| Enterprise star Jolene Blalock blasted the producers of her series in a scathing interview for the British SF magazine, SFX. "You can't substitute tits and ass for good storytelling," she told the magazine. "You can have both, but you can't substitute one for the other, because the audience is not stupid. You can't just throw in frivolous, uncharacteristic... well, bull and think it's gonna help the ratings!" When asked about her thoughts on the continuation of the series and why someone like new producer Manny Coto wasn't brought in earlier, Blalock fired another verbal salvo. "You have this head guy who's some kind of ancient old croaker with no concept of the real world outside, with his fine wine and his, er, crumpets. And what are ya gonna tell them? 'Give it up'? 'Go home, be with your wife, go play golf'? No – then ya got no job! A powerful job is your identity. Give that up, and who are you? What the hell are you gonna do with all that time? You can't tell people what to do anymore!" This follows a bizarre appearance by Blalock on an American talk show a couple of weeks ago. The SFX Magazine with the Blalock interview hits the stands November 24th. |
