This one looks like it might be fairly interesting:

The blue-skinned Andorians, led by Shran (returning guest star Jeffrey Combs), will appear in the Jan. 21 episode of UPN's Star Trek: Enterprise, "Proving Ground." The Andorian warship will track Enterprise down in the Delphic Expanse to help Capt. Archer (Scott Bakula) track down the Xindi's superweapon.

Sorry Sindatur but I'm now used to "Trek by rote".

I'm still hoping for better and I ask the shows producers to surprize me every now & again. There have been a couple of decent episodes this season but the rest is dren imho.

On another topic: Happy New Year
And a fine new year it might be for SF fans.

First and foremost is the Farscape mini-series currently filming in Oz. Although Henson has yet to make the "official" announcement (because of the lack of a broadcast deal) things are moving along with a possible fall release rumor has it?
Reguardless of the airing date speculation is running wild (wishfull thinking to be sure) that the new mini, while wrapping up some of the story arc threads, would not be sufficient with only 4 hours to cover everything left untold thus leading to the belief that it may in fact be a "pilot" for the new network and lead to the continuation of the series for another season or more?
Some online media type people in the biz think that, even though it's an open secret that the mini is filming, the real reason Henson has yet to comment is because negotiations are still underway between the (unsaid) new network and the principle actors: Ben Browder (John Crichton), Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun), Anthony Simcoe (Ka D'ardo), Gigi Edgley (Chiana), Wayne Pygram (Scorpius), Raelee Hill (Sikozu), Melissa Jaffer (Noranti), Lani John Tupu (Crais and voice of Pilot) David Franklin (Braca), Rebecca Riggs (Mele-On-Grayza) and "possibles" Tammy MacIntosh (Jool), Paul Goddard (Stark) and Virginia Hey (P'au Zotoh Zhann) et al and until all the "T"'s are crossed and the "I"'s dotted Henson is holding back on the announcement.

Firefly the Movie.
Joss Whedon is currently working on the shooting script (screenplay) and has a commitment from Universal Studio's (a unit of NBC/Vivendi/Universal) to proceed with this project but as of this date nothing is set in stone.
Joss has commented:http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/art-main.html?2003-12/23/11.00.film
about the possible future of the Firefly franchise.

As noted elsewhere JMS is working on a new Babylon-5 project which has been green lit but few details are currently available and JMS ain't talking except for the hint.
Stay tuned.

Hi Zim,

Yea, I wasn't holding too much stock in the Enterprise episode above being fantastic, but, it looked like it might be one of the "Not awful ones".

So, Farscape rumors are persisting that it may be a pilot for a new Network, that's be cool to see it started back up.

B5, weren't we told by JMS that the offical word should come to us mid to end of January, I think, wow, can't wait.
