In brief comments to syndicated columnists Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith, Patrick Stewart echoed praise for STAR TREK X's screenwriter, John Logan, saying "We have a non-STAR TREK writer for the first time -- a fan, who is also a wonderful, distinguished writer and Academy Award nominee for GLADIATOR, John Logan. He knows more about NEXT GENERATION than any of us. In script meetings, he'd say things like, 'You can't do that, because in episode 87 you said thus and so.' Amazing."
Meanwhile, at Sci-Fi Wire, a Whoopi Goldberg sighting made the news:
"Whoopi Goldberg, who played the mysterious Guinan in Star Trek: The Next Generation, was spotted this week on the Paramount lot, where filming of the 10th Trek movie, Nemesis, is taking place, a source told SCI FI Wire. It's unclear whether Goldberg will appear in the film, which also marks the return of TNG character Wesley Crusher, played by Wil Wheaton."
