I finally was able to get all pictures of LA Confidential session Zach did back in 2008.

Zachary Quinto may be taking some time off Trek (perhaps to play Gershwin) but he appears to be looking forward to getting back into it. The new Spock talked briefly to Entertainment Weekly about the Trek sequel and how he is as anxious as we all are to find out what writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof are up to.

Zach wants to be a Vulcan on the wall

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly has a very brief ‘Spock Talks Trek’ article, with some stuff about the new Star Trek Online game (with nothing new) and also a bit about Star Trek sequel. Here is what Quinto had to say.

How did you get involved with this?
It was a good way to show my continued support for the Star Trek universe, because I’m going to leave it for a while until we start the second movie. I played [Star Trek Online] for about a half hour. I’m not really good at that stuff. I had an Atari when I was a kid, when it was still the gaming console. Pitfall! is my favorite.

How’s the movie sequel coming?
[The writing team is] probably sequestered in a room somewhere. I’d love to be a fly on the wall to see what they’re coming up with. The next stage will be actually drafting the script. It’s a long process so I don’t expect to have anything to read until the end of the year.

Read the rest in the latest issue of EW, on newsstands now.

Zachary talks with Sci-Fi Wire about his new Star Trek role: As a voice in the new Star Trek Online MMO

Bashing ‘Heroes’ has become a sport, much like bashing ‘Saturday Night Live’ became a sport several years ago. “It’s not as good as it was” and “it sucks” are the phrases you hear most often when former fans (or fans that are still watching the show but always on the edge of leaving) talk about it.

Tim Kring tells The Onion that he knows what fans are saying about the show, but he also wants fans to know that there are things going on behind the scenes that they might not be aware of. For example, the writers strike hurt the show. Two, it’s actually a more consistent show when more writers write an episode than having just one writer on an episode. Three, the writers don’t even think of the show as being in “seasons,” it’s really all one continuous plot.

He makes a few good points. Being on the inside of a show can actually make you not see a few things that fans see (such as characters changing just for the sake of changing), but he also explains that if the characters didn’t change at all fans would then be say “why aren’t they changing?”

The biggest example he cites is Sylar. The way his character has changed over the seasons is directly related to Zachary Quinto’s talents. He also says that if he had his way he’d only do 13 episodes a season and he would have started over with new characters. Not sure if that latter plan could ever really happen when you have characters and actors that the audience likes.

I’ve uploaded the caps but didn’t had time to announce it here.

So, Heroes season it’s gone. What did you think about the episode?
I really liked. Specially because Sylar will have a new perspective. Sylar was the best thing in, at least, two seasons, and I was worried about how the writers would threat him. I can see a great future to our favorite character.
