On one weekend recently TV1 decided to run a StarTrek Deep Space Nine marathon starting from around 7:30pm on Friday to about the same time on Saturday. It was great, I could put my feet up and code, do a bit of house work and all the time indulge in one of my favorite pastimes which is watching science fiction television.
Its kind of sad that the only time I get to do this is when my wife is away because she isn't really a big fan of the genre. Ironically she really likes StarGate the movie but detests the series - go figure! Personally I really look forward to the double episode on Thursday night.
What Australia really needs is a sci-fi channel with 24/7 sci-fi. It would be like the Comedy channel only it wouldn't suck. I am already a Foxtel Digital subscriber and I'd happily give up another channel for this priv.
