''Enterprise''
Well, I finally remembered to turn on the TV in time to catch most of
"Enterprise" last night (Jan 23, "Dear Doctor"). Having been without a
TV for 6 months (@#$%!^ satellite dishes -- when they're good, they're
great, otherwise they suck enrons), remembering to even bother to find
the remote control is a hard habit to get back into. And sure enough,
the #$%! dish @#$%ed up the first few minutes, so I missed the opening
theme, so still don't know if it's the same as the opening for the
original episode, but that from the two-hour intro was one of the most
inspiring and hard-hitting -- heart-breaking, almost, for this life long
space dreamer who is watching NASA and our real hopes for space crash and
burn -- montage since the 1960s political demonstrations.
Some twit who apparently does nothing else with his life except glue his
eyeballs to the idiot box and thinks sitcoms are intellectually
stimulating dismissed it with a sneer of "P.C." (I have yet to hear
anyone call something "P.C." who actually has a clue what it means, much
less can draw the line between the rightwingnut's straw-man bullshit and
common sense, so it's not surprising that vidiots would try to conceal
the fact that they don't understand something by whining that it's
"P.C.").
I was surprisingly engaged by the complexity and conflicts crammed into a
one-hour stand-alone episode. This was Old Trek at its very best, with
not just a problem to be solved, but a moral and ethical dilemma that,
truly, has no good solution. I never managed to sit through more than a
few of the Next Generations and all their various commercial-grabbing
spinoffs, so I don't know if any of them ever managed a plot, though it
didn't seem likely from the techie-nerd special-effects showing-off that
seemed to be their only reason for taking up videotape. But by going
back to its "roots," as it were, this one episode, at least, managed to
live up to Gene Roddenberry's purpose, which was decidedly NOT "Wagon
Train to the Stars" (which he was forced to sell it as to the zombified
scum that dominated the media even back then).
There was even a hint of the rationale for what would someday become
(in)famous as the Prime Directive ("thou shalt not interfere," a law made
to be broken by Kirk with almost as much regularity as a female guest
star was introduced to go to bed with him), when Archer realizes that
their purpose "out there" is "not to play God."
What kind of society WOULD develop if two separate but nearly equal
species developed concurrently? (By sheer coincidence, the Nova running
opposite Enterprise, which fortunately times its commercials differently,
was discussing the possibility that Neanderthals might have been able to
cross-breed with our species, and the novel currently running in Analog
is addressing a parallel Earth where the Neanderthals became the dominant
species and our kind died out.) Remembering the kind of horrors in our
own history triggered by the difference of a few grams of melanin in the
skin, what attitudes did the "superior" and "inferior" species have
towards one another? (Remember too that Neanderthal brains were larger
than ours, and their physical strength overwhelmingly greater. Were
they, in fact, the dominant species of our Earth, wiped out by the same
kind of genetic code failure that threatened the "superior" species on
the planet the Enterprise found?)
Few of us would have any trouble telling even a doomed species that no,
you can't have anti-matter technology, because you're just as likely to
blow yourselves up. The screeching paranoia of the stupids of our own
day and planet over "nuke-you-lar" stuff is all the example you need of
what one small band of madmen (including the Evil Bush Cabal) could, and
most likely would, do, to "protect themselves" against a total-conversion
weapon. And all gods know there's been enough written on the subject of
what we would do with practical immortality to send Einstein and Hawking
into a dark corner to gibber together, and that's a fairly simple
proposition ethically, because if you withhold it, then so what? The
species goes on as it always has. But if an entire sentient species is
facing extinction -- cruel, painful, fairly sudden extinction, and having
to watch and be aware of its coming, and you alone, in your own hands and
mind, hold the power to save an entire world.....
There are people on our world dedicated enough to believe that the human
race does not deserve to destroy other species for its own comfort.
There are also crazed idiots on our world insane enough to murder doctors
in order to "save" fertilized cells. What would you do if you, and you
alone, had the power, the expertise, the serum in your hands, to save one
set of beings -- at the possible expense of ALL of the others?
I still don't quite buy Bakula as a starship captain, much less the
captain of a first-of-its-kind, all-alone-out-there untried warp vessel.
He doesn't have the sheer force of personality one would need to lead
where no one has gone before. His character did, however, in this
episode at least, demonstrate a depth of perception that I wouldn't have
believed the actor capable of portraying. (And I don't like the
uniforms, either. Even some of our own service uniforms are more
flattering than THAT.)
I don't like, believe, or have any use whatsoever for the fake Vulcan
bitch. She demonstrates none of the admirable characteristics we've come
to expect of Vulcans -- intelligence, rationality, insight if not
empathy, the ability to interface with others tempered only by a lifted
eyebrow. And having her wear a stupid looking uniform so different from
everyone else's just to show off her implants and wired underlift is
strangling credibility by the neck. Uhura showed off her assets without
having to try to make herself stand out, and she did her job without
walking around sway-backed like a fifteen-year-old sticking out her first
bumps. Miss So Superior comes across with a sneering arrogance and
outright xenophobic bigotry that would have gotten her spaced on Kirk's
ship, and if she's shown any special skills making it worth keeping her
around I'd like to know about it. (Nor do I buy the premise that the
Vulcans found Earth and the warp drive first. The Vulcans of Original
Trek were highly intelligent and scientifically oriented but showed
little bent for exploring or taking chances. The Vulcans of this first
contact act more like spoiled brat royalty who've had everything handed
to them.)
Phlox as the first-person narrator, though, was delightful. Kinda hard
to believe that a family group that consists of three adult males and
three adult females would be shy about physical contact, but the
open-minded lack of embarrassment about flirting with someone who evolved
in a different sea is refreshing. The Superman comics never addressed
the problem that Kryptonians and humans couldn't possibly have the same
biophysiological signals, except in Larry Niven's hilarious short story
("Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex"), but those few scenes of attempts at
straightforward communication (and the polyglot communications specialist
is great, too) handled the issue with a humor and seriousness that both
hit home perfectly. Better than a lot of human pairs today can do over
coffee. And you have to be a damn good actor to convey amused
astonishment through eight pounds of plastic makeup.
One episode isn't enough to judge by, and maybe some of the others have
been wretched. Ghu knows some of the original Trek should have been
buried in a mohole and never mentioned again, not even as a bad example.
But if this is an example of the writing and cogitating that Enterprise
can call on, there may be hope yet for science fiction to rise again in
general popularity (and spare me the Star Wars trash), which means that
there may be hope for the human race to start thinking beyond next
quarter's profits again, too. Which we desperately need, because right
now all our eggs are in one very small basket on the galactic scale, and
while the illiterate Dumbshit illegally squatting on the red button is
living in a fantasy world where Bruce Willis and Company are actually
standing by to protect us from an asteroid strike and therefore the only
thing he has to spend money on is paybacks to his multi-millionaire
butt-buddies, the most stupid and the most psychotic right now and this
minute could put our entire species on the fast track to extinction
against which all our much-vaunted power would be too little, too late.
And even if there were a warp vessel of alines out there able to save us,
the question is -- would they?

Last Night
With all the reruns seemed like a good night to change the fish water.
Did catch part of 'The Tick', and rather wish it would have been renewed. Think that with a consistent schedule
this show could have made it.
Watched part of 'P.I'. Victoria Jackson, for a woman who got her start doing head stands in a dress, is horrifically judgmental.
Tonight, Friday, CBS starts the evening with a rerun of 'King of Queens'. It is followed by fresh
episodes of 'Ellen', 'First Monday' and '48 Hours'.
NBC is all fresh with 'Providence', 'Dateline' & 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'.
ABC has a fresh? 'America's ''Funniest'' Videos', a rerun 'Best Commercials', and then
'20/20'.
The WB is all fresh, with 'Sabrina', 'Raising Dad', 'Reba', and 'Maybe It's Me'.
Faux has a fresh 'The Chamber', and the weekly repeat of '24'.
UPN has a movie, 'The Net'.
AMC gets a little campy tonight with the original 'Batman' movie from 1966, with Adam West. It's followed by
'Elephant Man' (insert your own 'I'm a Mawhn' impersonation here).
TCM has a couple of Doris Day movies ('On Moonlight Bay', 'Love Me Or Leave Me'), and one of
the great artsy-fartsy French movies, 'Breathless' with Jean-Paul Belmondo.
IFC has 'Crumb' on again (a fabulous biography of R. Crumb), in case you have missed it.
Anyone have any opinions?
Or reviews?

New European Tour Announced
'Liza's Back!'
Showbusiness legend Liza Minnelli, bouncing back from illness and heading into marriage number four, said on Thursday
she was convinced her mother Judy Garland was watching over her as a guardian angel.
The 55-year-old star even burst into song with a brief chorus from ``Cabaret'' as she hugged impresario David Gest,
who is producing Minnelli's new stage show and marrying her in New York in March.
Elizabeth Taylor is to be maid of honor and Michael Jackson the best man for the showbusiness wedding of the year.
The Hollywood star, whose father was film director Vincente Minnelli, told a London news conference: ``I am a thoroughbred,
literally a thoroughbred. It's an inner strength that my parents gave me, especially my mother.''
Gest said: ``A year ago she could not walk, she could not talk. They said she would never sing and she was in a wheelchair.
She lost 90 pounds. How many of you could get through that and a year later be standing here looking as fabulous as this woman?''
Minnelli met Gest 15 years ago at Frank Sinatra's house. They got together again when she was appearing in a Michael Jackson
special to mark the 30th career anniversary of ``The King of Pop.''
After three marriages -- to Australian singer Peter Allen, filmmaker Jack Haley Jnr and sculptor Mark Gero -- she had been
single for the last 10 years and vowed never to marry again.

Time To Visit 'Graceland'?
Elvis Presley
Inspired by the wildly successful, 8-million-selling Beatles "1," RCA Records plans to unveil a disc with
30 chart-topping Elvis Presley songs as part of a marketing campaign to reach 15-to-24 year olds. Last year Elvis
sold an anemic 1.4 million albums - from his entire catalog.
RCA is planning a worldwide push to keep the King's blue suede shoes in step with today's times, teaming up
with a number of international brands to keep Elvis' name in the spotlight.
But selling Elvis - who'd have been 67 yesterday - to teens may be a more difficult task than anyone realizes. Tourism to
Graceland, which his wife Priscilla opened to the public in 1982, dropped 15 percent last year.
The Memphis-based wonderland even laid off 15 percent of its staff, leaving about 50 folks singing the blues.

Connie Chung acknowledges there was a fierce competition among the high-profile news women of ABC - Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters and her.
"That's the way the business is today," Chung said yesterday as CNN officially welcomed her to the cable-news network in
a press conference.
Chung's still-unnamed prime-time show, launching in the spring, will air at 8 p.m. weekdays in the slot formerly occupied
by Greta Van Susteren, who's now at Fox News Channel.
She will be in direct competition with Bill O'Reilly on FNC and Brian Williams on MSNBC.
"This is a great opportunity to take an hour of prime time . . . and to do what CNN does best - bring news to the viewer
immediately and with depth," Chung said.

Haven For Compassionate Conservatives?
'Promises' Not Enough?
Durango, best known as the dusty backdrop for Hollywood westerns, has a new Betty Ford-style clinic and hopes
to offer celebrities a refuge from paparazzi amid the same secluded, mountain desertscape that has lured filmmakers
to the Mexican state for decades.
President Vicente Fox's wife, Martha Sahagun, christened Mision Korian on Wednesday. It is a privately funded,
$2 million walled compound at the end of a dusty road outside this village of adobe homes where chickens meander,
pecking at the dirt. The state donated the land.
The drug and alcohol treatment center, which will eventually house 42 patients, will charge a maximum $3,000 for
five weeks of treatment, but fees for locals will be as low as $100, depending on income.
The center's spokesman, K.B. Forbes, plans to market the clinic to Hollywood studios, agents and Beverly Hills doctors.
``This offers an intimate setting and privacy for people who want to get away and not have the National Enquirer
snooping around,'' said Forbes, a former spokesman for presidential candidates Steve Forbes and Pat Buchanan. He is not
related to his billionaire former boss.

Warrant Issued
Carlene Carter
A judge issued an arrest warrant for country singer Carlene Carter after she failed to show up for arraignment
last month on a felony drug charge.
Last June, state police patrolling Interstate 25 in Albuquerque pulled over Carter and her companion, Howie
Epstein, bass player for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
State police said the pair were speeding, and that officers found 2.9 grams of black tar heroin and drug
paraphernalia inside the sport-utility vehicle, reported stolen from a Santa Fe car dealership.
A criminal complaint said Carter ``claimed the paraphernalia and heroin found in the vehicle belonged to her,
and was used for personal use.''
Epstein was not charged in the case, the district attorney's office said.
Carter is the stepdaughter of Johnny Cash and daughter of June Carter Cash and country singer Carl Smith.

Britney Spears says Prince William stood her up after she arranged a rendezvous with him by e-mail.
Spears revealed the snub to British comic Frank Skinner during a television show, recorded last week while she
was in Britain to promote her latest single ``Overprotected.''
The 20-year-old singer said she and the 19-year-old prince, who is second in line to Britain's throne, had been
exchanging e-mails, but she denied rumors of a cyber romance.
``Yeah, it was just like, all blown out of proportion - we exchanged e-mails for a little bit and he was supposed
to come and see me somewhere but it didn't work out,'' Spears replied.
``You were blown out by Prince William?'' Skinner asked, to which Spears replied: ``Yeah.'' She said she had no
idea why the prince changed his mind about meeting.

Another Step-Stooler?
Brian Haig
``Windtalkers'' screenwriters John Rice and Joe Batteer are back in business with Nicolas Cage on ``Secret Sanction,''
the first novel by Brian Haig, son of former Secretary of State Alexander Haig.
Intermedia Films has optioned the novel, the first of six installments of a series for Warner Books, and intends to turn
''Secret Sanction'' into a multi-picture franchise that will star Cage. The actor will also produce with his Saturn Films
partner Norm Golightly.
``Secret Sanction'' is part of a seven-figure, two-picture deal scribes Rice and Batteer have signed with Intermedia and
sister company IMF-backed Pacifica, for whom they will write ``Lion of the Sun,'' an epic about the building of the Sphinx.
Both deals came off Intermedia reaction to the duo's script ``Abyssinia,'' a love story set against Mussolini's invasion
of Ethiopia, which is out to directors. Also seeking a director is their rewrite of the New Regency drama ``The Last Samurai,''
a about the eradication of samurai in the 19th century.
Cage and Golightly had already been working with Intermedia to tie down the novels by Haig -- a 22-year career infantry
officer and high-level military stragegist -- and enlisted the scribes.

and "Saving Ryan's Privates" - but it could take a lesson from Joaquin Phoenix, who's starring in "Buffalo Soldiers" due

Schamus. "He's got a porn name for every single movie he's done."

Big Dog Watch
Bill In NYC
Muslim scholars blamed the United States for what they called its unquestioning support of Israel and failure
to promote democracy in the Islamic world at a forum Thursday hosted by former President Clinton.
Clinton defended his administration's policies in the Mideast, though he conceded in discussion with Muqtedar Khan,
of Adrian College in Michigan, that America hasn't done enough to support democracy.
"I agree with you. I didn't do as good a job as I should. But I couldn't figure out how to do it," he said. "Tell us how to do it."
Attended by about 200 invited guests, the daylong conference was the first public event held by the Clinton Presidential
Foundation. Other sponsors were the New York University School of Law, which hosted the meeting, and the Muslim-Christian
relations center at Georgetown University, Clinton's alma mater.
Clinton offered no criticism of Bush administration foreign policy, though he said long-term solutions require "more than
military and law enforcement efforts." He also bypassed the opportunity to join Muslim speakers in attacking U.S. domestic security measures.

Colorado neighbors of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell say the two are trying to connive their way out of thousands
of dollars in property tax. Folks in Pitkin County were miffed when they found out last week that Hawn and Russell
had their 40-acre spread reclassified for tax purposes as "agricultural" by raising "a tiny bit of hay" on the land,
reports the Denver Post. The couple are now asking for a tax refund of $38,000. The county commissioner called the
move "backward" and said the place was "clearly a luxury residence."

Jack Welch
Months after retiring as chairman and CEO of General Electric Corp., Jack Welch fans who didn't get enough of the
corporate titan from his recent book will now be able to get more straight from the ``gut'' commentary as he heads to television.
Starting Feb. 7, Welch will appear on CNBC's flagship morning market show ``Squawk Box'' once every quarter as a
guest host, joining the program's regular team of Mark Haines, Maria Bartiromo, Marci Rossell, David Faber and Joe Kernen.
He also will be a frequent contributor to ``Business Center with Ron Insana and Sue Herera,'' the cable network's
signature evening business news program.
Welch spent four decades at General Electric, one of the world's biggest electronics and manufacturing companies,
including 20 years as chairman and CEO while the company ventured into broadcasting with its purchase of NBC in
the 1980s and subsequent development of the MSNBC and CNBC cable networks.
Near the end of his tenure, Welch was drawn into a controversy over NBC's 2000 election night coverage amid
allegations, denied by the network, that Welch, a Republican supporter, leaned on news executives to call the
presidential race in favor of George W. Bush.

whether the security guard didn't recognize her, or was simply following orders. "I work for NBC," she explained.
"Well, where's your ID?" the guard demanded. Couric had to wait until someone could vouch for her.

Things That Make You Shake Your Head
Voodoo Todo
Josephine Gray had a different style of cooking - one that involved a collection of powders, roots,
and teas she kept hidden in her bedroom.
"She's an evil witch-doer. She has a long history of witchcraft," said Lenron Goode Jr. His brother Clarence Goode, a
boyfriend of Gray's, was found shot and stuffed in a trunk.
Authorities allege Gray enticed lovers to kill Goode and two husbands in order to collect thousands of dollars in insurance
money, and used threats of voodoo to keep witnesses quiet.
Previous charges had been dropped against Gray in two of the deaths after key witnesses disappeared.
According to court documents, Gray enlisted the help of each successive husband and boyfriend to commit murder on her
behalf, first in 1974, then in 1990 and 1996. The second and third victims were suspected of killing the husbands
who came before them.
Voodoo dolls of her dead lovers festooned with needles were found by authorities, prosecutors said. And a police wiretap
of Gray recorded her allegedly casting spells on investigators.
"Fear permeated this case," said Thomas Tamm, a former Montgomery prosecutor who tried to bring Gray to trial in 1991.
