- ISN'T SKY TRASH OR WOT?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- So the new Sky Multi-Channel package has come into effect and what
- does it now contain. O.K., including the foreign channels there is
- now around 32 channels to drool over and waste away the batteries in
- your remote control because you keep flicking through the channels to
- see what's on.
-
- Old favourites like Sky News, Eurosport, Sky Movies, U.K. Gold are
- still there. But now there are more channels such as Nickelodon,
- Bravo and Discovery. The thing that I find most rediculous is that if
- you don't subscribe the only thing that you can watch now is Eurosport,
- The Cartoon Network, TNT, CNN and the foreign channels. Ooooooh. SO
- now your have gone from `excellent choice' to no choice at all unless
- you splash out loads of money just so you can watch Simpsons and Star
- Trek. Tut!
-
- Also, the TODAY newspaper said of the Satellite awards, that the fact
- that the Simpsons was voted best cartoon show shows the deteriation of
- society in Great Britain has now reached a new low. Well, I don't know
- about everybody else but I think the Simpsons are excellent.
- (Yeah man! - Ed)
-
- Talking of Star Trek......what?......oh, wasn't I? Never mind.....
- It is rumoured (or rumored in American) in one of the Satellite magazine
- (the name is left out because they haven't paid us the advertising fee
- yet), that there is going to be another version of Star Trek with a
- different ship (Excalibur or Excelsior, I can't remember) with only a
- crew of a hundred and a fraction of the size of the Enterprise. It will
- take place about the same period of time as the Next Generation and
- Deep Space Nine so the writers can merge the crews together in some
- stories. The aliens will be more impressive, and not just blokes with
- different shaped bumps on their heads. My question is will Cheif
- O'Brien be transferred onto that ship as well?

- Gears "The Ed" Bit...
-
- Hey, has anyone noticed that Star Trek : The Next Generation was good
- for a while (you know, aliens doing stuff and the crew being attacked),
- then it entered a kind of "moral issues" phase. This was mostly in the
- 4th and 5th series. Most episodes involved a character having some kind
- of problem and ended up talking to a hundred other people about it.
- There was a sub-plot, which usually involved the Enterprise
- encountering something, but this didn't seem as important as before.
- It was as if someone had nicked the script from Eldorado and bunged it
- into the Star Trek background.
-
- And The Simpsons... what the hell do TODAY know ? Nothing. The writers
- of that article would rather go home and watch Coronation Street than
- see something funny!
