Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home. (0 comments | Add)

Speaking today in a new interview with StarTrek.com, actor John Billingsley says the upcoming ninth episode of the season will reveal even more about 'Doctor Phlox' than last night's "A Night In Sickbay."

In "Singularity" the Doctor's unusual penchant for medical experimentation takes a turn for the somewhat gruesome. "What if everyone's worst tendencies are amped up to the max," he posed rhetorically while describing the episode. "My tendency is to rather cheerfully and blithely go on with whatever medical experimentation that might interest me. This is where I'm prepared to open up Mayweather's skull, because he has a headache and I'm curious to find out where it might be stemming from. [Phlox] is extremely cheerful in his willingness to commit a lobotomy on one of the crew."

Billingsley also says episode ten, "Vanishing Point," will give his character ample screen time. "Hoshi has to be transported from the surface of a planet where storms are raging and she's afraid her molecules are breaking up. It does seem as if her crew members are suddenly not able to see her and she can't get through doors."

The interview veers into the actor's Seattle theater background as well as the makeup process for ENTERPRISE. He says the artists who bring Phlox to life deserve recognization. "The hair folks won [this year]," he said. "The makeup people should have won, but what are you going to do? Maybe next year. It's tough, I'm sure, on the technical side for those guys because the show's been on in one incarnation or another for so many years, I think they get taken for granted. It's hard to look at what they do with a fresh pair of eyes. They are incredibly talented people and they do wonderful stuff. But you've seen Star Trek for such a long time, and if you are a not necessarily an aficionado, I think it's kind of difficult to get over the 'Oh yeah, there that is again.'"
