Hey Everyone!! It has been a while since I have been here. Anyways, I have some questions. They are so dumb, but I dont know the answers.

1. When does the season premier or Voyager air?
2. When does Insurrection come out on purchasable video?
3. When is this fifth series supposed to come out?

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

1.) Voyager is supposedly premiering on the 22nd, from what I hear.

2.) I haven't heard anything.

3.) Unknown. Maybe fall 2000, maybe later.

1) see above

2) I've seen sept. 22 and sept. 28

3) Between 2000 (running allong side Voyager's 7th season) and 2002

And they are not dumb questions, but next time when you include something of series 5, you need to add a few $$$ signs in the title. In this case there is no real harm done.

That's an interesting question, actually. I imagine we'll be awash in fifth series rumors and spoilers. But I don't think simply asking about when a fifth series would premiere constitutes spoiler material. I suppose this will have to be addressed in the FAQ too. Is my work never done?

Sol System: There are special demons just to create work for you!! I know, cause First of Two said he hired them.

Sidewinder: Welcome Back!!!

If Voyagers rating climb out of the tank, look for S5 to air after Voyagers run, If they don't climb, or UPN goes under, as I is looking more and more like it will do, series 5 in Y2K

Well, you can purchase Insurrection on VHS now. It just costs more. Usually. Anyway, mid-October is what I heard, but I may be wrong.

Hint: Rent it. It's out at my local Blockbuster. Now all I have to do is to rent it without my mom knowing........

Why? Worried your mum might mis-read the title and deceide that Star Trek has sold out at last?

It's available to buy over here in the UK too I think. The 9 movie box-set should be out soon (which I'll probably buy. I don't own all the films. I own none in widescreen. And trek X won't be for a few years at least...)

I've got a fealing that Insurrection is out on DVD now too, but don't quote me on that.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

I don't consider it a spoiler. It's just a guess. And spoilers are generally something that will ruin your enjoyment of the show. Telling a Brit what happens in 'What you Leave behind' is a spoiler. Telling him when it aired in the US isn't.

Yeah, Insurrection's been out on DVD for a while now, which I find rather annoying. They're like, "Okey, here, we'll let everyone have this relatively new thing that you're going to have to go spend a few hundred bucks on a player for, and anyone who wants the normal medium can just wait"... >:-<

Heh heh...you're just jealous because I have a DVD player!

You know, I had some sort of witty remark all planned out, but I got sidetracked while looking for a new signature, and now I have nothing to say.

But I want a DVD player.

*defensively* I could have a DVD-ROM. . . the one I want's only �80. But there are issues about the MPEG decoding and whether my graphics card is compatible. Honest.

Posted by Diane (Member # 53) on :

Insurrection isn't on sale yet? I saw used Insurrection tapes on sale at Blockbuster the beginning of July! But they were $14.95, which is a bit expensive even for a new tape.

Posted by Dax (Member # 191) on :

Yeah, but they're the original (superior?) rental versions. The retail versions are different and come out later. The best thing about the retail versions is that they don't have the annoying previews of other movies.

Err, rental versions do often have previews.

And rental versions are generally higher quality tapes, but don't quote me on that.

You just repeated exactly what I said, Garak.

Virgin Megastore claims that the video will be released in the UK....

Are you sitting down??

NEXT YEAR!!!

Well, thanks everyone for your answers. The release date for IX seems to be a mystery. That is odd, since I knew the date VIII came out like when I saw the movie in the theatre!

I dunno what's more worrying. People's facination with frank's bedroom olympics (or lack thereof), or Mike using four exclamation marks at once.

Although dax cleverly drew attention away my using 3 question marks.

BTW, I have a DVD player, and am happy, as I see the outside of my front door at least three times a week. And no, school or work or doing the shopping for your mum doesn't count, m'kay?

And now I am going to inject myself with vast amounts of herion. Cheerio.

Herion being the antiparticle counterpart of the himion, of course.

Thursday on the radio, they were doing a "this day in rock and roll history" thing and they mentioned that on that day in 1970-something, one of the members of some band (shows how well I listened to it...) died after snorting what he thought was cocaine, but which actually turned out to be pure heroin.

Not that that has anything to do w/ anything, aside from Liam's little typo. But I thought it was interesting, nonetheless. :-)

Choice sig, PsyLiam

BTW, I've got Starvin' Marvin on DVD and there's 4(!) other episodes on the same disc. DVD kicks ass

Ah, you thought it was a typo, but it's actually a new invention of mine. And no, you can't have any.

Dax: bang right. The vids only get two measly eps for over a tenner, and in one case, only one ep. DVD's get for or five for around �16 (which I can get cheaper). And you gotta love ol' Scratch haven't ya?
