I'm sure there are at least 20 people out of the 500 that think we're all american. Not that I'm surprised. We mostly talk english here mostly. The dialects don't translate.

There's also the fact that we spell things differently. Of course, with people like Omega around, different spellings of words aren't just limited to Brittain, Cannada and Austraalia.
It's our fault. We didn't pay much attention when we were learning United Statsian at school.

As far as spoilers go, I've gotten some people mad because they thought I should of put warnings and I thought it wasn't really necessary. For example, saying Q is in an upcoming Voyager episode isn't a spoiler.
I've heard that VCR's are made different or something in European countries. Too bad, I'd be willing to record episodes and send them out. For a small fee of course, mainly to cover the expense of shipping overseas.
I'm just now watching Babylon 5 for the first time on the Sci-Fi Channel which has just begun it's 5th season. Great show too, nice to see it everyday in order. And the more I watch it, the more Voyager's faults are obvious. I tried getting into Farscape..a couple times, but lost interest.

The tapes are the same, powerage is different. The US runs on 60 cycles and Europe runs on something like 50. I just flipped a switch on the back of my stereo and bought a plug adapter, the other smaller stuff, shaver and clock were native, so I didn't need to worry.... Yes, we can do a tape/fact file exchange, for me at least. Let me know if they're any takers, email me with an address, and tomorrow I will get some tapes.

The screen or display types are different too, so it's pointless. PAL vs NTSC, I believe.

The first few eps were cool. Then it went downhill.

The first few episodes were pants, then it was good, then great, then almost great, then pants again.
Almost everything made now is dual voltage anyway. 120 vs 240. Not that that makes a blinding difference for tapes. America and Japan use NTSC, whereas the rest of the world uses PAL. Which has a higher resolution. And is better. Natch.
Pretty much all VCR's made in the past few years though are NTSC compatible. So that's not the problem. No, the main problem is that it's a teeny weeny bit expensive to get tapes air-mailed over on a regular basis.
Still, I can and do buy US tapes from on-line stores. Or at least, I used to. I know buy DVD's. Which are region coded. Bastards.
