Whoopi Goldberg Going Back to Sci-Fi -- on the Web
The Oscar-winning actress and current host of 'The View' is starring in and producing a new online sci-fi thriller series called 'Stream' on FEARnet. FEARnet is a horror Web site and video-on-demand network. Goldberg had briefly retired as an actress, but the 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' alum saw the chance to reach a new audience in a cutting-edge medium and jumped at the chance.
"The idea that you can be at work and check out a webisode tickles me because that is the future... I can reinvent my way of acting so that I challenge myself and see where it takes me for the second half of my life," she said.
In "Stream," Goldberg stars as Jody Quinn, a troubled woman at war with herself. The series comprises six five-minute episodes that detail three distinct periods in the woman's life. The first episode premieres January 15 on FEARnet.

Famous Cyborgs
Summer Glau plays 'Cameron,' a vaguely human 'Terminator' on the side of the good guys (or so we think).
Don't forget, Darth Vader was once a regular human dude. Then he became sci-fi's most famous cyborg.
Lindsay Wagner as 'The Bionic Woman,' in the original 1976 series about a cyborg secret agent.
Tricia Helfer as a Cylon in TV's remake of 'Battlestar Galactica.'
Lee Majors as Steve Austin, who is rebuilt into half man/half cyborg robot with super human strength in the 1970s TV show 'The Six Million Dollar Man." He'd probably cost a lot more these days, no?
Evil Terminator from the future in 'Terminator 2.'
Daryl Hannah plays a replicant in 1981's 'Blade Runner.'
Jean-Luc PIcard as Locatus in TV's 'Star Trek: The Next Generation."

Whoopi?
If you can't say something nice about someone (and I can't)...stop typing.
ruggitJan 16th 2009 8:37PM
Does anybody really care what Whoopie does?
She seems to have slightly more talent than Joy, who has none.
CKJan 16th 2009 8:46PM
Love both Joy and Whoopie - they are both hilarious. But if you have a stick up you a** you wouldn't understand that would you.
DTWJan 17th 2009 3:57PM
You're right anybody in their right mind could care less about Whoopie...
JMoJan 16th 2009 8:57PM
Whoopi Is The Only Person Who Has Ever Won An Oscar,Emmy,Tony And A Grammy...And Richly Deserved It. Unlike Many Of The "Plastic Fantastics" Is Still Very Down To Earth And UNpretentious....Those That bgash Her talent AND What She's Gone Through In Her Life Experience...Knows NOT What Talent And True Beauty Of One's Soul Is
CommAveJan 16th 2009 10:48PM
Whoopi is not the only person ever to win the Oscar, Emmy, Tony & Grammy. Rita Moreno was the first person to win all four awards.
RuthieJan 17th 2009 3:04AM
Rita Moreno was not the first either, that would be Richard Rodgers. In all 13 people have won all four awards.

You forgot 7of 9, the best one of all.
shirleyJan 16th 2009 11:14PM
Ditto, Jeri Ryan rocks
JosieJan 16th 2009 10:41PM
Who cares what Whoopi does. The only thing I could recommend is
facial plastic surgery.
MicheleJan 16th 2009 11:04PM
The only time I liked Whoopi was , she was in that movie....ummmm cannot think of the name, but she was yelling, help! I'm a little black lady in a box! oooooooh yeah, Jumping Jack Flash! lol that's the movie!
GerryJan 16th 2009 11:40PM
There is nothing more amusing then to listen to a nobody critiqueing a somebody....example those above!!!!!!!!!!!
DorisJan 16th 2009 11:40PM
I love the woman she is a down to earth person and she is just woopie don't dress fancy speak good english very smart and speak what she think and what you see is what you get. Love you Woopie.
clearwater57Jan 17th 2009 7:06PM
Does this mean she will be leaving The View?
whttcrapJan 17th 2009 12:53AM
Whoopi Goldberg is an ignorant, uncultured, uneducated embarrassment to the American people. She makes it very difficult for an educated man to respect blacks.
stillwill2Jan 17th 2009 1:51AM
BEFORE YOU COMMENCE TO "RESPECTING" ANYONE, YOU MUST FIRST LEARN TO RESPECT YOURSELF. DON'T BE STUPID, YOU MORON. OH, AND BY THE WAY, I'D LIKE TO SEE A CHALLENGE BETWEEN WHOOPI AND ROSIE TO SEE WHO IS MORE MANLY. LET'S HAVE A VOTE, EVERYONE.
MBJan 17th 2009 1:01AM
I think Woopie really is the best thing to hit The View ever. She has an insight unlike the rest. Great moderator. More qualified appearing than Barbara. Once you get past her un-plastic appearance, she's the real deal.
