Ep #84 (the one in which David first locks Vicki in the room) was shown on November 23, 1992, May 25, 1995, and July 19, 2001 - and Ep #85 (the one in which Bill Malloy's ghost appears to Vicki) was also shown on November 23, 1992, and then on May 26, 1995 and July 20, 2001.
After Sci-Fi brought DS back in '99, they played all sorts of fast and loose with its schedule. As I said, it started out on January 4, 1999 with two eps a day at 11/11:30am ET and with Eps #189 & #190. Then beginning on July 17, 2000 and with Ep #953, they changed DS to one ep a day at 9am ET. Then beginning on October 2, 2000 and with Ep #1006, they remained with one ep a day but at 10am ET. Then beginning on January 29, 2001 DS went back to two ep a day, starting with Eps #1087 & #1088, and it remained at two eps a day for the rest of its time on Sci-Fi.
I don't have any notations about other time slot changes after that, but it's quite possible that DS moved back to 11/11:30am ET at some point and I was just so sick of marking down time changes that I never bothered to mark it. By that point we were getting angered by the way Sci-Fi was handling DS, particularly how they seemed to love to take the show off the schedule for weeks at a time. (The worst example of that was how DS was off from Monday, November 25, 2002 through Friday, December 13, 2002 - and then for good measure for another week and a half from Monday, December 23, 2002 through Wednesday, January 1, 2003. During that time Eps #740 through #749 were all that Sci-Fi deemed us worthy enough to see the week of Monday, December 16, 2002 through Friday, December 20, 2002. Lucky us. ) If Sci-Fi hadn't preempted DS so often, there would have been no reason why they couldn't have shown Eps #1228 through #1245 in 2003.
