« on: September 02, 2003, 04:22:27 PM »
Did anyone else watching DS on SciFi this morning see a repeat of last week's final episode?

Okay... as the credits rolled for #1087 my screen went blue and I thought perhaps SciFi was fixing the mistake.  But no, next came what should have been today's 1st episode.  Or maybe I'm imagining things-- can anyone confirm that an ep was shown twice in a row?

Well, if it's not Stargate, the godawful Scare Tactics or one of those horrible mini-series they push down our throats twice a year, I don't think Sci-Fi much cares what's on their channel the rest of the time.  :P :-X

I just hope they don't try to correct this snafu by skipping an episode to catch up with their schedule.

Thanks for confirming this, dom. Looks like I'll have to redo today's montage...

Although - is there any possibility this mixup was only on the West Coast feed?

Bernie replied on the Shadows list that he saw the same thing on the East coast.

OK, great. Well, not great - but you know what I mean. ;)

I checked the Sci Fi site and no episodes will be skipped. They list episode #861 (#1087) on both the schedule for August 29thth & September 2nd. Weird.

THE BAD NEWS...
Sci Fi is pre-empting DS during most of October...it's only airing on October 13th & October 20th - 30th, according to their online schedule. It's also being pre-empted on the 31st. Various daily marathons are airing in it's time slot during the rest of October.

I'm in the Atlanta area, and I thought that I had rewound my tape too far!  Glad to know that it was the same old program!  Thanks[hello] :D

Where are they getting these bodies, Mulder,  are they making them?

Well, Halloween is no surprise because Sci-Fi has pre-empted DS at least three other times on Halloween. But the marathons during the first half of October are somewhat surprising. That's something they generally do during school vacations. But there are no school breaks during the first half of October, except on Columbus Day - and DS is actually on THAT day. Go figure...

If I remember correctly, back in the early days Sci Fi routinely pre-empted blocks of programming just to show old horror flicks during the month of October.

I always thought that was the best stuff they showed on the station, back then.

Now they're probably planning to show blocks of their self-produced TV movies.

Spare us.  ::)

If Sci-Fi sticks to the posted schedule (which I suppose we can assume they will) September 30th's second episode will only be #1128, which in real time is less than a month into 1840. ;) The first 1840 episode (#1110) will run on September 17th.
