how long until ENT's forum is locked for posterity?
and for that matter, for the forums created for the previous series (i know of only Voyager's existance, unsure if Flare was aaround long enough to have forum posts dedicated to the other shows) how long after the series ended before the forums was locked for that series of topics? exactly how do we access them?
...and was that last glorious post, Really bashing her Bun?

It's unlikely anything is going to happen to the Enterprise forum until the rest of the world catches up on the episodes. I'm not sure how far ahead on Enterprise the States were compared to everyone else; isn't the UK still in season three? Anyway, letting everyone else catch up was the point in not closing the Voyager or Deep Space Nine forums right away. Give everyone else the opportunity to comment in older threads or post new ones.

I've proposed, I think, that we use the release date for the last Enterprise DVD set in most major markets as a guide. (In the U.S. that's somewhere in Novemeber.)
But yeah, the forum doesn't get locked so much as folded into General Trek.

Azati Prime and Damage (about 5 eps more to go in series 3 after that) were on today on channel 4 (terestrial). On Sky, Observer effect was the last one to play, I think.

Terrestrial = network, so give a lazy and not especially accurate translation. Sky = digital.

Saying Sky = digital is somewhat akin to saying Micro$oft = computer, or Ford = car, it's a little bit misleading as Sky aren't exactly dominant either, though everyone else carries the standard Sky channels on their networks.
I don't see why we have to be so far behind the yanks with programing, and film, and music, and games, etc.

Sorry, I was being a bit generic. My mum has Sky, so thats my benchmark. What I ment was on the Murdock money grabbing bastard channel Sky1, Observer effect was the last one to play, I think.

Well, I know you got "Battlestar Galactica" and the second half of the first season of "Stargate: Atlantis" before we did a few months back.
I don't know about music and games, but I'm pretty sure that, when film release dates differ between the US and UK, it's only by a couple of days, yes?

Usually. Although there are exceptions where we have to wait a couple of months. Because we're part of Europe and we get thrown in with them for the purposes of international distribution. So with Video Games they can't just give us the US version, they have to translate it and then give us the version that has French, Italian etc on.
It's to do with money allocation for advertising and, er, stuff. Of course, with the dollar being so piss poor at the moment you can quite happily import stuff and still have it cost less than if you bought it new over here.

1/ "Micro$oft". You lose 5 billion points.

No-one says "Have you got digital?" They say "Have you got Sky?" I gain 5 billion points.
End result: Liam = 72 trillion points. Marauth = loser.
Win for the champion!

You haven't got to switch for another 5 years, have you? Besides, don't you want your TV programs to be a bit wider? Eh? Eh?
(I always had Sky when I was a student. Of course, I was ridiculously poor and kept having to borrow money, but damnit, I needed my late night repeats of Cheers.)

Presumably you'll have graduated by then, anyway. Stupid posh Howard-loving student-type.

I'm pretty sure that when I graduate, erh, some number of years from now, the only digital TV transmissions here will be the ones from stupid British channels beaming across the stupid ocean mocking us with stupid British programs in stupid high-resolution stupidness.
