Star Trek Voyager’s Robert Picardo In "The Awakened" & Season 2 Of SGU
Voyager’s own EMH, Robert Picardo, is slated to make a guest appearance on the upcoming season of “Stargate Universe”. For those of you who haven’t watched any of the Stargate iterations, Bob is no stranger to the series. He’s played character Richard Woolsey in both SG-1 and Atlantis for 10+ years. We were particularly pleased, when in his second episode on Atlantis, they made (what we choose to believe was) a tribute to The Doctor. At the end of a group meeting scene, nearby automated doors respond for everyone leaving except Woolsey (Picardo), leaving him comically trapped and alone in the conference room. Thanks to whoever came up with that bit. We really enjoyed the throw back to Voyager. No news yet on the episode release date, we’ll keep you posted.

Creation's Chicago Con Roster. Is it Spock's Last?
With the recent announcement of his retirement, Leonard Nimoy has been hitting the convention circuit pretty heavily. Not that we're complaining. We definitely want to see him before he buys a condo and moves to Florida. With the retirement news though, we just assumed that Vegas Khhaaan! was going to be his last show. Apparently not. It looks like the 44th annual Chi-town convention could be our Vulcan friend's last show (maybe). So, if you're looking for a chance to get a photo or autogarph with Mr. Nimoy beyond Vegas, you still have a chance.
