‘Prometheus’ sequel hires a new writer | EW.com ›
It’s been almost exactly one year since the Alien pseudo-prequel Prometheus fascinated and infuriated audiences with its mixture of gorgeous visuals and confusing character decisions….
Reblogging for this gem:
Although the film set up a sequel, there hasn’t been much news, besides the revelation that screenwriter Damon Lindelof would not be returning — possibly because he’d like to spend just one summer not reading a nonstop parade of nerd-rage tweets.
“Dog Eat Dog” is a short film based on the true story of how actor/producer Zachary Quinto finally adopted his first dog in a Los Angeles Animal Shelter. During the events of his hilarious trials in attempting to adopt a shelter animal, Sian Heder, the film’s director was there by his side. Taking notes. [x]

one of my favourite episodes of Star Trek is the Turnabout Intruder, for various reasons. I love how even in Lesters body Kirk is recognizably Kirk, and the other way round with Lester in Kirk’s
and as far as shipping goes, it’s also a little goldmine. I keep hearing how, if either Kirk or Spock were a woman nobody would question them being obviously in love, you kind of see it in that episode…
McCoy: Don’t be a fool. My hands and face are frostbitten. I can’t feel my feet. Alone you have a chance. Now do what I say. Go try to find Jim.
Spock: We go together.

Zarabeth was an inhabitant of the planet Sarpeidon.
She was exiled to her planet’s past by Zor Kahn because members of her family tried to kill this tyrannical leader of her planet. She was transported to a barren Sarpeidon Ice Age by use of the atavachron, a time portal. She was provided with weapons, food and shelter and as her punishment, was to live out the remainder of her existence alone and unable ever to return to her time.
Spock and Leonard McCoy of the USS Enterprise accidentally entered Zarabeth’s time era when they attempted to follow Kirk through the atavachron. While seeking shelter in the frozen waste, they encountered her and she led them to safety. As McCoy recovered from their ordeal, Spock learned that they were “trapped” 5,000 years in the past and, as a result, began to emotionally regress to that time, which was before Vulcans had suppressed their emotions. Zarabeth, suffering from loneliness, told Spock that they could not return to their own time but was unaware that Spock and McCoy had not been “prepared” by the atavachron as she was. McCoy, noticing the growing attraction between Spock and Zarabeth, and finding Spock more than willing to stay put, accused her of deceiving them to persuade Spock to remain with her. An emotional outburst ensued and shocked Spock back to reality. Zarabeth eventually conceded to knowing only that she could never go back and sadly agreed to lead them to the portal. Spock, still reluctant to leave her behind, finally summoned the will to do so when they heard Kirk’s voice. They eventually found their way back and in the emotional closing dialog, Spock acknowledged the painful realization that Zarabeth had been dead for 5,000 years.
Zarabeth was played by actress Mariette Hartley. The design of the costume for Zarabeth was influenced by the fact that Hartley was one of many Star Trek actresses whose navels – as NBC’s Standards and Practices department warned Gene Roddenberry – had to be hidden. (Star Trek: The Original Series 365, p. 343)
In the novel Yesterday’s Son, it is revealed that Spock and Zarabeth had a son named Zar and that Zarabeth died seventeen years after the events of “All Our Yesterdays” as a result of falling into an ice crevasse.
