Hmph.
Paramount Domestic Television has finally decided to pull a George Lucas and "upgrade" the sound and effects of the original Star Trek series just in time for the 40th anniversary of the show.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

They'd better not touch the musical score to those episodes—if the classic soundtrack to Kirk's fight scenes, etc. gets replaced by crappy music like they thought was appropriate for Enterprise, heads. Will. Roll.

I loved it when the Kirk fight music showed up on Futurama -- that was SO perfect. (Not to mention, they sampled the door swish noises for their animated foley scheme. Genius, I tells you!)

Did you guys watch the webisode?
I guess it goes live after Midnight on the day it comes out.
It was about 3 1/2 minutes of story plus a 30 second season 3 promo. (Well, the reality is that it's ALL a season 3 promo, isn't it?)
I will whitefont because uh. . . people need time to see it and it seems courteous at this point: I love that it starts with the Chief and Tigh and that they get right into the badness of the situation. And the redheaded pilot! (Duck, I think.) And Cally and Jammer and the Chief/Cally baby.

I heard the scene with Jabba the Hut is really extraneous.

Is that the NBC show? It's going to be on Sci-Fi as well? Or did NBC make the fastest cancellation in TV history?

So SG-1/SGA is going on hiatus at end of September?
Also, I think it's kinda ridiculous that Heroes will be showing simultaneously on two networks.
