Late night Trek viewing
- Thread starter amdmiami
- Start date
Yup, that is beginning to become my ritual as I head back to college. I watch DS9 every night before I go to bed and it helps me sleep.
Well, I would, if I had a girlfriend, and/or wife... !

Having a girlfriend and a wife would be sweet.
Especially if they both like to do the nasty while watching Trek. I've never had a three way while watching Trek. If anybody has, let me know how it went. It gets lonely sometimes, late at night.....
**sigh**
Well, I did have a girlfriend last year, but that didn't work out well. Kind of sad, I wish it would have. I really liked her.
Watching Trek late at night brings me back to high school when I would stay up to watch TOS (this was before TNG) at midnight. Those were the days.
Can't do it too much anymore since I now have responsibilities that require me to get to sleep earlier but when I do get the chance...oh my the fond memories.
In the mid 1970s when I was in college, the local station used to run the original shows very late on Friday or Saturday night. That's how I first saw most of them. It was a great time.
Hell, I still watch TOS, the remastered episodes every Sunday night at 9:00 and 10:00pm on SciFi channel. Central time.
Back during the summer of 02, I'd stay up until 1 am watching TNG re-runs on TNN (now known as Spike) and sometimes I'd stay up until 2 and catch the Voyager re-run on Fox. That summer kicked ass.
Sadly, I've never done anything similar again. The closest thing was a couple of years ago when I watched a TOS-R episode at 3 am.

Part of my unwind ritual when I get home from work. Grab something to eat, a drink and sit down to an episode of DS9. These days it's which ever sci-fi series I'm checking out.
I usually watch Trek or Stargate (I started making my way through this series after Enterprise was cancelled). I watched "First Flight" the other night and will be watching "The Royale" tonight. I like to pop one in after the wife and kids have gone to sleep. I reminds of the the days when I watched TOS late at night growing up. It really does help me unwind.
When I was younger, my best friend and I would watch 2-3 episodes during our many sleepovers. We only had the episodes taped from TV at our disposal. Quality would vary from tape to tape, especially with TOS. Many fond memories of watching classics such as "Corbomite, "Balance of Terror," "Doomsday Machine" with a distorted picture and riddled with syndiciation cuts.
As a high school student, when the Sci-Fi channel aired TOS in 1998-1999, I would routinely watch the 11:30 EST airings. They were an hour and a half with commercials and exclusive interviews. I taped many of the episodes, but not all. These airings featured the last televised interviews with DeForest Kelley and other content never re-released on all DVD sets to date.
My of late night Trek viewing is never really been in abeyance since then. Lately, on account of owning all televised Trek on DVD, I have been screening random episodes and movies late Sat, early Sunday either by myself or with my girlfriend. However, she is more receptive to DS9, VOY, or ENT rather than TOS or TNG.
I agree with many posters above that watching Trek and retreating into that whimsical, often optimistic universe is a fine way to conclude a long week and to mellow oneself.
