Hello World!

Tonight, as you can read in Today on TV, the BBC will start re-airing the Original Series. I'll be watching 'The Cage', but I'm not sure yet if I'll also watch the rest of the episodes after that - as you may remember from the TOS DVD review I wrote a while back, I'm slowly building up my DVD collection, and if I see the episodes now again, I probably won't be as stimulated to buy the DVDs again, even though I do want them. For the same reason I'm not watching the daily TNG reruns here anymore, and if a channel ever starts repeating DS9 or Voyager here I probably wouldn't watch it either. Of course, the end result will probably be that I won't be watching any television series at all anymore as I'm waiting for the DVD to come out, but fortunately the status of my wallet doesn't yet allow that :-).

Corrections

Contrary to what I reported a few days ago, GNP Crescendo's 'The Best Of Star Trek - Volume 2' CD has not yet been released. Jeff Bond at Film Score Monthly sends along word that the music samples on the Soundtrack Mag web site were intended purely as a preview, apparently, but that the CD itself is not yet out.

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was both the 47th birthday of Colm Meaney (Miles O'Brien) and the 52nd birthday of Michael Piller, co-creator of DS9 and Voyager, and writer of 'Insurrection'.
