WEEK IN SCI-FI This week on Girls Kick Ass: Gellar consider Grudge re-match; Keira wins at Hollywood film festival; Charisma as Lois Lane?; This time, Buffy actress faces fear as mortal Alias door open for George Melissa George, who played the duplicitous Lauren Reed in the third season of Alias, told Sci Fi Wire that she tried to leave the door open for her character to return to the show, despite her apparent death in the season finale. "I think she should come back," George said in an interview on the set of her upcoming film, The Amityville Horror. "She got shot a lot. Like, a lot of times. Like, more than any regular person can take. But it was nothing in the heart. [It was in] the arms. And I played it like it didn't hurt her so I could come back. Like, maybe she had a vest on or something. They're like, 'Can you just look like you're in pain?' I'm like, 'Nope. I refuse.'" The fourth season of Alias is currently in production without George and another former regular, David Anders (Sark). George said that she thinks the audience will miss the characters and their interactions with Vaughn and Sydney. "Where's the blond assassin ruining their love life?" George said. "It's like, don't you want the Aryan-looking blondies in the leather?" Although George won't be returning to Alias as a regular character, she has spoken with creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams and several former co-stars about making a guest appearance this season if her schedule permits. "Yeah, they want me to so bad," she said. "So I'm trying to work it out, if I have time. They're all calling me. All of them. Like, 'Please come back!'" Alias' fourth season starts in January 2005. back to the top New Doctor Who logo unveiled The BBC's Doctor Who website has unveiled the new series' logo (below), which was created by Louise Hillam, Alison Jenkins and Hywel Roberts at the Graphic Design team at BBC Wales, with Luke Davies and Paul Humphrey at Insect Design working on the background.
According to the site, the logo will be seen on screen, online and in print next year. Panini's DWM will almost certainly use it, but it remains to be seen whether all BBC Books' Doctor Who novels will be using the new logo, or just the ninth Doctor ones. A full rebrand would at least be consistent with the current use of the most recent, 1996, logo across the entire range.
