What are you doing to prepare for the second half of Season 1?

[GeekUSACarl]

The system was mad that you were nervous that tonight's episode might not be fricken good!

I'm sure it will be. I mean a cliffhanger and a mid season break, it really should be. It'd be kinda silly to blow you're hype shot on a crap episode.

Don't make me nervous. Now you're making me nervous...

Doesn't it strike anyone as odd to even have a mid season break ? To the best of my knowledge, it only happens in the U.S.

Strikes me as odd, and stupid all at once.

I've never eatched a show that does this, what other US shows do?

I think quite a few of the US shows I watch do, if not all of them.
For instance, all the arrowverse shows have been off from the middle of December and are back mid Jan (or later here), but Once Upon A Time ended mid December and isn't back in March if I'm understanding correctly.

It seems like most US shows now have a mid season break...regular broadcast, cable, etc.

Seems weird, but whatever.

Pretty sure going all the way back to nuBSG this was a thing. I hated it!

walking dead is on their mid-season break now :-/

Good thing I don't watch a lot of network tv. That would drive me nuts

 

[Greg Cox]

Mid-season breaks are a thing now, enough so that shows hype their "fall finale!" (I.e. we're going away for a few weeks so here's a cliffhanger to tide you over.)

Shows always had winter hiatuses (hiati?), though. Typically there was a 4-6 week span between December-January of repeats. It was never sensationalized in the way it is today, as you mention. That's also a product of today's serialized shows.

I set my DVR to record the episode—because I can.

(Canada—the only country in the world where new Trek is available the old fashioned way)

 

[Greg Cox]

You know one thing everone could do is use this free time to watch "Orville" and compare. See witch show holds up the best to repeat viewings. Jason

Too much new stuff to watch in the meantime. Besides, it's not a competition.

Make Starfleet Great Again

Excuse me while I throw up. I can't believe I just said that, even in jest (I'm about as Anti-Trump as you can get).

You sir win the internet!

(Although shouldn’t that be Worff? )

I'm guessing Jake Sisko ghost-wrote it.
