Not sure how this slipped by me last month, but, well, here it is now.
Brent Spiner of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame, and Houston native, has signed on to a new science-fiction series called "Threshold". The series, according to this link on TVTome, is about a group of scientists, led by a female "government contingency analyst", whatever that is, who encounters an alien lifeform. No details on what part Spiner will play, but somehow I doubt he's the alien. Details are, of course, somewhat sketchy, but I think it's great that Mr. Spiner is working again.
(Oh, and I got the original story from this link at TrekWeb.)
