BLTN: So THAT'S what Isis has been up to all these years

Just making sure you did NOT miss this, amid a crazy-busy last couple weeks:

Angela Dorian, 1968 Playboy Playmate of the Year, charged in attempted murder: report

A one-time Playboy Playmate may be forced to cover up -- with a prison uniform.

Angela Dorian, who in 1968 graced the pages of the men's magazine as Playmate of the Year, has been charged with attempted murder, according to TMZ. ...

And why is this tucked away here on TREKLAND? Check out Angela Dorian in one of her uncredited roles:

Yep!
Time was, we didn't even have good records on a lot of TOS non-speaking extras—a gap now slowly being filled in by many of us. That to-do list includes the name of just who it was that appeared as the very human form of "Isis" the cat, in the very last scenes of the would-be spinoff pilot "Assignment: Earth." So a h/t to Scott Dutton and his singular focus on that episode as a magnet—thanks to his little seed of online info, this startling news story about Angela Dorian ... or Victoria (Vetri) Rathgeb ... got way more play than it would have just a few years ago:

And what's the point really lost in all this?
Attempted murder or not—whoever knew a Playmate of the Year was EVER involved with Trek?

STV: BLTN*: Open 'The Gates' TONIGHT for Robert Hewitt Wolfe

Thanks to my "lost August," I'm only now getting to blog this video I grabbed with Robert Hewitt Wolfe at Comic-Con. Aside from Majel's memorial service in early '09, I had not really seen much of "Wolfie" since his days in the Hart Building as a young writer on DS9—starting with the Bareil/Winn debut, "In The Hands of the Prophets."

Though slow to post it, this "Switching to Visual" is a good reminder TODAY that his second ep of the season for The Gates airs tonight on ABC (10 PM PT/ET). In this, we cover that AND the funner stuff of Comic-Con San Diego, too... all from the sparse decore of my signing table.

Just goes to show how the serendipity of any con for anybody at any time can be a fun thing... So thank you, Mrs. Fields, for being the magnet that drew us together!
