All I can get is a slideshow on my DSL, and I think CBS doesn't know who to compress video it looks like they are streaming full broadcast quality video but if you have fast enough connection(s) you can see some old Star Trek episodes from the first three seasons (hmmm... there weren't more than 3 seasons I don't think) at

Ha! Great find!
We're currently renting the original series via Netflix to go through them all. Very fun.

heh - we were watching the anime "Avatar" the other day (really enjoying it - lighter than the usual more-adult animes we've seen lately) and thought the voice of the warden on an island prison was familiar...
sure enough... George Takei!

Taking a brief haitus from the planet of Biskelion, it's TWO SAKS!
C'mon back TS and play a few games some Sat night, the place just doesn't feel like home without the sight of your royal blue body parts scattered all over the place, and hearing the comfy >crunch< of your dorf heads under foot.

Wow, that's amazing. But -- I have all three seasons on DVD! It's so awesome! Duffiek and I watched "Errand of Mercy" last night. What a coincidence. I'd say the odds of that happening are about 7824.7 to one.
TS, yes, do come back! Why have you been gone so long? Oh, and I think it's spelled "Scotty."

I think he was referring to the advanced canine species which coincidentally evolved to near-human form on Ruffus VII. I think there was a "Scottie" of that species on a Voyager Christmas Special or something. Never saw it.

heh. "canine species" on "Ruffus VII". I get it.
ps. Any trek fans see Galaxy Quest? I just saw it last week and wasn't expecting to like it - but thought it did a decent job of parodying the phenom of a show like trek and some of the personalities.

Galaxy Quest is so funny on so many levels, and is extremely well written. A gem on my Top 20 for sure.
The music is great too.
