How do you re-watch DS9?

I've not watched the whole thing through since the DVD sets came out and we did it here in the forum.

I should do that sometime.

But as things are now, I usually just watch individual eps I like - especially stuff like In the Pale Moonlight, Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast, Favor the Bold/Sacrifice of Angels, The Wire, Treachery Faith and the Great River, The Siege of AR-558 & It's Only a Paper Moon, The Visitor, or What You Leave Behind.

I think the last episodes of DS9 I watched were a run through Favor the Bold/Sacrifice of Angels.
 
Not quite re-watching, but something I've been doing with the episodes recently: I've been converting them to sound-only files and putting them on my MP3 player to listen to at work. So far I've only done Civil Defense and Improbable Cause/The Die Is Cast, but it's a good way to keep myself entertained with DS9! :)

I suspect this practice works best with episodes you know well and/or talky episodes. ;)
 
I've been doing that with some films on DVD and lately with Trek as well. I just put them on in the background and listen to them while I work. It works very well IMHO but the tv show re. the movie needs to be suitable. Action flicks e.g. are not so good.
 
^ Good idea. Most of these episodes I know so well it would be easy to listen to them and remember what's going on.

Might not be able to visualize it exactly, but I suspect the dialog would be enough to bring more details of the episode into memory.

usually I put my dvd into the dvd player and let it run to the main menu, select the episode I wish to watch, and hit enter. :)
Put the DVD INTO the DVD player!? :brickwall: :o I yelled at the thing for hours to play my DVDs but it just sat there with a smug air of indifference.
 
All the way through, skipping only a handful of eps I'm not nuts about. I probably skip the least amount of eps of DS9 than any other ST series.
 
I usually watch it from beginning to end. But since I don't care for all of the episodes during the first couple seasons I'll sometimes start watching from the time Worf came aboard.

My ribs, my ribs! :p

Nice Mork and Mindy reference there. My Mom has laughed like that at corny jokes for about 20 years. I thought we were the only ones to laugh like that at corny jokes.
 
I tend to watch from beginning to end of the series, except for maybe skipping some of the more painful episodes. Occasionally, I'll watch a particular favorite on its own.

Frankly, it doesn't matter what you said.

I can't friggin' believe you're BACK!!!! :eek:

Where the HELL have you been????

Anyway, I sure hope you decide to stay. ;)
 
:lol: Thanks.

How have you been?

I've been posting a little here and there, but mostly in gaming threads. Gaming and work seems to take up most of my time, but I've been slowly getting back into Trek again with TOS and DS9. I've also added most of TNG to my Netflix queue.
 
^ Well, you need to post in HERE, regardless.

I thought we already went over this. :scream:

Anyway...seriously, good to see you. Have you graduated yet? Still living in Spud-land? You've been gone for so long that I've lost track!

Wow, you are a very welcome blast from the past! :)
