Deep Space Nine

[altariel]

For anyone in the UK anxious to acquire a new addiction, or to revisit an old one, Sky Mix seems to be showing Deep Space Nine from the beginning, weekdays 6pm, starting this evening.

I'd like to catch up with that, if only I had extra-terrestrial TV. The odd episodes I've seen were usually intriguing.

Well, it's just possible you know someone who has it on DVD...

Wish they'd do that here. On a network I get, I mean. I haven't seen seasons 1-3 and 5.

I loooove your "Last Homely House" icon!

There were repeats showing in the US on Spike TV, but I'm a bit vague about how the channels work on that side of the Pond.

Glad you like the icon! :-)

Spike TV is one of the channels you have to pay to get, so I don't. There's also a Sci Fi channel, which I also don't get. I've been renting DS9, but my local video store doesn't have all the seasons. (Woe is me! My life is so hard!)

Gah, there's just no justice!

. . . and it was listed in the Daily Mail's "Young Children's Choice" on Saturday. *bemused*

Childrens?! They'll be pitching the new Who as a kid's show next! Hmm.

[dberry.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly . . . on a related note, Trek books on Amazon often show as being in the "Childrens" category. o_O

(BTW, never resort to such a level of desparation that you have nothing better to do than read Daily Mail. It's really not worth it.)

I solemnly swear that I will never read the Daily Mail. I think I would rather just poke at my eyes.

They also started showing it on Sky One at 4 p.m. on Monday.

By amazing luck, I happened to sit down in front of the television and wonder what might be on to pass an idle hour at 3.55. So I've had two happy hours so far. I think this may be only the second time I've seen the pilot.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, and I also discovered that BBC 3 was showing Farscape just after midnight. And I've caught it just after Chi joined the crew, which means just before the plot arc started. Oh, happy, happy, happy, happy fair!

Aha, I should probably keep an eye out for when season 4 starts so I can see it before Peacekeeper Wars.

They did?

[sugoll.livejournal.com]

Darn, missed it, then. But I'll have to see about tuning in, since we've been planning to get addicted to DS9 at some point, having never seen it (we probably went for Now and Again instead).

Was going to fuming about us not getting Mix, but that's sort of defused, now...

Re: They did?

If the two episodes of the pilot have gone out, next episode introduces Garak. The show starts here...

They also started showing it on Sky One at 4 p.m. on Monday.

Oh good, that's probably more convenient than an episode a night. I like the pilot.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Oh, it seems to be an episode every day - I imagine they just started it two days ahead of Sky Mix, for some reason.

But if you want to see Season 4 of Farscape, go to SciFi, also at 4 p.m. That's also restarted very recently - I think today is the fifth episode but it's the first one in which Aeryn reappears. So you'd have missed the arrival of Sikozu/departure of Jool/establishing of Noranti/ditto Grayza, but I don't think it's too late to rejoin them.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads-up - I should be able to catch up.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Though now I think about it, it's a pity you missed What Was Lost (the second and third episodes), as they probably have more significance for the PK Wars than for the rest of the season. You could always apply to steverogerson for a loan.

I'm going to try a couple of episodes this week, and if it all seems really confusing, I'll howl out for a loan.
