Hello World!

'Inspector Gadget 2' is filming in Brisbane! At my university! Obviously, they waited until the end of semester to start filming, because they didn't want groups of gawking students hanging around. The main building, a beautiful sandstone structure, is doubling as the Riverton police station. It'll be cool to see the film (even though it won't be a patch on the cartoon series) just to catch a glimpse of locations around the city.

Trek Two Years Ago

These were some of the major news items on November 30, 1999:

• Pittsburgh Paper Interviews Braga
  Voyager executive producer Brannon Braga talked about his plans for Series V. "It's very different, but it captures the essence of 'Star Trek,'" he said. "We both feel we have to recapture the excitement of the original series, and at the same time push 'Star Trek' forward a little bit in terms of tone and storytelling so that its not just another 'Star Trek.'" The new series turned out to be Enterprise, which has just ended its first set of first-run episodes.

• Trek 3rd In AOL Poll In an AOL poll to find the 'Best TV Show of the 20th Century,' Star Trek scored 3rd place, behind The Simpsons and M*A*S*H.
