Ok, pick the episode you would like to watch and comment on for this coming Saturday's Netflix/Skype viewer party (no XBOX needed). I'm setting the record time for 3pm eastern time on Saturday. Vote away!
Wow, my late TNG episode knowledge isn't as solid as I thought it was, I don't recognize many of these! If I can follow along on the DVD I'd be glad to join.
A DVD should work ok too. We will attempt to get everyone in sync.
Genesis? Watch out, everybody who can't make it may vote and force you to watch that one! Lol
"Genesis" was a Jobydrone suggestion. Actually the whole list is based on suggestions from forum folks - except for one of them that I added in.
Can't find a S7 ep named "Homeworld", do you mean "Homeward"?

Yep - sorry about that. I edited the episode title.
Good TNG episode guide here:

Actually I think it may be a great one for a group viewing. Not the most complex of plots but I'm sure it will generate plenty of comments.
That ep creeps me out.
Well I didn't vote for it in the end, I went with the ep that is my favourite on the list and its looks like it's not just my favourite so far! :)

Me too! Now don't have a heart attack anyone but I think I can make this call! Got me some Skype and Netflix streaming so count me in. I don't care what episode, I'll go with whatever Dan likes. :)
Looks like I can make this call, we just can't delay too long on the call as I have work 2 hours after this call starts, but we should be fine :)

DOH! I just realized you meant 1PM Western time and 3PM eastern. I'm definitely good to go then :)
King
I'm really disappointed I wont be able to be there for this. Going to be camping at the Philadelphia Folk Festival for five days starting tomorrow. No internet for me there, so I'll see you all on Monday! Have fun!
No Joby, but maybe Bryan?! On a weekend?!?!?! Next up, pigs will fly! :roflmao

Maybe Bryan got an iPad mount for his bike so he can watch/participate while he's riding :)

FTW, Joe!!!!!! I voted for Genesis, that epsiode is wierd and kind of goofy, looking forward to roasting it!
I voted for homeward.....
Darn, I start work on Saturday. Otherwise I would love to join in the fun.
I guess I should have mentioned but, in case of a tie in votes, I will make the final call on what episode we watch.

Clearly, I do not understand the Timezones yet. Still, 12 is fine.

I think I'm gonna give this skype chat a go on my MacBook Pro...see how that goes :)
Just a reminder for this, please make sure you have a headset that works and use it. We can't have the sound from the episode playing in multiple places that can be picked up by your mics.

If you don't have an actual headset, as long as you're wearing headphones you can use the on board mic. The goal is to not have the show audio being picked up by the mic.

That's right, I should be good to go.
Do we know when the voting closes? I feel like it'd be a more entertaining commentary if we can watch the ep 'clean' before the call.
I should be there, but I may have to drop in and out (doing some work from home that day).
i won't be able to join the party, but i would choose Timescape.
my knowledge of season 7 is somewhat limited. not quite sure if i remember any of the others on the list.
I'll run voting until about noon my time tomorrow. And don't forget, the Skype/Netflix (or DVD) party cast starts at 3pm eastern daylight time tomorrow (Sat., Aug. 20th).
Can't wait!
Last call for this voting. It looks like we probably have a pretty clear winner to watch later today.
it still time ti vote

never mind it look like we got a winner
soo i got netflix i got skype lets rock this joint
I have netflix and skype too....... what is the episode?
So, the winner is "Timescape." Get ready to watch that episode in about 2 hours. The plan will be to pause the episode a few seconds into the show and then I will do a little countdown and we can all resume playing it. Again, make sure there won't be any audio sound from the episode coming from speakers or anything else that your mic can pick up. Talk to you all soon.
I have you in my Skype address book and I have the episode loaded up!
Thanks guys! That was a lot of fun!! Definitely be doing another one in a couple months. :biggrin
Nice. I took the exact same screenshot.
:( I lost my internet & cable & telephone all day at home. Had to run in to the office to handle some work, so couldn't make this. The whole neighborhood was out. At first I suspected Verizon guys on strike - but then say a huge tree had knocked down the lines outside of my development - with the lineman all at work.
I'll have to wait a few months for the next live show. I can't seem to make these for some reason.
>:(

You will have to do another in a couple months Rico, cause I wanted to be there, but I had my first day of driving tractor for harvest yesterday, all day, and I still have yet to turn back on my Netflix. Sounds like you guys had great fun though.
