Andorians Are Blalock's Favourite Aliens

Vulcans and Andorians may be at each other's throats in the Enterprise universe, but T'Pol actress Jolene Blalock can't get enough of the blue-skinned aliens.

"My favorite aliens are Andorians," Blalock told the Sci-Fi Wire during UPN's Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena. "Those little antennas!"

Blalock was equally enthusiastic about Jeffrey Combs, who will reprise the role of Shran in the upcoming 'Shadows of P'Jem'.

"Jeffrey Combs. I love him!" the actress said. "He's walking around in that little thong with his little antennas, and he's loving it! And he's all blue. We loved him. I saw his number up on the makeup trailer, so I'm sure he'll be coming back."

Speaking of love, the Enterprise set has become a hotbed of romance in recent weeks - at least in the minds of the crew.

"I remember Scott [Bakula] and I were filming a scene in one of the new episodes that are going to be airing," Blalock recalled. "And we call it the Love Shack scene, because we're tied up back-to-back. We've got to work our way stomach-to-stomach. And the gag is, we fall down. And obviously we can't move. The entire crew, once we fell down during rehearsal, put on 'Love Shack' from B-52s. And everybody's gathering around, going, 'Love Shack!' And we can't move, because we're tied together. We're going, 'That's really nice, you know?'"

The original interview with Blalock can be found here at the Sci-Fi Wire.
