Star Trek DVD Night - Sunday 6.Feb.2005

Set phasers on phun

DATE: SUNDAY 6 February 2005
TIME: from 5pm
WHERE: Jahnstrasse 5
Ring the bell for Fannin. I'm on the 4th floor, left hand side. There is no elevator.

Where I am: U1 or U2 (or U7) to Fraunhofferstr. North exit on the left hand side. First right to Jahnstr. and I'm a few doors down.

This will not be done in chronological order as it would take roughly the rest of our lives to get through everything. So, everyone picks an episode and we watch things out of order. 2 part episodes count as one episode. I have the original (i.e. Kirk) series season 1 and also Deep Space 9 (i.e. Sisko) seasons 3, 4 and 5. Anyone who has some TNG will be most welcome. I'll have to insist on at least one old school episode, if only for contrast. "Balance of Terror"? "The Arena"? You gotta love the Gorn.

The time is 5:00, but if people want an earlier start so that they can get more episodes in before Superbowl viewing, I'm ok with that.

I'll be there! I'll bake something, probably cookies and bring a bottle of wine. See you Sunday!

5 p.m. sounds good to me. I can't supply any DVDs but I'll bring some soft drinks. Don't want to be under the table before midnight.

I am a real Trekkie! I would loved to have joined you guys (i take it it is an open invite?) but i have other plans for sunday. Will you be doing this another day?

I'ld love to see some of the original series again but I'm not sure if I can make it . How much notice do you need UpQuark?

It just so happens that my 1st choice is from season 1 TOS.

Don't need any notice at all. People drop in and out- very informal.

Okay, thanks for hosting.

Please keep the transporter room cleared after the Ireland Italy game then, don't want to be beamed into your fridge or anything.

Why don't you just mess around with the space-time continium than you can watch the game travel back in time and make it to UpQ's on time.

Ah now your talking. Even better would be to go forward, set the result and then forget I'ld done that, watch the game and then head over to UpQ's.

And send a clone back to my apartment at the start of the week to tidy up. A clone with enhanced tidy DNA.

Unfortunately I'm sure there is a Star Fleet directive (724-D perhaps) against interference in traditional tribal activities of a religious nature, which would appear to include rugby.

@UpQuark - Do you have a VCR?

I do have a VCR, but it comes from the US and I do not have i) an AC transformer to plug the thing in or ii) an adaptor to get the thing to play on a SCART TV. Each of those has been on my low-priority to do list, which means that it will likely never get done.

I can supply a NTSC/PAL VCR & a SCART lead.

I can also supply seasons 6&7 of Voyager on video.

@3 Lions: There's still the AC issue, unless someone has a transformer they'd like to loan. And of course there's also the fact that I'm thinking the last two seasons of Voyager probably sucked. I quit watching in the third season.

We are going to be watching this on a holodeck aren't we, aren't we?

I can bring a video player if needed ?

I will be there ...

Feel free to bring a video player (by which I assume you mean VCR).

Meanwhile, enjoy some links :

The Old Series

The Next Generation

Deep Space Nine

Voyager

These guys need some help

I have Trekkies 2 and most of Enterprise Season 4.

Qu'vatlh !

I might have to miss this as I'm dog minding on Sunday so if I don't turn up hope ye have a good night.

I caved in and picked up Season 4 of TNG a short while ago, so I know have five sets of DVDs to watch. Man, I'm a nerd.

Thanks for hosting last night UpQuark, sorry we stayed so late. We had a great time though, lots of fun.

Yeah thanks for hosting UpQ! We need to have another ST night soon. Last night only wet my appetite for more!

Yep thanks again UQ. It was fun and lasted just late enough...
The revelation of the evening for me was that there are some DS9 episodes that are actually quite enjoyable

Yep thanks ! And unlike my usual self sorry I never managed to make it to the end, had a really early start this morning, and this is the first time today I have been able to check TT.

Thanks UpQuark for hosting again.

For anyone who couldnt make it, these are the episodes we watched -

First Contact - TNG Season 5
The Squire of Gothos - TOS Season 1
In Theory - TNG Season 5
Trials and Tribble-ations - DS9 Season 5
Our Man Bashir - DS9 Season 4
For the Uniform - DS9 Season 5

Whens the next one then?

Thanks to all who made it. It's reassuring to know that there are people who are just as geeky as I am, if not moreso.

Minor correction: the TNG episodes were both from Season 4.

Would love to do it again. Possible themes: time travel, alternate universes, favorite two-parters, ones with cool battles scenes.

i have the following TNG episodes on hdd and can be transferred to DVD for the minor cost of a few DVDs:

Galaxy's Child
Night Terrors
Identity Crisis
The Nth Degree
Qped
The Drumhead
Half a Life

Owain, those are season 4 episodes, which I picked up on Saturday.

Doh!! Sorry I have Season 5 TNG on the brain, as there a few from that season that stick in my mind.!!
