Where the F is Twin Peaks Season 2? by Trazadone	Mar 7th, 2006 08:06:37 AM

Carnivale!? by Randall Flagg	Mar 7th, 2006 10:24:34 AM
Still no word on Carnivale 2.x ?
Doh! by Randall Flagg	Mar 7th, 2006 10:25:29 AM
I spoke too soon too! Is there a month announced, or is it just "this year" at this point?
Get Smart? by Rowley Birkin QC	Mar 7th, 2006 11:04:02 AM
When is this coming out, if ever?

a theory by TheBaxter	Mar 7th, 2006 11:27:30 AM
maybe Paramount had a sudden bout of conscience and decided to stop gouging trek fans for every last cent. ok, you're right, that IS a silly idea.
Hey, Wild Wild West! by teedadawg	Mar 7th, 2006 11:31:32 AM
Very nice!
The Borg were good for 3 episodes by I Dunno	Mar 7th, 2006 11:56:15 AM
The one where they first meet them and the two parter where Picard got assimilated. From then on they systematically made the Borg unscary and lame. The movie broke the rules by giving them a Queen with an individual mind. Then Voyager completly ripped the nuts off them and made them a joke.
Voyager didn't just make them a joke by Big Jim	Mar 7th, 2006 12:28:15 PM
it all but invalidated the first episode with Q and the sub-plot of First Contact where the Borg try to contact themselves in the past. Voyager claims humans already knew of the Borg before Picard ever met them and 7's parents even went looking for them. And 7 even makes a comment regarding the Borg's activities in First Contact. If mankind knew of the Borg before Q introduced them, you can bet the Borg would have been aware of them. And they were a lot lamer on Voyager. When the crew of the Enterprise boarded a Cube it was tense because there was a sense they were in danger. Voyager's crew would jump on and off Borg ships like they were going on a picnic.
I don't really see this as a way for Paramount by Big Jim	Mar 7th, 2006 12:34:45 PM
to soak the fans (although I am sure it is part of it). I am not willing to shell-out the big bucks for full seasons or full series sets (even at these so-called "reduced prices"). These new DVDs contain many of my favourite episodes. These are the ones I want to watch over and over again. So I can get many of my favourite episodes without having to buy several seasons of several series.
Joey -Season 1 by bralli	Mar 7th, 2006 12:39:39 PM
If you are actually buying that crap, you should be kicked square in the nuts... Plus even if you are one of the tens of....fans of the show, how are you going to get $30? ;-)
Best Q Episode ever: "Tapestry" by Tapestry-Lover	Mar 7th, 2006 12:40:10 PM
That episode was far and away better than all episodes of any other show ever made in the history of the world. Well ... It was really good.
Andromeda was a pile of steaming feces by googamooga	Mar 7th, 2006 12:52:52 PM
Seriously, has anyone ever watched an entire episode of this show? Horrible.
Tapestry was a great episode by Big Jim	Mar 7th, 2006 12:58:14 PM
and it doesn't seem to be on these discs. I may have to ammend my previous comments. All Good Things (both parts) are on the Q set and on the Time Travel Set. Q Who? appears in the Borg set and in the Q set. And due to this they leave out one of the best episodes ever? I hadn't looked too closely at what was on the sets and had not noticed the duplications. Shit, they are soaking the fans after all. Paramount fuckers.
I may also have to learn how to spell "amend" by Big Jim	Mar 7th, 2006 01:00:11 PM
D'oh!
Why are the Star Trek sets so expensive? by googamooga	Mar 7th, 2006 01:01:09 PM
I'm not that big of a Star Trek fan, so I'll never be purchasing them, so it doesn't really matter to me, but DAMN! Why do they cost so much? The only shows I've ever purchased on dvd, were Buffy and Angel (both better shows than any series of Star Trek, IMO) and even when new, those sets were never over $50, and are much cheaper now. What gives? Is it just that the studios know how rabid Star Trek fans are and that they'll pay almost anything?
It seems I also have to learn how to read by Big Jim	Mar 7th, 2006 01:24:46 PM
I did not notice that the episodes listed on the Q set are just guesses by Herc. So I will save my vitriol for when we know for sure if Paramount is putting duplicate episodes on these discs and leaving out other related great episodes.
trek box sets by haywire666	Mar 7th, 2006 01:28:59 PM
paramount killed the goose that laid the golden egg by selling the same stuff in repackaged boxes because trekkers will fall for that rubbish. for years they sold all the eps on video, holding back the dvd sales until video was dead.. now they're ramping up dvd boxes because.. gues what hd dvd and blueray are on its way. dont believe the hype, the episodes are in in heavy rotation on tv anyways. i used to buy all the videos until it dawned on me that it was a colosal waste of time and money cough torrent cough
Battlestar G by fyn	Mar 7th, 2006 01:31:42 PM
does anyone happen to know when the full second season of battlestar is slated for dvd?
Tapestry was one of THE BEST EPISODES by Russman	Mar 7th, 2006 01:57:00 PM
EVER.
I hate it when they jack up prices by ZombiKiller86	Mar 7th, 2006 02:03:07 PM
Especially when you find out that the Monty Python set now costs over 160 dollars.
Fuck Family Guy! by Orionsangels	Mar 7th, 2006 02:23:28 PM
You probably control that football shaped head baby that people seem to love so much. stewie or dewie whatever his name is, I don't get it. He's one of the most contrived or rather stratagem cartoon characters ever created. It's like the creator threw a fishing line to see how many of you would bite. oh look I created the next bart, the next cartman. buy the t-shirts! say the catch phrases!
Charmed is one of the worst shows on TV by Orionsangels	Mar 7th, 2006 02:28:07 PM
The cover of that Boxset is hotter than the whole series. charmed has laid back acting. the villians are hokey. every other episode seems to have body swopping storyline. and that annoying way they disappear from place to place. it's so cheesy. they lost me after doherty left
Why is Joey still on the air? by Orionsangels	Mar 7th, 2006 02:33:32 PM
I'll tell ya why. most shows like this would have been cancelled by now, but since Matt LeBlanc was friends. He has alot a clout at NBC. He gets alot a second chances. very unfair. the show in one word is, Retarded
Q on Tapestry by Tapestry-Lover	Mar 7th, 2006 03:03:37 PM
Man, that episode was everything I wanted for a Q episode. In other words, it was the exact opposite of the Robin hood episode. Tapestry had life, death, and everything in between. it made you think. It made the charactyers think. it challenged what we thought we knew about Q. It was one of the rare episodes where you couldn't easily predict where it was going after 3 minutes. It kept me engaged throughout. And just when it got too deep, only then did they add some Q-style levity. Honestly, in the opening scene where Picard is dazed and confused, and Q announces "your dead and I'm God". Man, they had me at hello.
still no fuckin' GvsE... by boast	Mar 7th, 2006 04:05:10 PM

Best Buy has the Borg set in their weekly ad. by Voice O. Reason	Mar 7th, 2006 08:38:46 PM
And its listed for under $30.
K-Mart has The Borg Set by ZombiKiller86	Mar 7th, 2006 08:46:31 PM
They had a few copies of it on their shelf at my local K-Mart.

At the risk of sounding like a loser... by jsm1978	Mar 7th, 2006 10:55:18 PM
Enterprise wasn't a prequel to "First Contact". It happened after first contact.
borg head by all your base	Mar 7th, 2006 10:59:16 PM

"Why is Amazon waiting until April 4 to sell it?" by Voice O. Reason	Mar 8th, 2006 12:26:04 AM
April 4 is the release date for "Time Travel." I was just at Walmart 2 hours agoand they're selling it for $29.95.
"both better shows than any series of trek" by I Dunno	Mar 8th, 2006 12:46:06 AM
Neither were better than DS9. That is all.
Deadwood Season 2 by Grando	Mar 8th, 2006 08:07:57 AM

Mission Impossible TV series- when? by Scott2tune	Mar 8th, 2006 11:45:05 AM
Star Trek, Outer Limits, Twiight Zone, and even Fantastic Voyage- but still no word on Mission Impossible? Anyone?
Wondershowzen is brilliant. Robot Chicken is good... by Doom II	Mar 8th, 2006 12:20:02 PM
That Girl gave me strange feelings when I was 10 (Marlo Thomas.Mmmm. Yummy). Joey the first/final season set? Blah! Another Beavis & Butthead already? Man they crank those dvd's out fast don't they?
Glad I'm not a Star Trek fan... by Doom II	Mar 8th, 2006 12:23:24 PM
I'd be broke as shit right now if I bought all the dvd's Paramount releases. For the record, there were 2 good Trek films (Khan & Undiscovered Country). Two were "ok" (Search For Spock, First Contact) and the rest are complete turds.
Do your job Herc. by PVIII	Mar 8th, 2006 02:15:27 PM
BSG isn't coming back until Fall. Find out why. Also, adress AD rumors. C'mon man.
Any news on Brisco County Jr? by cromulent	Mar 8th, 2006 03:09:55 PM

Janeway-Six??? by DOGSOUP	Mar 8th, 2006 04:25:22 PM
Who was Six? Seven? Of Nine? I dunno, man, the ludes kicked in an hour ago. Ludes man.
ST by Jaka	Mar 8th, 2006 05:30:30 PM
City on the Edge of Forver, Best of Both Worlds and All Good Things..., that right there is 5 hours (or so) of the best entertainment ever produced for TV (and the books that have been written around those episodes only make them better).
herc, i want pinky and the brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by McLuvin	Mar 8th, 2006 05:54:17 PM
when is warner bros gonna sack up and release them
What are we gonna do tonight, McLuvin? by moondoggy2u	Mar 8th, 2006 07:32:27 PM

The real question is, when's The Fall Guy showing up? by Heywood Jablowme	Mar 8th, 2006 11:12:35 PM
Now THAT was a good show. You're telling me more people want to see the second season of The Nanny? Joey? Charmed? Get the hell out of here. Nice to see Walker's showing up. I thought Chuck was going to have to roundhouse kick a guy to get his show on the shelf. Speaking of Chuck, did you know Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean. True story.
No, the REAL question is... by ZombiKiller86	Mar 9th, 2006 02:01:44 AM
when are we going to get season sets of You Can't Do That On Television?
Speaking of Borg, Warp 11's last show was amazing. by warp11	Mar 9th, 2006 03:18:24 AM
Check http://www.warp11.com/crew for the links to the tracks from the last show. They played "Welcome to our Cube", which is a fucking dark song about the borg. The band is hugely popular. WARP!
Warp 11 are a bunch of hacks. Warp 12 is much better. by SpyGuy	Mar 9th, 2006 09:17:51 AM
However, both of these Hugely Popular Bands Nobody Cares About Especially In DVD Talkbacks easily pale in comparison to Warp 13.
yes, in "glorious quicktime" please by durhay	Mar 9th, 2006 12:29:07 PM

Warp11 has nothing on Whoa!11, the band by durhay	Mar 9th, 2006 12:30:09 PM
themed around "Blossom"
Mmm, milk. by scrumdiddly	Mar 9th, 2006 04:56:41 PM

uhhh moondoggy2u... by McLuvin	Mar 9th, 2006 06:28:43 PM
...what??
The Borg Set by Voice O. Reason	Mar 9th, 2006 11:23:09 PM
Now that I've bought and watched the Borg set (eat it, Herc!), I almost feel bad I taped over many of the Voyager episodes I'd taped off of UPN. Even that turd could apparently pump out 2 or 3 good shows a year.
DS9 rules them all. by I Dunno	Mar 9th, 2006 11:30:53 PM
The Dominion War was the best Trek ever filmed.
BREAKING NEWS: by Sir Loin	Mar 10th, 2006 01:54:11 AM
Martin Sheen is NOT the president. He only thinks he is.
I Dunno by Sir Loin	Mar 10th, 2006 01:57:40 AM
Agreed, DS9 ruled...those last 3 seasons were MUCH better than TNG! Too bad we won't get a Sisko movie.
They missed the opportunity to do a DS9 movie by I Dunno	Mar 10th, 2006 10:42:41 AM
in 1998. Instead of whatever the hell Star Trek 9 was about they should have done a Dominion War movie with the TNG and DS9 crews. That would have accomplished two things. First, it wouldn't have sucked like Trek 9 did. IT would have been a big, kick ass Star Wars type movie (yeah I know, Trek is about social commentary and the human experience but we're trying to make money here) and it would have introduced the DS9 crew for future movies. Instead they're at a dead end now because they thought the TNG crew would last forever.
Am I the only excited about the release of Dr. Katz? by Sod Off Baldric	Mar 10th, 2006 12:43:02 PM
I can't be.
Wow, never been interested in Trek on DVD by quadrupletree	Mar 10th, 2006 02:10:51 PM
Just to expensive and I can watch the reruns on like 4 cable channels at this point. But these themed sets actually sound cool. I'm tempted to buy one, if I can find it...
Damn... by DocPazuzu	Mar 10th, 2006 04:01:27 PM
Angie Dickenson sure is looking good on that Police Woman DVD set.
McLuvin by moondoggy2u	Mar 10th, 2006 05:31:49 PM
The same thing we do every night, McLuvin--try to take over the world!!!
I have something to say re: Ghost Whisperer by Mutant Leader	Mar 10th, 2006 07:12:08 PM
Look at that photo of Marlo Thomas. . .does she remind you of anyone? Anyone with big, purty eyes and soft brunette hair? She reminds me of someone I like very much who has her own Friday night show. I think this may be more than just coincidence. W/R/T Ghost Whisperer. . .every time I watch it I am struck by the thought that this is a show that, deep down inside, really REALLY just wishes it were That Girl 2006 with supernatural overtones. Do any of you get that feeling too? They're trying hard to escape the shadow of Medium. . .and the rights to That Girl ARE available, are they not? So why not just go for it? Something to think about. :)
I Dunno by Jaka	Mar 10th, 2006 07:37:52 PM
Yep gotta agree that DSP ruled them all. And that the ALL of the continuous story archs and REAL character development that took place are what sets it apart. As an avid reader of all the ST books I have to say it's the series that most closely has the feel of the development that takes place for the rest of the series OFF screen. And yes, the Dominion War story arch doth rawk! But I still say City on the Edge of Forver, Best of Both Worlds and All Good Things are some of the best television ever produced.
quadrupletree, Ummm.... by Jaka	Mar 10th, 2006 07:39:12 PM
...other than Enterprise, I thought Spike had exclusive rights to Next Gen, DS9 and Voyager. Am I wrong on this? Help me out people.
Oh, and regarding Voyager suckage.... by Jaka	Mar 10th, 2006 07:46:58 PM
...I, personally, think it's better than Enterprise because Enterprise should have never happened. Beyond that, I still rank it fourth out of the series I choose to admit exist. lol. But! Big BUT!...I like big butts and I can not....errr....upon rewatching the series I found there are only two things that really created the suckage. One, the actor that played Chakotay didn't like the series and should have been dumped as soon as he made that known. Pretty much every scene he is in is craptacular. Two, they relied too much on the holodeck for storylines. Otherwise, it was STILL better than most of what is on basic cable and it was near the ONLY Sci-Fi worth watching for most of it's run. Sure, they could have solved the holodeck issue if they had just brought them home earlier in the run. But that falls into the "why not get rid of that Chakotay guy if he doesn't want to be involved?" catergory as well. There seems to have been some stubborness at Paramount about Voyager. But really, it had more like 10 or 12 good eps each season - 4 or 5 of which were excellent. All just my opinion of course. And my personal ranking is still DS9, a tie for TOS and TNG (with TNG maybe a TAD in front because of the 7 season run), then Voyager....and ummmm, that other one that should never have existed.
And lastly, ST: Titan by Jaka	Mar 10th, 2006 07:49:52 PM
Has anybody read the first two ST: Titan books yet (as well as Articles of the Federation)? Riker finally has his command, of the USS TITAN. Troy is his "Number One" and I'll be damned if they aren't GREAT books so far. The third is too be released soon. Those too books, along with Articles of the Federation all fall into place right around Nemesis (before and after) in the timeline and, if there is ever to be another ST series, it had BETTER be this.
Enterprise vs. Voyager by Voice O. Reason	Mar 10th, 2006 08:43:21 PM
I'm going on the record and saying that Enterprise's last season makes it beter than Voyager. Neither Archer nor Janeway were all that bright, but at least Enterprise had T'Pol and Trip. Voyager's only good character was the Doctor. DS9 ruled them both, though.
Enterprise was ok. by I Dunno	Mar 10th, 2006 10:12:38 PM
It really got moving in its last season and showed that it could be good. I liked the temporal cold war and I liked the treacherous Vulcans. The characters were ok, better than V'gers anyway. Anyway, it wasn't as bad as most people say.
OK, Enterprise... by Jaka	Mar 11th, 2006 01:55:55 PM
...should never have existed. It never WOULD HAVE have existed if Roddenberry was alive. You don't build an entire mythology and then decide to go back to the beginning and randomly change it for no appearant reason...other than complete and total lack of creativity.
You also forgot a couple of things about Voyager. by mrfan	Mar 11th, 2006 04:50:06 PM
Too much Borg woman and not enough stories fleshing out the characters they already had. Same old stuff happened to them every week. No growth. I think that Borg woman is hot but every freaking week.
I wouldn't say Enterprise rewrote the mythology by I Dunno	Mar 11th, 2006 05:34:25 PM
There might be some nitpicky things here and there that only the supergeeks would get but it didn't rewrite anything.
Amazon fucking sucks... by scrivener	Mar 12th, 2006 10:18:34 AM
I ordered the Star Trek TNG complete series back January for $390. At the time I figured, "well, it's actually cheaper than just buying 5, 6, & 7 seperately." As of yet, Amazon STILL hasn't shipped and I'm getting pissed the fuck off.
Carnivale Season 2 by scrivener	Mar 12th, 2006 10:19:27 AM
