The Movie Draws Near
Each passing day brings us closer to the first ever Frontiers movie. The story is growing and coming together nicely, and there are some big surprises in store for the Enterprise crew. And for our readers as well.
But first, some random musings on other stuff. Stuff like, say, Charmed. I finished all of the DVD's, which means I've seen every episode in the first four seasons. I was blown away at the quality of season four. The transition between Prue and Paige was done quite well given the circumstances. And the subsequent season was just fantastic. Killing the source - three times in fact - and then getting the chance to lose their powers and not taking it. Good stuff. And finally a happy ending for a season, with the revelation of Piper's pregnancy. The one downside to the finale was Bruce Campbell's character being an villain. Campbell is one of my favorite actors pretty much ever, so seeing him go out like that was kind of a bummer. But, I'm primed and ready for season five when it gets here. Bring it on!
I watch TBS quite a bit, and they're gearing up to show Lord of the Rings. They've had quite a few funny commercials in the run-up, but one of the funniest and most disturbing is one focusing on Sam and Frodo, with the song "Secret Lovers" playing in the background. A little disturbing, but it's meant to be a joke and I take it as such. Just a sign of the times, I guess.
Okay, now onto Frontiers business. As I said, the movie is coming together nicely and it should be fantastic. We gave a brief look at it in the closing scenes of our S3 trailer. But we're also releasing a companion trailer alongside the script that is a more traditional trailer. It reveals one big plot detail that we want to keep for a surprise, so we won't release it until the film is released. CG guru Paul "Blaze" Weaver is making sure this trailer will be an improvement over the S3 trailer. A tall order, but I have no doubt he's up to it.
I've opened a new thread in the Frontiers forum where readers can pose any question they like about the movie and I will answer it. It's a chance to get some insight without spoiling too much of the plot.
Also, we've decided to bump the launch of S3 by two months. It will give us more time to get things going - time that we're already deciding how to use. We've got some great stories coming up this season, and we want to make sure they're of the highest quality.
You can also expect things to be a little bit more formal around Frontierland. We're going to implement a more organized ratings system, adhere to release dates by having eps done in advance (and going bi-weekly), and some other things.
Our new website is, for all intents and purposes, ready to go. We have a bug to work out in Internet Explorer but it's not major, it just affects the alignment of certain things. We might just push ahead and release it with the film.
That's it for now, but as we get closer to the movie you can expect more details to emerge. Until then, this is Grimm, signing off.
