It only took…what…a year to make this happen? If there’s one thing about Pookie, it’s that he’s always got at least 4 or 5 things going on at the same time. He’s a multi-tasker, so trying to get him to sit down and concentrate on something like this isn’t the easiest thing in the world. It helped that I narrowed it down to 10 questions, so he was gracious in accommodating me so that I might entertain you. After all, there’s something to be said about the man behind the author…besides “harder” and “faster!” You know, while taking dictation.

This was first published on Modamag.Com in 2002.  My kind thanx to the owner of the site for letting me putting it on my own site now.

Part 1 was posted yesterday.

And now, the exciting conclusion of an interview with director Tommy Lee Wallace:

In celebration of the upcoming Halloween holiday, I thought I’d dig up this interview about a director who’s responsible for some wonderfully scary ass movies!  Welcome back to 2002:

Continued From Part 1.

KA: There was a rumor at one time that Saavik might be pregnant with Spock’s child, especially since she went through Pon farr (Ed. Note:the time in a male Vulcan’s life when he is driven to mate) with him.  Was that ever toyed with?

This interview was conducted on 2-02-2003 and first published on Modamag.com.

I had the pleasure of meeting Robin twice after this interview, once at DragonCon in Atlanta and the second time at the MotorCity Comicon here in Novi.  She’s absolutely delightful!  I can also say that my conversation with her has stayed with me long since.  My only regret is not staying in better touch with her.  In any case, here is Part 1 for your enjoyment.

Note: I did a little poking around on Facebook today and it looks like Pat does have a Babylon 5 Scrapbook that she’s releasing on August 17, 2001.  Not sure about anyone else, but I’m definitely looking forward to getting my hands on a copy!  Anyone interested can order it here.

Now, onto the second part of the interview:

KA: With your work in musicals, are you planning on ever coming out with your own CD like fellow Babylon 5 alumni Claudia Christian?
PT: No.  No.  I don’t have that great a voice.  My friend Robin Atkin Downes, who was also on Babylon 5 and played my boyfriend…

KA: The one you were naked with in Season 5!

Yes, it’s true that Patricia Tallman married Jeffrey Willerth, the man behind the mask of Ambassador Kosh of the Vorlon Empire, but there’s no alien funny business going on there.  No sir or ma’am.  And while Pat will more often than not be recognized as having played tough uber-telepath Lyta Alexander on Babylon 5, her other roles genre related or otherwise have helped to round out an impressive resume.  Does a resume really tell you everything about a person, though?  No, especially in this case.

One thing I’ll mention before getting to the meat of this post is that in discussion with Garrett since 2004, he’s been toying with the idea of writing a book about his experiences on Voyager.  Nobody else from the cast has done that yet and with renewed interest in Trek following the reboot, he’s got a built-in audience.  So, if you happen to run into him at a convention, let him know you’re interested.

Now, onto Part 2 of the interview!

I was watching a DVD release of Star Trek: Voyager with a friend of mine back in 2004 and, at some point, I looked over at her and said “I should interview Garrett Wang.” You see, I was writing for an online magazine at the time called Modamag doing film reviews, music reviews and the occasional interview.  Anyway, my friend looked over at me and casually dropped a “There’s no way you could interview him.”

I hate that.

I really hate that.

It’s the end of the year and we’ve experienced so much worth noting; economies rising and falling, politicians’ libidos rising and falling, Lindsay Lohan serving not nearly enough jail time, Paris Hilton putting something in her mouth not already attached to a male, Prince William getting engaged and, of course, Mark Zuckerberg making TIME Magazine’s Man of the Year instead of Privacy Information Leaker of the Year.  It reads like MTV took over the world’s news channels.  Didn’t they used to play music?

Fortunately, we still have this…

So welcome to:
