News from Bajor

STARDATE 9806.5

Greetings once again. What's new in sci-fi? Ever wonder? This issue's big news, Chase Masterson (Leeta) hosts Sci-Fi Entertainment, only on the Sci-Fi Channel. This news show, named after the Sci-Fi Channel's magazine, premiered Friday, May 1 and covered movie news from Lost in Space and Godzilla, news about Dax leaving DS9, a technology report, and more info than one might expect. It's definitely worth taking a half of an Earth hour out of your week to watch it. Currently it airs on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. EST with an encore showing at 3:00 a.m. that night.

In less notable news Philip Anglim (Vedek Bareil), who recently made his first convention appearance on February 7 in Hagerstown, Maryland, could be seen portraying Peter Ellington in Dallas: War of the Ewings on April 24. I personally did not see it and I have yet to find anyone who has.

For this month's term I've decided that, due to the vast amounts of info on Bajor, a monthly list of terms might be more appropriate. This month's list is "Things Unique to Bajor and it's People."
