I'm watching it too! The last 3 times I've seen a Star Trek film on TV were Insurrection and Nemesis x 2.

But I do find that I'm... less enthusiastic... about this one...

(side note: in case you dont know what "big brother" is its a rubish show which puts odd people in a house and they are filmed whilst the tv show operators give them embaresing, or agument, or hate inducing tasks = reality tv = me  :cry:)

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

I was suprised to see TMP on the other night to.

But after Kirk left the bridge to to kick Decker out of the Captains chair I turned the Telly off, it was a school night after all. :D

Virgin1 in the UK were doing runs of TNG, DS9 and Voyager, I haven't checked to see if they've switched back to the X-Files again.

Virgin 1 is a Freeview channel (a pleasant surprise for me). Its easy to just buy a TV with inbuilt Freeview, shouldnt be too hard to find a decent sized cheapo one. :)

Problem is that some locations don't have digital freeview yet...

On a side-note, Virgin 1 still show TNG, Voyager and DS9... I think they show Enterprise later...
And CBS Action show TOS-R!  :D
