If you like Jewel Staite as Kaylee from Firefly and Serenity and Dr. Jennifer Keller from Stargate: Atlantis, you’ll love the REAL Jewel Staite! That’s why we’re so pleased she’s agreed to join us regularly here at Blastr to answer your questions and share whatever happens to be on her mind.
Hello and welcome to my very first blog for Blastr! I’m absolutely thrilled to be blogging on this site, and even more thrilled that my ramblings will not have to be reduced to 140 characters or less!

Without the budget of a feature film, special effects are limited, third rate actors are hired, and stricter content controls mean that all the fun stuff from the films need to be cut. With a good director and some solid talent, a lucky few make it work. These are not them. These are the ones that should never have been okayed in the first place, and should definitely not have made it past the pilot episode. They are the worst television shows based on movies. Well, some of them anyway.
