Fans around the world are joining together for a series of social media events in early March for a common goal: to bring “Stargate” back to televsion.
Joe Mallozzi is one of the main reasons Stargate’s fan base is so passionate years after the last episode aired. He’s also a key player in trying to reignite a fourth Stargate (although he may have to do without the services of SGU creative consultant John Scalzi).
The Prophet Joseph Smith organized a small group called the Council of Fifty (there were about 50 members) shortly before he died. The council discussed issues relevant to forming a “kingdom of God” in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ. The Joseph Smith Papers recently published the Council of Fifty minutes for the first time.
SALT LAKE CITY — On Feb. 28, CBS will debut “Survivor: Ghost Island” and again give viewers a chance to vicariously experience adventure, intrigue and betrayal.
SALT LAKE CITY — On Feb. 18, Hallmark Channel will give viewers a late Valentine’s Day gift in the form of the season five premiere of “When Calls the Heart” — a rare television show that answers many viewers’ yearning for family values in entertainment.
In Feb. 2018, I had the opportunity to interview Alfonso Moreno for “10 questions.” Moreno has a long career in the entertainment industry that includes work on NCIS, The Practice, The Guardian – and many others. He is currently the showrunner for Hallmark Channel’s family-friendly hit, When Calls the Heart.
Lori Loughlin played the role of Abigail Stanton on When Calls the Heart. She initially planned to help out with the TV movie, but ended up becoming a series regular before her departure. Many fans wonder if Loughlin could return (producer Brian Bird hints that it’s possible). In this interview, she looks back on her time as a central When Calls the Heart cast member.
Dawn Meehan has played Survivor twice and was the runner-up on Survivor: Caramoan (Fans vs. Favorites). She’s reconciled with Brenda since the emotional request to remove her teeth at the final tribal council, but says that it’s still painful to think about. Dawn also talks about her love for Brandon Hantz, her career as an English teacher at Brigham Young University, and the role of her Latter-day Saint faith.
Jeff Probst is best known for his role as the host of Survivor (featuring contestants like Dawn Meehan) but he initially auditioned for The Amazing Race. He can’t imagine life any other way now.
The Council of Fifty was a secret organization founded by the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1844. The previously inaccessible records — or minutes — kept by the group remained a source of much speculation until they were made public in 2016.
