Next Week's Triad of ST: Deep Space-Much Better

[Photon]

• The Forsaken
  
  
  
  -- Odo and Lwaxanna Troi come to a mutual understanding when a computer malfunction causes them to become trapped in a turbolift.
• Dramatis Personae
  
  
  
  -- An alien "telepathic matrix" causes the DS9 crew to re-enact an ancient power struggle, leading Kira to attempt mutiny and overthrow Sisko.
• Duet
  
  
  
  
  -- Kira hopes to find justice when she arrests a believed Cardassian war criminal responsible for the genocide at a horrific Bajoran labor camp.

I like all 3 episodes. Odo saves the day in The Forsaken
Duet one of the best, in Trek

This show deserves a lot better than to be aired at 2 in the morning.

Damn Straight!

Still, I gotta feeling this will be its last run on Spike and will transfer over to SCI-FI (like TNG) and they already ENT running. Spike can keep Voyager.

If that's the case, let's hope SCI-FI gives the show better treatment. Spike is weak.

Just buy the show on DVD.

Not everybody has $200 to drop on some DVDs.

I really like Dramatis Personae. Brooks' performance here isn't quite on par with his portrayal of Dr Noah, but it is very entertaining.

That's not going to happen. TNG on Sci-fi is already all mixed up, nd will be ending in September to make from for Lost.

Re: Damn Straight!

Dramatis Personae is one of the 5 eps that continue to elude me. I wish I could afford the DVDs...

Here in the UK, thanks to the fact that the rights have transferred from Sky to Virgin One they're making a big deal out of the show. Episodes in an early evening timeslot every day, repeats of those episodes on Saturday afternoons and they're actually advertising it!

Virgin One are gradually getting the rights to TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. Sky One still seem to be padding out their schedules with the little bits of Enterprise they've got left, though.

True. Well, record from Spike or purchase used. I got most of DS9 used from FYE or Amzon for $20 - $25 a season and they were like-brand new, official Paramount DVDs.

I still haven't forgiven Virgin1 for suddenly ending DS9's weeknight run in March. They got to the season 5 finale and just stopped... Only having freeview, I don't have many options of when I watch DS9, so I ended up getting the slimline DVDs. Well worth the £30 for seasons 6 and 7 when it meant I didn't have to see that promo for The Unit for the 837th time

 

[PKTrekGirl]

The Forsaken sorta blows. But the other two are good!

 

[Robotech Master]

I don't mind The Forsaken... it's an average episode, nothing too offensive.

It is another one of those episodes, common in the first two seasons, that seems to say, "look we can still do TNG stories!"

I know upon re watching these first 2 they do have a TNG-like feel.

Agreed. In fact, both Avery Brooks' and Nana Visitor's performances almost feel like a warmup for their mirror-universe counterparts - retroactively speaking, that is.

Yes! I love Dramatis Personae. It's one of the better early ones, but NOTHING compares to Duet. Only the best episodes still make me have the same reaction as I did when I saw them for the first time.

I have the lot on DVD, but it's nice to see Star Trek on TV and being promoted.

In addition to Virgin 1's showings, another Virgin Media channel, Bravo, is showing random two parters edited together as films on Fridays. They've shown "The Best of Both Worlds" and "Shockwave" so far with "Scorpion" next.
