much. Although I don't particularly like her character very much, I do admire Baker's ability to deliver some of the wackier lines with a straight face.

Trek Two Years Ago

These were some of the major news items on October 25, 2000:

• Kenneth Biller Promoted To Executive Producer
  Trade paper Variety reported that longtime Voyager scribe Kenneth Biller had been promoted to executive producer for the show's seventh and final season. The article also mentioned that the contract included a multi-year development deal with Paramount.

• New 'Lineage' Info

  Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres reach a crossroads in their relationship which could have long-ranging effects on both of their lives. Early in her life, B'Elanna and her father joined his family on a camping trip where something happened — something that could result in B'Ellana making an irrevocable decision against Tom's will that no amount of technology can rectify.

• Review: Drive
  Edward Hines awarded the 'Tom and B'Elanna finally tie the knot' episode three stars.
