Anyone got that new set yet? I think I am going to get it this week.

It looks like Spike has dumped TNG, and I don't see it on G4 either. Shame.

May have to start renting all the series and *ahem* watch them. I think that shall be the only way I ever have ST on demand.

I wonder why TNG is the only series they have NONE of on Live Marketplace?

Hmm, interesting. I wonder if someone bought the license?

Spike had a ten year deal to show Star Trek shows (TNG, DS9, and Voy only) IIRC. That was signed when they were "The New TNN" . They should still have a few years left on it.

The deal is odd.

I can't remember when it started, but let's say in 2000 they got TNG rights, then they got the DS9 rights in 2003, and Voyager rights in 2006. TNG rights ran out before hand, that's why so much Voyager is on because they will have that until the deal ends.

But it does suck that we go from a few channels showing TNG to maybe one, Nick @ Nite.

yea I noticed this too...no more TNG.... DS9 has been shafted to 2am in the morning... and voyager, voyager, voyager :(

nope... Although cheaper then the 700+ dollars I spent 5 years ago, with the HD-DVD set of ToS HD coming out next month, I might as well save for that since I don't have ToS to begin with. Paramount has stated if ToS HD sales are successful, then you can bet we will get TNG HD. Maybe this is why Spike is no longer showing it. Perhaps Paramount has a TNG HD Surprise coming soon :O

Illogical.

Vulcans do not wear sweaters.

I thought those would be good reasons to bump this topic again.

Startrek.com is supposedly being shut down :(

Where did you hear that? That would suck. Although, I use Memory Alpha the most for my Trek info.

BTW, I have been watching a lot of Voyager lately and it is a lot better than I remembered. I'm really getting into it. I even downloaded some episodes on Live Marketplace.

yea and I heard starwars.com was supposedly being shut down :(

pfff.... where did you hear that crap from?

I seriously doubt startrek.com is shutting down. With a new movie out next year and TOS HD on the air (whenever my local station decides to freaking put it on :( ) who knows... if the movie is *successful* paramount might just give it another shot with a new series. If the movie tanks, I say by 2010 no one will care for Trek anymore.

Startrek.com isn't being shut down, but CBS fired their entire staff. There's a post about it on their news, at least there was.

er?

This wouldn't happen to be related to the writers strike would it? I doubt it.

No it's not related to the writer's strike, since that only covers TV.
I guess CBS want to change the Star Trek website, which is too bad because it's a really good site, easily one of the best official websites I've ever seen.

yea I liked the site too.. it was nicely made up and free...vs the starwars.com stuff which they MAKE you pay for the good stuff :(. Damn, I was really hoping for a teaser trailer for the new star trek movie, even though it's still a year out.
