List Only! Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

"Unimatrix Zero" (parts I & II)

Much of the time Voyager was problematic. But they definitely pulled out all the stops on the Borg episodes they did. :techman:
 
"The Gamesters of Triskelion" last Saturday night.
"A Piece of the Action" last night.

Since MeTV began running TOS-R episodes, I rarely pull out my DVDs. It is like being a kid again, waiting every week for ST to come on TV.

It definitely takes us back to the syndication days when episodes were butchered to add more commercial time. I tried to watch the MeTV broadcasts but the cuts are just brutal. YMMV.

While I agree with your point, when I saw TOS in my youth, it was cut the same way. The sheer joy of waiting each week for another episode outweighs the editing, for me. 1080p color television now wins over my blurry 13" black and white experience back then, as well!
 
1966-69: 50 minutes (51 with next week's brief teaser)
1970s and '80s: 46-1/2 minutes
1990's: 44-1/2 minutes
2000's: 43-1/2 minutes
2010's: 43 minutes

Any chance to slip in another jeans or car commercial. 7 minutes of a fifty-minute episode is already gone and that's one-seventh of the entire story content sacrificed for a little more ad revenue. I like MeTV a lot and watch TOS Remastered on the channel pretty frequently, but the original show is so butchered to pieces with missing scenes and bad editing that you're better off streaming on Netflix or getting the discs.
