Meet Jolene Blalock, the latest space-babe to board the Star Trek franchise on its new UPN show, 'Enterprise.' Blalock, will play a character named Sub-Commander T'Pol, a sultry, pointy-eared Vulcan who bleeds green and has been described as "austere yet sensual." Oh yeah. She joins a cast that includes Scott Bakula ("Quantum Leap," "American Beauty") who plays Jonathan Archer, the captain of a primitive deep space rocket ship.
It's a no-brainer casting move for 'Enterprise' producers, who watched the ratings for 'Star Trek: Voyager' sink into a black hole - until they added space-vixen Jeri Ryan to the crew during the show's fourth season as the sexy half-human, Seven of Nine. Blalock is a relative unknown. She starred in last year's NBC miniseries, "Jason and the Argonauts" as Meda and appears in the upcoming mini-series, "Diamond Hunters," based on the Wilbur Smith best selling novel starring Roy Scheider and Alyssa Milano.

Blalock also recently appeared in an episode of CBS' "C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation" and the short-lived WB series, 'D.C.' "Enterprise" takes place only a century from now and 100 years before the original "Star Trek" series, when deep space travel is still a new concept. It explores the history of intergalactic upheaval that eventually leads to the formation of the Federation, a democratic government made up of a collection of planets that is eventually based on Earth - in, uh, San Francisco.

Besides, Blalock and Bakula, the new crew of 'Enterprise' includes, Ensign Travis Mayweather, (Anthony Montgomery); Ensign Hoshi Sato (Linda Park); Phlox, (John Billingsley); Lt. Malcolm Reed (Dominic Keating); and Chief Engineer Charlie Tucker (Connor Trinneer). — Don Kaplan, New York Post.
