That's neat that the WP is starting to watch from Episode #1, and the days coincide exactly with how they were in 1966!

yes it is, though i'm watching wise well i'm a LOT farther than that. episode #352 i  believe. ya know, each time i come on here. this little project where we discuss each episode is NEVER on track to where I am during the series. !  


it's either to early on in the show. or to late. but NEVER in the right area! am i the only one this happens too?

B.Collins, the Watching Project topics still exist for all episodes it has covered so far.  The topic for episode 352 is in Current Talk for the second half of 2007:

Discuss - Ep #0352

I'm always interested in seeing what else people have to say!

It will pretty cool when all the episodes have Watching Project topics.  Of course that will also mean that this particular Project is finished, but you can't have everything.  By my reckoning, this Watching Project will finish up around about the time that the movie comes out, so we'll have something else to occupy our minds.

[B.Collins]

you know they way i look at it. if that is from (2007) than it has NEVER ended! 

& i think all of us here would be really dissapointed if it did end.

we'd just start over again from episode #1 anyways. i'm just to lazy to look up that episode at the moment. he he. so i don't mind talking about the 1st episodes at the moment.

i still have yet to get the whole series on dvd! he he. i wonder how many members are in my boat?

i have 12 Volumes left to get. so that means i have 20 volumes. since i belive there's 32 volumes.

i'm also thrilled that it hasn't been released on blu-ray at all really because the prices for the dvd's can get pretty high. & for the blu-ray's they'd even get even MORE ridiculas!  just look at the
Best Buy Prices on the offical website!

i started getting the volumes in (2004)  & i STILL haven't gotten the whole series!

sorry for going off topic a bit here by the way. as for watching wise i only watched one episode tonite i thinki it was?   but thanxs for letting me know though about that thread here.

By my reckoning, this Watching Project will finish up around about the time that the movie comes out

If we take breaks in a similar fashion to the way we have in the past, Ep #209 will come up exactly on May 11, 2012.  

i think all of us here would be really disappointed if it did end.

we'd just start over again

If people want to continue on with Ep #210 and beyond again, I don't see anything wrong with that. After all, in its various incarnation the forum has already gone through three showings of DS on the Sci-Fi Channel and this Project, so what's another go-round? And besides, every time you watch DS you're always bound to see something new. Plus different people may even join in...

[B.Collins]

i agree, "DS" is a show that has a LOT of faults in it. but a LOT of good shows do to be fair.

there are certain actors & actresses at times in various arcs that just drive me batty. cause on how bad their acting is. DS is a show that had a LOT of bad acting it. now don't get me wrong it also had  LOT OF good acting on it as well. but sometimes you just wondered why some people were even hired to even be on the show?  plus it's fun to hear the actor or actress flub their lines.


one thing i liked was "KLS" saying in an interview that she saw an episode she was in. & from filming it she remembered how bad the mess ups in lines could at times be. mind you this is something along the lines she said maybe NOT the exact quote let me add

& she was surprised on it not showing in the result. cause she thought & was afraid on how some stuff turned out while filming i believe is what she meant. not because she thought the show was bad or anything like that. i thought that was interesting & a little funny that she thought that. plus i don't blame her either.


mind you i'm not sure on how she said it exactly but it was something along the lines of that. i just didn't want people to think i was putting words in her mouth that's all. as it sometimes can happen on varoius sites ya know?

[Mysterious Benefactor]

Actually, when I said that every time you watch DS, you're bound to see something new, I was referring to fantastic moments you might have missed, like a knowing or heated glance between characters, or the expression on an actor's face when they deliver a certain line. Little fleeting things that really contribute to a scene and to the show as a whole.    The show really does become more enjoyable with each repeated viewing...
