Slight recasting of the thought, but my attempt:
rInmo’ Discovery. DaHjaj HaSta much vIbejbogh tu’lu’be’.
“Because DIS is finished, there is nothing to watch today.”
But this misses the conveyance of the sense of “anticipation” that has been lost; but perhaps adding something like:
vIbejmeH pagh neHbogh tu’lu’mo’, jISeybe’. [jISeyHa’, tell us how you really feel…]
“Because there is nothing that I want to watch, I’m unexcited.”
Hmmm…
rIn Discovery, Hasta much vIbejmeH DaHjaj pagh vIneHbogh tu’lu’. vaj jISeybe’.
