Conference 7.286::star_trek

    Does anyone know exactly what series(s) they are showing when on SKY1/2 at
    the moment ?  Either they are mixing up new episodes with old ones, or
    repeating old shows having come to the end of a series ?  
    
    They were running TOS on Sundays from start to finish (hopefully)
    but seem to have started repeats on Saturdays (last week was 'And the
    Children Shall Lead').
    
    I kind of assumed they were doing the same with DS9, old on Saturday,
    new on Sunday, but after 'Broken Link' two weeks ago, Sunday seems to
    have gone back to repeats (at least, Odo is suddenly a changeling
    again !).
    
    I'm only interested because I don't have time to watch all 14 hours
    every week so only want to catch the new episodes (and the Sunday
    TOS which I have been faithfully watching for over a year now !).
    
    The whole schedule is:
    
    Mondays	20:00	SKY2	VOY	
    
    Mon - Fri	17:00	SKY1	TNG	(repeated at 23:00)
    
    Saturdays	09:00	SKY1	TNG
    and		11:00	SKY1	TOS
    Sundays	15:00	SKY1	DS9
    		16:00	SKY1	VOY
         

    I don't know about TOS, but they are in the middle of series 4 (I
    think) on TNG, showing daily. Data's Day was this week.
    
    On Voyager, they are coming towards the end of the second series on
    Monday evenings.
    
    On DS9, they completed Series 4 a couple of weeks back and then had to
    stop as Series 5 had not been released on video. I believe that Sky has
    to stay a certain amount of time behind the video releases.
    
    Clear?????

    Actually that did help.  Looks like I only need to stay in on Monday
    nights then !

    So now we have got to the end of series {mumble} of DS9 (Odo has just
    become a human) in the weekend repeats last night, what happens now ?
    
    Don't tell me they'll start with episode 1 again like they just did
    with the repeats of TOS and TNG...               

Looking at next week's RT they don't give the episode titles but Saturday's 
sounds like a repeat to me!

16.00	STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (Sci-fi series) 

	The Homecoming 

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine takes place near the beginning of the 24th century
and follows the adventures of a team of  Starfleet Officers who take command
of a remote alien station on the edge of a new frontier.  The space station is 
located near the mouth of a newly-discovered wormhole, a phenomenon that
provides a short cut to a distant,  unexplored quadrant of the galaxy. 
Travellers of all kinds are drawn here, and with hostile alien empires on all
sides,  it becomes the most strategic post in the galaxy. Starring Avery
Brooks, Rene Auberjonois, Siddig El Fadil, Terry  Farrell, Cirroc Lofton and
Colm Meaney
