I've refrained from commenting on the Comedy nominations, because I don't particularly like many of the shows which were nominated, especially Everybody Loves Raymond. And every Comedy category should have had a Gilmore Girls nominee.

Trek Two Years Ago

These were some of the major news items on September 18, 2000:

• Bill Margol Interview
  Salvador Nogueira interviewed Bill Margol, the executive producer of the Sci-Fi Channel's Original Series special editions.

  "There were never any plans to re-do any of the special effects. It was an idea that was suggested at the very beginning of the project as a possibility, but we knew from the very beginning that the costs of doing that would be prohibitive. Plus we had other concerns with doing something like that. I have a few objections to that concept that I'll get into below. We were more concerned with showing Star Trek in the best light possible, with new digital transfers and audio re-mixes."

  The full interview can still be found here.

• Stan Lee Media Developing 'Gene Roddenberry's Starship'
  Stan Lee Media announced it would be developing the "newly discovered" Roddenberry project 'Starship' into a new internet entertainment franchise. The new project would be "a rich media community with innovative interactive storytelling, themed games, creativity and community tools and e-commerce and participation by a global fan base in the development of the franchise."

• Site Columns
  TrekToday gained its very first editor not named Christian, with Amy Hightower penning her inaugural Hello World!

Corrections

Happy Birthday!

In the September 15 article 'Star Trek Bridge Party Report' it was stated that Andrew Robinson (Garak) said he was "two-thirds of the way finished in writing a book for Simon and Schuster focusing on the character of Damar in a DS9 three-book saga." However, this is in fact not the case. We sincerely apologise for the error.
