Star Trek Enterprise

[:]

My brother has requested that I ask anyone here (well you Americans mainly) if they could tape Star Trek Enterprise that shows on UPN. He is willing to pay (I think - actually I have no idea, but I'll get back to you) for these episodes to be posted to him here in Australia.
Just a tapefull at a time - about 2 episodes or whatever fits on a regular VHS tape at a time is fine. If anybody is willing to take this responsibility.... you know the drill.

Hmm... I MIGHT be able to do it...

[#2 :]

does australia use ntsc or do you have a recorder that plays it? (just wondering, can't help)

[#3 :]

ntsc? Hm, my brother works at SBS (tv station) in the new-media department, so I'm sure any sort of tape you have he could find a player for it... But I'll ask up about it.

Kryten: Would it help if I complimented you on your Avy?

It's Paul's, compliment him!
 

And I'll let you know if I tape it.

Australia uses the PAL system, Some VCR's will play US tapes so I'm sure a TV station would have no problem.
I look forward to the show being on here in the UK, no doubt in a year or twos time.

Kryten: okay... when does it start again? If you do record it, I'll email you the essential details yadda yadda all of that stuff - or I'll put you thru to my brother.

I think September 26 is the premiere.

Why can't I take the Quantum Leap guy seriously as a space captain?

That's what they said about Hawk from "Spenser for Hire"...

[#10 :]

Who?

[#11 :]

Avery Brooks. He played Hawk, Spenser's sidekick, in "Spenser" and its spinoff "A Man Called Hawk".

[#12 :]

Ah, Avery Brooks, the man who blows Shatner out of the water and gives Patrick Stewart a run for his money.  What's he doing now?  Last I saw he was doing IBM commercials.

I think he played Paul Robeson in a TV-movie. He was also in "American History X", wasn't he?

[#14 :]

Went to IMDB.com . . .

He's been the narrator in a bunch of stuff recently . . . he was in American History X, The Big Hit, and 15 Minutes.

[#15 :]

LOL, whats amusing is that, if you had tried this, the tapes would have been buggerd by the X-Ray machines that most all international post would go through. 

[#16 :]

Enterprise is a great show, it's going with the true traditions of Star Trek, unlike DS9 that didn't and thankfully B5 came along and showed what a Space Station series should be like.

Paul, there can be no excuse for making such a comment...

Also, taping...

]PaulFSAC[, I am not a big Star Trek fan but I have to say I like DS9, even though at some points it is like Babylon 5 light, later on they actually tried to have some creative plots and great characters arcs. Compared to Voyager which just seemed not to be trying.

I saw two episodes of Enterprise... thought it just was Voyager with baseball caps.

That's actually a good comparison. But Enterprise has a man as captain...   

*waits to be beaten up by every female PEELer*

[#20 :]

*beats Gocad up then kicks him a few times*

[#21 :]

Stop hitting air! 

[#22 :]

Why dont you just download the eps as DivX. Im already 1 season ahead of terrestrial UK.

Enterprise is fantastic and well worth the watch just for Jolene.

[#23 :]

Hey, Kip, this thread was started in Sep 2001!

[#24 :]

Holy cow, that is ages ago. Still I only started watching Enterprise June last year... I've got every ep on my hard drive in YGDivX encode. Schweeeet or wot?

[#25 :]

Wow that was an old thread...

[#26 :]

How do you figure that?  The episode of Enterprise that aired in the UK this week only aired in the US on February 26th.  According to my inofrmation we're only four episodes behind now.

I have to say this show's growing on me.  I didn't like it much during the first season, but the second season's had some good episodes.  And Linda Park is cute!

[#27 :]

Well, i dont have sky or digital tv. s1 just finished running int he UK, so by the time s2 hits terrestrial i'll have every ep of s2 - only 4 weeks to go until season finalle.

Increased talk of the show being axed though... not good.

EDIT: Linda Park? Meh... Not nearly as cute or sexy as Jolene Blalock...

[#28 :]

It's not being axed.  There will be a third season.  That's been confirmed.

[#29 :]

Woo! More Jolene Blalock!

[#30 :]

...and once Jolene's been crushed to death under a stampede of her own fans, we Linda Park fans will be safe to hold a "We love Linda!" meeting in a New York phone booth.   

[#31 :]

third season perhaps, but after than who knows? Farscape was brutally axed. Enterprise certainly isnt getting the audience or respect that was intended.

All hail Jolene! She is a damn FINNNNE woman. She does Tai Kickboxing you know... and surfs... so not a scrap of cellulite on her.

You might have a little too much wasted space in a 'phone booth.

You're right.  Linda and me are both so small you could just lock us in a wardrobe, where we'd make our own entertainment.

And after that the show will be axed because it's too expensive ... for UPN.

[#35 :]

I take it one of those girls is tupal, whose the other? Hoshi?

[#36 :]

Jolene is T'Pol.
Linda is Hoshi.

And I'd give my left fingernail tips to see them barenaked fighting.

[#37 :]

Just let me enjoy that fantasy for a minute...

Mmm... 

[#38 :]

In the first or second ep, there was a really hot scene involving T'pol and Trip in the Decon chamber.

[#39 :]

Oh yeah. They had to rub this stuff on each other in order to prevent infections or something.
