Do not adjust your set...

This is a UK TV announcement: Channel One has vanished. :(

Except, they didn't actually announce anything, and I only discovered this when I put the telly on today and there was nothing there but a black screen saying it's gone. Poof. Bye Bye. Google informs me it's because Sky bought it from Virgin Media, and decided to scrap it. *sigh* Maybe it

Go, you! Glasses and DS! I'm so psyched to know you're rewatching. I had to miss the fall chat-rewatch, and I felt so out of the game.

However, all this time while I've been away, for reasons I shall explain soon, I have been working on my art, which invariably means RayK and Fraser (mostly) get sketched while I'm doing other things, because I have to sketch every day as practice anyway, right? :) I am now back in school and also back doing fannish things, and I am finding ways to schedule both in.

Nice to see you! And sorry to hear about the TV channel. I've never understood the British system, so I don't really know what one channel means, but it looks as though it, like our TV, is changing. I don't see that as a bad thing. The "loss" of TV channels is just a result of the great shift in how we get our media. I for one will be glad to see the end of the era in which the "powers that be" think they can just feed us whatever they're cooking. We have a choice now, and things aren't going back to the way they were. We're not a passive audience any more.

I have a ton of ST:TOS DVDs and would gladly send them to you...if you could play NTSC video...and if it wouldn't be a ridiculous number of boxes... But I don't think I have much in the way of Next Gen ones. Want some Next Gen action figures? :)

JS! Hiiii! Nice to see you, too. :D And good to hear you're getting back into the fannish swing of things. RayK and Fraser are still being sketched by your talented hand, this pleases me! ;)

I'm at S2 of DS already - I never seem to be able to stop at watching just one episode at a time, I end up whizzing through seasons - so it won't be long before RayK & Fraser are filling my dreams again. This ALSO pleases me. *g*

As for the TV, I don't really understand it much myself. There is a replacement channel up and running already which appears to be showing nothing but old game shows, and wrestling. (WTF!?!) Not quite holding the same appeal as what was there before, that's for sure.

Oh, that's okay about the dvds (and action figures? How cool! :) I've got them on my to-buy list, I'll get around to them eventually. But thank you for the kind offer!
