the delphic expanse

Yay for Rewatch Par-tay! Join your fellow Enterprisers for a weekly ongoing discussion of each episode of our favorite Trek!

Beginning February 1, 2011, a thread will be posted here in "2011 Series Rewatch Party!" for the week's episode for squee, critique, gushing, griping, and all-around fangrrrrl/boi-ing. Watch the show with fresh eyes, or look back on it from the end of a full four-year run -- after ten long years, don't be surprised if you discover something you never noticed before. (Or forgot about, for those of us with CRS )

In keeping with the spirit here in The Delphic Expanse, please consider the tone of any discussion... one fan's poison can be another fan's meat, and we're here to celebrate the flailings and foibles of this, the fifth Trek series. Plus, you know... the eye candy.

Added 2/10/11: I'm also including writer and director information in each discussion thread, because I think it will be interesting to note how various episodes affected the overall run of the show and its consistency, as well as who was responsible for what.

Added 3/1/11: I will be including teleplay writer info also. Concept can be different from execution -- let's compare! (Will update a few of the episodes we've already seen and note it on the list below.)

Here's the tentative schedule for Season 1:

1. Broken Bow 1&2 -- February 1 (discussion ongoing!)

NOTE: list numbers do not match episode numbers, because of Broken Bow being 1 ep with 2 parts.

If any of these coincide with long holidays/exam weeks/Very Large Conventions/etc. let me know. Nothing is set in stone and we want to accommodate as many folks as want to take part. Discussion threads will remain open so the conversation can be ongoing. The dates above only indicate when the next episode thread will be posted.

Live chat has been suggested for those who may want to set up a date/time -- that would be very cool. This thread will be updated with any regular session information.

For those who don't have access to the episodes at home (and unfortunately, for now, those who are also within the US ), there are several online sources that post the episodes with the full legal blessings of Star Trek's current owner, CBS. Some sites work better than others, so if you don't like one, try another.

[strike]CBS.com
Fancast.com
IMDB.com[/strike]

Seeing that all the access has been yanked behind paywalls more than likely, I openly suggest YouTube. For video things. 'Cause video things are there, so YouTube is a great site for video things.

Have fun!

Hi Entkayjay!

I've created a special forum for the Re-Watch Party! I've also made this a sticky. And, I've given you mod powers in this forum, so you should be able to do stickies and announcements and the like!

Yay, thanks! I have no idea what I can do with those powers... mwahahahahah.... probably a good thing!

Cool! I'll Play.

I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm asking my question here.

I noticed that there is a link to this forum at the Archive, but when I pasted it into the search bar (I was being curious) it says I have to be logged in, I also noticed that this forum seems to be hidden when not logged in, would this be the reason? Does that makes sense?

No idea. Either Honeybee or myself will take a look at its permissions sometime tomorrow or so.

I did notice that this forum acts funny in that you don't get points when you post. Not that I thought it was a big deal because we're not doing anything with points, but I thought it was a little peculiar.

Fixed!

^ Well look at you, Miss Got Up Early!

Um, with the forum migration, that'll put a kink in the viewing timetable, won't it?

Yes. I'm thinking of moving the chat to Wed, just to be safe! The whole process shouldn't take that long, but better safe than sorry.

How is Wed for everyone? (I know it can't work for everyone, but if we get a few people that will be good!)
