Even its script writer, Brannon Braga, called it "a terrible episode" and "a royal, steaming stinker" in the DVD commentary. Some fans have even nominated it as the worst Trek episode ever.
All previous Trek series on one network!
- Thread starter The Old Mixer
- Start date
When they start airing it, maybe I'll change the title, if the thread stays active.They added TAS. So, all 6 trek series.
Amen!New things are stupid.
He probably thought it was the best thing ever when he wrote it...he just came to regret it later given its reception.
Followed by the comparably derided "A Night in Sickbay," no less!
The original pitch for the story came from Michael De Luca, but after the VOY writing staff started adding their own ideas into the mix, the actual script for the episode wound up being written (and rewritten a few times) by Braga who has since called it an episode he'd like to forget.
This Sunday, 4 September, they're playing Trek documentaries starting around 1pm, leading up to the premiere of TAS! One of the documentaries being shown is one I haven't seen before, Leonard Nimoy's Star Trek Memories!
I love what H&I has done with Trek. I really do!

TAS is airing on H&I as I type this, so I've changed the thread title in the event that this thread sees further action.
This is cool. Guinan just referenced every fiber in her being.

H&I is adjusting their weeknight schedule starting this Monday...the Trek shows will now air in a solid block starting at 8 with TOS, much as they've already been doing on Sundays (minus TAS). They'll be preceded by Hercules and Xena at 6 and 7, and followed by a couple of cop shows in the wee hours. (All times EST.)
Fios shows all of ST shows in my area
You're lucky. As of 1/1/17, Fios no longer carries H&I at all (downstate NY).
Well that sucks. I am originally from NY

Thank you for posting this! I love when they do this. It's kind of a way to celebrate Trek since I wasn't able to go to Comic Con or the Las Vegas one this weekend!
N.P. They're calling it Trektacular Sunday, FWIW.
ETA: And it looks like sister network Decades is going to be playing some of the same programming on Aug. 15.

Saw the ad last night for the Sunday programming, and I did not realize that H&I had never played "The Cage" before!
