I no longer get Voyager. The local station that carried it has cancelled all UPN shows. Needless to say, I am not in a good mood.
Barring a miracle, my hope now lies in the possibility that new episodes will be shown in syndication next year (which I still get).
In the meantime, I expect all of you to keep me informed of all rumors/spoilers, so that I won't have to go through total withdrawal.

I feel for you. Ever since moving, I haven't seen an episode. Not since 'Equinox, Part I'.

I know the feeling. I lost Voyager an episode before "Message in a Bottle", and didn't get it back 'til this past summer.

Am I right in thinking the US doesn't have much in the way of videoreleases?

North America is, say, about five years behind you in video releases.

I know that the US is part of North America, I am just shocked that North America would be behind in Video releases, I always thought stuff was released here first.

Oh no, not at all. They just released DS9 episodes on video for the first time for the 30th anniversary (five years after the premiere) in NA. Anywhere else in the world, the tapes come out four-to-six months after the airdate in the U.S. and Canada.

Although I think we're the first to be getting DVD eps of TOS...

Wow. Why would they release it everywhere else 5 years ago? It doesn't make any sense, and it is just plain not fair!! How many eps will be on each TOS DVD? What extras will there be?

Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
IIRC there's only one ep per DVD. Makes sense. They wouldn't make enough money to satisfy their greed by putting more than one on each disc..

Posted by Gepta001 (Member # 231) on :
what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are two eps on each tape!! they should at least have two episodes on each DVD. I mean how much money do they want to rape us for? If there was only one ep on each DVD it might cost over $1500 to collect the whole set of TOS? That is so wrong!!

oh good, now I just have to pay around $700 for my full collection. They could easily fit 4 eps per dvd!

The station that I used to get Voyager cancelled it after Equinox Pt. 1 and moved it to another station from that city, which I don't get. I got a movie box from our local cable company, now I get UPN 38.

You have UPN38? Prepare to be annoyed. I bet you 1/2 of the time that Voyager's supposed on there'll be a sports event on instead. Sometimes they'll show it on Thursday or Friday if Wednesday's missed, and it's always on Saturday at 12:00 AST.

Good old UPN 38. At 9 pm my time they say they'll show a syndicated rerun of Voyager. One week they only showed it three times. At 8 pm on Wednesday they show the new episodes, and there hasn't been a problem... yet.
