Run for Executive Producer [Archive] - The Five-Minute Forums

Asky

08-17-2004, 10:11 PM

In response to Paramount's decision to elect a new Executive Producer of Star Trek[1], I am officially announcing to the community my intention to run for this position. As I am a memebr of the Star Trek community, I will always keep the community in mind, if I am elected to this position. I swear, that if the voters elect me, I will implement a sweeping reform of continuity. I will listen to the 99.9% and decrease the sex on Enterprise. [1] And, I most solemnly swear that if I am elected to Executive Producer, I will personally eliminate all Nazis from all future episodes of Star Trek and eliminate any member of my staff that brings me a Nazi story idea. I hope that the FMV community will back me when I make my application to Paramount to be a candidate next week. [2]

Oh, definitely ;)

Continuity reform sounds nice. A lack of Nazis sounds good, although you might have to bend that pledge for the first episode or two just to say you got rid of them. Listening to the majority is a good idea.

But what about the other election year issues? Do you support a guest appearance by Shatner? What (if anything) do you intend to do with the underused (some would say overused) Travis and Hoshi? What direction do you envision taking with the Temporal Cold War and with the entire series once the Xindi Arc is over? How susceptible are you to Special Interest groups and Product Placement types' bribery? Most important of all, if elected will you cut taxes?

Xeroc

Yes, your platform sounds sturdy, but as NAHTMMM said, there are many other issues to be addressed. Like what about the job market? With Enterprise in the running jobs for writers, scientific sonsultants, and continuity experts has gone down dramatically! Or cross-network terrorism? And what about the all-important debates? Are you going to be involved in any of those - and if so, do you have any idea when? Good Luck!

In fact, do we even know who can vote yet? Or if any of us can even run?

Heck, If anyone can run, I should run too! I would (of course) address all those issues and more! Let the best person win!

...and eliminate any member of my staff that brings me a Nazi story idea.
How far are you going when you say "eliminate"?

Also, will you increase funds to NASA? What is your stance on knowledge of the computer industry so we can avoid errors like downloading something means deleting it from the host, etc.? Most importantly, what is your favorite kind of pie?

Asky

08-17-2004, 11:48 PM

A lack of Nazis sounds good, although you might have to bend that pledge for the first episode or two just to say you got rid of them.

Yes, the alien Nazis may have to be explained, oh, say, in the first 30 seconds of the first episode. My apologies for the lack of clarity.

Do you support a guest appearance by Shatner?What (if anything) do you intend to do with the underused (some would say overused) Travis and Hoshi?

I will support a guest appearance if and when I believe that such an event would benefit the series as a whole. The Travis and Hoshi issue is one I will have to discuss with the writing staff, if we cannot find a better use for those characters, we may have to remove them from the series.

What direction do you envision taking with the Temporal Cold War and with the entire series once the Xindi Arc is over?

I don't want to discuss my plans too much for the series during Season 4. But, in Season 4 the Temporal Cold War will be focused on, and will probably be resolved near mid-season, and I don't envision another major story arc until Season 5.

How susceptible are you to Special Interest groups and Product Placement types' bribery? Most important of all, if elected will you cut taxes?

I will not accept any kind of bribe from any group. Hmmm...taxes...uhhh...sure! Huge tax cuts for everyone!

Like what about the job market? With Enterprise in the running jobs for writers, scientific sonsultants, and continuity experts has gone down dramatically!

I will make sure that we will hire the best writers, consultants, and experts needed to dramatically improve the quality of the show. I want to make sure that viewers will see only the very best and highest quality episodes that can be produced!

Or cross-network terrorism?

As soon as I am in office, hundreds of thousands of Paramount servicemen and women will be deployed across the world in the war on cross-network terror. By bringing hope to the oppressed, and delivering justice to the violent, they will make the world more secure.

And what about the all-important debates? Are you going to be involved in any of those - and if so, do you have any idea when?

I will make every effort to participate in at least one debate with each and every candidate for the position. However, since the list of the candidates will not be finalized for another two weeks at the earliest, dates have not yet been fixed. Rest assured that it is being worked out as we speak.

In fact, do we even know who can vote yet?

I believe the friendly people at TJI briefly address this issue in the latest issue.

How far are you going when you say "eliminate"?

That depends on the severity of the infraction.

Also, will you increase funds to NASA?

My vision for NASA is to establish a permanent lunar colony and to put a man on Mars be the end of this decade and I will provide NASA with all the funding it needs for these projects and the funding for a massive overhaul of all it's equipment.

What is your stance on knowledge of the computer industry so we can avoid errors like downloading something means deleting it from the host, etc.?

Every staff member working on Enterprise will recieve a two-week course on computer terminology and will be expected to recieve a 95 or above on the test at the end of the course. Downloads that go up will no longer be tolerated.

Most importantly, what is your favorite kind of pie?

Most definately, the best pie is the pie defined as the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle.

Hotaru

08-19-2004, 09:07 AM

Asky, I hate to do this, but...

If at all possible, I'm running against you! My platform runs on the thought that in order to know what the people want, you have to be a person. If elected, I plan on scavenging the internet for peoples thoughts, and even going so far as to send out questionaires to those who subscribe to Star Trek magazines.

No more cheesy innuendo, or silly plot twists. I even plan on drafting a banned plot lines list. Even representation of characters is also high on my agenda, with each character recieving at least 2 character development episodes. As well, those developments will be passed on to future episodes.

For the first 7 months of my term, I will have weekly showings of a full season of trek. At the end of the showing a test will be issued. Failure will result in a months suspension until that test, and all other missed tests, can be passed.

My motto? "The three C's: Continuity, Character, and Sensibility - if Sensibiliy started with a C"

Good luck to you, Asky.

Just 2 character development episodes?

Don't you understand character development? Character development is the most important aspect of a TV series! Every episode should develop all of the characters equally and they should keep those developments forever.

Ideally every episode should focus on the characters sitting around in the mess hall talking to each other and becoming self-actualized as people. Some people might say this would be boring, but if you have really interesting characters, you don't need a plot.

And continuity is important too. In these "mess hall chats" I think it would be good if every episode could pick up exactly where the previous left off. What's more, great care should be taken to make sure that the characters never contradict themselves, since people in real life never contradict themselves. And if a character ever changes his mind or his views, it needs to be a big event with special music and long shots at the character's conflicted face.

People say DS9 was big on character development, and I agree it was a good start, but wouldn't it have been so much better if instead of warships and stuff like that, we just had the Female Shapeshifter, Weyoun, Kai Winn, Dukat, Damar, Brunt, the Nagus, Martok, Ross, and all the DS9 crew sitting around Quark's and just talking with each other? Then we would've really understood the Founder's motivations.

So I agree, who cares about plot twists and cheap action sequences? Let's have some REAL character development.

I, too, am running against Asky. Well, actually, I'm managing the campaign of someone else: ASCII. He has exactly the same platform, election tactics and campaign strategy as Asky, but with a different name. The target demographic is former Asky voters who may be feeling some irrational disgruntlement based on...well, we'll invent motives as we go.

Since it's an integral part of my scheme to eventual galactic domination anyway, I too must throw my hat into the ring and run for ExecProd of the Star Trek franchise (hey, it's what I eventually dream of doing anyway)

*ehem*

There is only one man who can rid the Star Trek franchise of the evil schenanigans of Boss Rick Berman!
One guy in crowd: Hooray!

I am speaking of course of AN TO DAV (myself) the fighting trekker, the friend of the writing man, THE NEXT EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF THIS FRANCHISE! I enter upon this campaign...

WITH ONE PURPOSE ONLY! To point out, and make public, the stupidity, the downright villiany, of Boss Rick Berman's political machine!

Now in COMPLETE CONTROL of the government of Trek!

I make no..."campaign promises"...because until a few minutes ago, I had no hope of being elected (since I wasn't running).

*the crowd laughs*

Now however...I have something more than a hope (the pity of others). And RICK BERMAN...Rick Berman has something less than a chance.

*the crowd cheers and laughs*

Every straw vote (consisting of myself), every independent poll (well, except for the one on the Commodore thread)...shows that I'll be elected!

*cheers*

Now I can afford to make some promises!

*laughter*

The working fan....the working fan...and the slum child, watching Trek on the back of a cardboard box....know they can expect my best efforts in their interests! The decent, ordinary Trek fans know that I'll do everything in my power to protect the underpriviliged (those who don't have UPN), the underpaid (those who can't afford Trek DVD sets), and the underfed (those who only get to watch Trek once a week)!

*cheers*

My fictional 8 year old son: Mother, is pop executive producer yet?
My fictional, gorgeous wife: Not yet, junior.

Well, I'd make my promises now...if I weren't too busy arranging to keep them (bribery, prostitution, etc....).

*laughter*

Here's one promise I'll make! And Boss Rick Berman knows I'll keep it: my first act as executive producer of the Trek franchise...will be to appoint a special smarmy trial lawyer (like my buddy, John Edwards) to arrange for the inditement, persecution...err prosecution...and FLOGGING...of Bosses Rick Berman and Brannon Braga!

*cheers*

*Rick Berman watches from the rafters above me, scheming, and puts on his hat as he walks away to plot my demise*...

YES! I'm in...now I just hope nobody finds out about the affair I had with that singer from the town hall in Trenton, New Jersey....

Naturally I too intend to run. Radical changes are needed on Enterprise, and I believe myself the man to implment them.

First off, we shall discover that Archer has been Evil Future Guy all along, getting beaten up and manipulating the political situation of the time for his own ends. Now, I don't want to reveal too much, but suffice it to say Trip discovers this by following a seemingly innocous chain of events, and upon learning the truth Trip has a dramatic showdown on the bridge with "Archer" and kills him in a fight to the death (I'm thinking by ripping his heart out of his chest, but that's just a provisional outline). Trip then assumes the captaincy of the Enterprise, and later on gets married to both T'Pol and Hoshi (it'll turn out he was a Mormon all along). Now, after this, I figure we'll have a fairly normal season - Reed blows some shit up, Phlox commits genocide a few more times, and Travis turns out to be a changling.

Now, at this point (the season four finalé) a mysterious traveller and his companions will show up, claiming to be time travellers from a parallel reality, one where the events that take place on board the Enterprise are a TV show. This time traveller, whose name is the Physician, will explain that he deliberately jumped into this reality (in his phone-booth shaped ship, the TRADIS) to alter it so that it would comform with the previously established continuity of this alternate dimension TV show (which is known as Star Voyage) so that he can defeat the evil masterminds behind the alteration of the true timeline (the BormanBreega, a hidious two-headed beast). Trip at first is aghast at the idea, but the Physician offers him a bag of jelly-beans and Trip decides it's not such a bad idea after all. The Physican outlines his plan - he will send them into yet another alternate dimension, and by removing the Enterrpise the proper timeline will be put back into place. Some technicobabble and a cliffhanger later, the Enterprise pops into existance in another reality, and season five kicks off from there.

There will be one ir two minor changes to the format of the show too. It will now be called The Trip Tucker Variety Hour, and feature at least one musical number per episode. I also plan to utilize the latest computer technology to create several Trip "clones", who will turn up at various points to deliever hilarious one-liners and occasionally take their shirts off. I've also got some big plans for the look of the whole show - I won't be giving too much away I think if I tell you all that I'm planning on going for a very retro seventies feel with the whole thing.

So, as you can see, I am clearly the man for the job. No one else really can claim to have the same kind of vision for it, and no-one else can truly say that they will improve the show like I will be able to.

This has been a partly political broadcast on behalf of the Vote Pointy! campaign.

Well, now with everyone stating their platforms and all, I better state mine, I after all was the second here to state (more or less) that I was to be running:
In fact, do we even know who can vote yet? Or if any of us can even run?

Heck, If anyone can run, I should run too! I would (of course) address all those issues and more! Let the best person win!

Let's see ... I will now demonstrate how I would make Enterprise superior to what it is now...

First I would set up an anti-B&B campain donation fund entitled "Anti-B&B campain donation fund" (never would have guessed would you?) and with the money generated I can run advertising for my campain to unseat B&B, and If that doesn't work, I'll hire an NBC assassin to take care of them.

I'll then use the several billon dollars of contributions from fans of Star Trek left over to fund a 371.42% increase in all aspects of quality for Enterprise (and buy a private island chain in the pacific but that's not important right now).

Naturally there will me much more plot, character development (but not like Derek, oh god no), special effects (but only cool ones, no more cheesy rip-offs like before), and, of course, less sex (because without B&B it'll actually be 100% of fans demanding this).

Of course, I will also hire only the best writers, scientific consultants, and continuity experts.

In terms of the specifics of the season I can't give much away but it will include cool aliens, the TCW, hoshi not losing her shirt for no other reason than to lose her shirt, pie, and, of course, stuff.

So, Vote Xeroc!

No, First means before being elected, then I could use that money once I get elected (and for the ad campain / NBC assassin before I get elected)!

Sorry I wasn't clear on that.

But don't worry about me and the Vulcans - I have campain advisers working on an ad campain to be run specifically targed at people of logic, stoic demeanor, emotional detachment, and pointy ears.

They don't serve Lunch!

I will acutally keep B&B around for awhile. Due to what I've seen on the show, I assume that they've never actually watched an episode. On my official website for Enterprise Ideas (In which fans are free to submit idea's, and even look at possible ideas for future shows and critique them) I will create a special page entitled, "Aren't you glad you didn't elect them back?" In which I relay all their crazy ideas. Seeing as they don't watch the show, they won't know they are just being made fun of.

I plan on focusing the series into developing things we already know. Such things as the Romulan War, and the creation of the Prime Directive are top of my list. So, as you go to the polls whenever, if you can, remember the 3 C's, and vote Hotaru!

In case anyone doesn't know, this was sponsored by me. Because, honestly, who would make an add campaign that supports their opposition? Did you expect me to say "Vote Xeroc, he's cool"? If you did, you're crazy.

I will give more of shirtless Trip, for certain forumgoers, and more shirtless T'Pol for others :wink: Tastefully done of course :mrgreen:

I also see character delvelopment and continuity as important features of Trek. We want to learn about these people, and also see their journey make sense from episode to episode; moving forward without the aide of alien Nazi's.

Finally, I would never poke Nan :D

Questions? Supporters?

I can't believe you Lexy! I just... It's so...

If I am elected I vow to give up Nan poking, if not elected, however, I shall increase the poking! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who ya gonna vote for now, Nan?

Who wants me for his/her running mate? Or actually vote for me for E.P.? I actually have some reasonable ideas... like cutting the season from 26 and 24 to 18 episodes - which will undoubtedly ensure a season densely packed with excitement and high quality episodes, eliminating the possibility of another "Fortunate Son" (yawn) or "Fallen Hero" (yaaawn) or "The Communicator (bleeeh).

Also, Travis will accidentally cause the death of Archer, which will haunt him for many episodes, leading to massive guilt, remorse, multiple personality disorder and a great showdown with Silik. That should make up for years and years of horrible underuse. :mrgreen: It will also rid us of the annoying Archer, putting T`Pol in the Captain`s chair and her loved little Trip as her second in command. Woo!

P.S. - There will also be Cardassians on the show - LOTS of them! :twisted:

geez the election at SB1 have just ended and we have a new acting commodore. My campaign managing services are up for grabs! I have plenty of experience of course none of my people have won, but the SLOGANS are forever seared in our brains!

I'm running late with the article, but I guess that's okay because you guys are still shuffling running mates and such. Thanks for the list, Nah.

Xeroc

08-24-2004, 04:07 AM

So what's your policy now? You do have a policy, don't you? :wink:
Yes, of course!

To reiterate my general platform:
First, before I am elected, I would set up an anti-B&B campain donation fund entitled "Anti-B&B campain donation fund" (never would have guessed would you?) and with the money generated I can run advertising for my campain to unseat B&B, and If that doesn't work, I'll hire an NBC assassin to take care of them.
(as soon as we know who can vote the campain fund will be open for donations)

I'll then, once I'm elected, use the several billon dollars of contributions from fans of Star Trek left over to fund a 371.42% increase in all aspects of quality for Enterprise (and buy a private island chain in the pacific but that's not important right now).

Naturally there will me much more plot, character development (but not like Derek, oh god no), special effects (but only cool ones, no more cheesy rip-offs like before), and, of course, less sex (because without B&B it'll actually be 100% of fans demanding this).

Of course, I will also hire only the best writers, scientific consultants, and continuity experts.

In terms of the specifics of the season I can't give much away but it will include cool aliens, the TCW, hoshi not losing her shirt for no other reason than to lose her shirt (anything like this will be done tastefully, of course), pie, and, of course, stuff.

Nic's ideas (already stated above) are also part of our collective platform.

So, Vote Xeroc Aquillion & Nic Corelli!

Yes I want to add that Nic's new avvy should make anyone not vote for them! LOL talk about continuity? Eh... that's important but what's more important is that Trip and T'Pol become a couple this season. I have early script pages and I can tell you that Alexia and I have plans to make T/T happen. Trip will have to be shirtless of course and we'll also make plans to bring some kryptonite on board so Super Archer can go back to being a mortal. Also, we have plans to give the little people a storyline. Travis and Hoshi deserve a story and they are going to get one. Kirk will make his scheduled appearance, but so will Janeway. How cool would that be? If Enterprise went to the future and met Janeway and the gang. Those are our plans. Oh and no evil alien Nazis. Only nice alien Nazis allowed. ;)

Riker will romance T`Pol and then Trip will beat him up, Geordi will beat up Archer, Crusher, Phlox and the EMH will perform a surgery together and bicker most amusingly, Troi will beat up Archer, Seven of Nine and Malcolm will fall in love, thus destroying C/7, Odo will frighten Hoshi with his shapeshifting skills, Naomi Wildman will beat up Archer...

Oh boy...curse my different time zones. Someone remind me go go tie Nic to a chair when I go to sleep will ya :wink:

OK.

Thank you nic for conveniently dismissing my second post about the Jake Sisko Picture. If you remember rightly I actually said,

*thinks* Oh? Is it Jake Sisko? Still don't get it...

I did know who he was, I jsut didnt remember the episode, thus not understanding the "witty" slogan...also he was all big and veiny, so, forgive my ignorance. However, although I havent watched the DS9 episodes 5 times each, I have seen them all once. I do, however, challenge you to give me anything vaguely connected to Voyager and I will know what it is without thinking. Those I have seen about 10 times each :mrgreen:

Everyone has their favourite series nic :wink:

Cat. So quickly you forget your tears over the loss of PHJ...and after I made a wallpaper that you are now using as well. I can even make one that fits your desktop if you like. OR make a totally new one of your choice. Hows that? Plus, I changed my avvy back :wink:

Fuyu, I'm disappointed. Being a fellow Janewayite who visits the J-Team, adores the goddess and would do anything in the name of Kathryn Janeway, I thought we were on the same level. Of course betsy would be featured. The phasor rifle is as much a part of Janeway as her hair and coffee! Plus, I also adore coffee...vote me for continued Janeway support!

As for all the other "promises" Nic has made, I notice they come from him, rather than Xeroc, who is the person actaully running in case you've forgotten. Nic maybe making all the promises, but Xeroc would be the chief man. Sure, he may back up his promises now he has heard they have support, but do you really want the continuation of Trek run by the 2nd in command? Think about it :wink: :twisted:

Myself and Sab are working as A Team, to give you, as viewers, what you want! If you want Naomi Wildman to beat up Archer, I have no problem with that. Personally, I'd like to see Janeway, or maybe even B'Elanna, beat the bejasus out of Seven of Nine myself... :twisted: :twisted:

All this and a campaign button too...I shall make a campaign poster later today. Unfortunantly, I have to go to work...but, if elected, I have no problem telling them where they can stick their job so I can run Enterprise full time. Plus, I will have some capital behind me! :mrgreen:

Gosh, I go away for a few days to campaign in Singapore, and I come back to this! Hmm... why should you vote for me? Simple. I'm a guy, yet I'm often mistaken for a girl. What does this mean? It means that I know what both sexes want in a TV show. As such I will work for equal time for sexy scenes of each sex.

Also, I've decided to bring back good writers. These writers will be determined by a survey, in which survey's will be sent to random households, but if you wish to participate and did not recieve a survey you can mail in for one. Therefore, I will have the best writing minds on my team.

My platform runs less on what changes I wish to make, and more on what changes YOU want to make. I have a few ideas in my mind, but if you dissaprove, then they won't go through. So vote for me, because it's a vote for you.

Even moreso if you were to do something special in honor of my 500th post. :D How about firing off more campaign promises? Huh? Huh? :) Or maybe usage of Photoshop skillz to make a special 500 post image?

Or maybe you should save all that until I get to 1000.

Well, my campaign is going along well, even though I currently have nobody to tell about my policies. I think you all definitely have something to be worried about.

(I also have a secondary plan for getting votes: re-use campaign material from a previous election. The following are reasons why you should vote for me, rather than any actual policies I might implement, and can therefore be shown to all:

Nic Corelli

08-27-2004, 10:46 PM

ARRRRGH!

I stay offline for most of the day and then see Lexy campaigning like crazy! Heads will roll! :twisted:

A BIG CORRECTION - I am NOT Xeroc`s second-in-command, we are also running EQUALLY, as a team! And we shall rule, erm, manage, lead Enterprise also equally, as a team. Hah! :mrgreen:

Also, Naomi Wildman beating up Archer was MY idea, and it`s automatically copyrighted, just like the idea of ENT/TNG/DS9/VOY crossover. So under international law, NO ONE can use it besides me! Mwahahahahahaha! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Furthermore, Cat has said to me: "Nic, consider my vote yours", and I believe, if there is any honour and integrity in Dutchland, that this statement cannot be revoked! :mrgreen:

Also, my dear running mate Xeroc is campaigning in Argentina/Uruguay/Paraguay/Brazil/Tonga at the moment, and he`ll be back quickly with more wonderful promises. For now, let`s remember all established elements of the Nic/Xeroc campaign.

First, the poster again, because it`s clearly the best, :twisted: :twisted:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v186/nic_corelli/Tom22b.jpg

Also:

- 18 episodes of Enterprise per year, ensuring a densely-packed, exciting and thrilling season, with no room for boring, unimaginative episodes like Fallen Hero or The Communicator. This will make the series more fresh and able to last maybe even more than 7 years!

- NO MORE RIP-OFFS of DS9 (*cough Oasis *cough). (this is a new promise)

- Absolutely NO continuity errors, none at all! :mrgreen:

- ENT/TNG/DS9/VOY crossover, a five-part spectacular episode, with the obligatory "Naomi Wildman beating up Archer" 10-minute long scene.

- Three... wait, no... FOUR references in my five new fivers for every voter!

- "The Pectorials", an episode with Trip being shirtless from the first to the 45th minute! :twisted:

- Finally some screen time for the poor and neglected Travis Mayweather, who will cause the death of Archer, leading into unimaginable, riveting, mind-blowing psychological exploration of the character. Subsequently, T`Pol will claim her rightful place in the Captain`s chair - another Star Trek series with the woman Captain!

- "Janeway with the Phaser Rifle Beating Up Archer with It", as part of the ENT/VOY crossover, was also my idea, and trademarked, so it cannot be used by opposition. Ahem, Fuyu? :twisted:

- There will be CARDASSIANS on the show! Hmm, are Cardassians interesting? Remember Dukat? Or maybe Garak? :twisted:

- Season 4 finale - special guest appearances by Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie.

- Season 5 premiere - special guest appearances by Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom.
(I think the latter two promises will satisfy both sexes quite sufficiently :twisted:)

- Since ratings for Enterprise are expected to skyrocket, it will be moved from the Miserable Fortress of Suckitude that is UPN, to the mighty and powerful NBC, where Star Trek actually originated. Worn out and boring ER will be cancelled, with Enterprise claiming the very elite Thursday at 10 PM time period.

I believe... that this is it. :mrgreen:

Xeroc

08-27-2004, 10:48 PM

As for all the other "promises" Nic has made, I notice they come from him, rather than Xeroc, who is the person actaully running in case you've forgotten. Nic maybe making all the promises, but Xeroc would be the chief man. Sure, he may back up his promises now he has heard they have support, but do you really want the continuation of Trek run by the 2nd in command? Think about it
Sheesh, I specifically meant that both me and Nic would be Co-Producers of Enterprise! This means that all of Nic's promises are 100% valid! :twisted:

As Nic just said in his post (which was made a few seconds after this one):
A BIG CORRECTION - I am NOT Xeroc`s second-in-command, we are also running EQUALLY, as a team! And we shall rule, erm, manage, lead Enterprise also equally, as a team. Hah!

taya17

08-27-2004, 11:10 PM

...but I give my full irrevocable vote to the Xeroc/Nits campaign. My support for my husband-brother is a given!

Well, at least I now know what everyone else is talking about... :twisted:

Nic Corelli

08-27-2004, 11:38 PM

- There will be CARDASSIANS on the show! Hmm, are Cardassians interesting? Remember Dukat? Or maybe Garak? :twisted:

When I say there will be Cardassians on the show, I do actually mean there will be Dukat and Garak personally on the show! Oh yeah! :twisted:

As such I will work for equal time for sexy scenes of each sex.

Enterprise already has way too much of that. :P

If Seven isn't getting beaten up, its just not the same. ;)

Fuyu, did you notice my avvy? I am holding my Betsy! Betsy is a very wonderful thing to have.

also I wanted to share this with ya'll. Zeke you might remember this! this is one of the greatest pieces of Trek literature out there and I am proud to have been apart of it. For your reading pleasure: The Log Story, by froot., me, and Rosalind (resident Deltachatters). http://tmtnet.5u.com/Logs/logstory.htm
Just a sampling of the kind of story that I can bring in to help Alexia. Plus you know my other writing abilities with the few fivers I've done. And I have been referenced in a fiver as you can tell by my sig. ;) That's my resume in case you have questions as to my abilities to work on Alexia's team as her co exec. I know she has the talent and creative ability to do this! Vote for Alexia!

ASCII stands by his principles and his namesake. All campaign posters will be created from ASCII characters. In addition, if elected Executive Producer, ASCII will ensure that all scripts are written with ASCII characters only. The characters on the show will be binary: either onscreen of offscreen.

Plus whatever asky's promised.

Well, you know what?

Oooooooooooh, well in that case cat should definantly vote for me then :wink: Back read the thread a bit nic, and I think you'll find she pledged allegance to me PAGES before she mentioned you :twisted:

But, as I have already said to cat, her vote is her own. If she votes for you I will still love her just the same! Same goes for 17...I would hardly expect her to not vote for a practically member of her family. Although...*coughfreeflighttocroatiacoughcough* :wink:

Also, Xeroc, fake poll or no fake poll, I think you'll find Sab and I are actually inching our way above the oposition! Thanks for the continiued campaigning when I was unfortunate enough to be asleep sabby. We ROCK as a team :mrgreen:

Let`s count the (promised and irrevocable, nailed even) votes so far...

Xeroc/Nic - 2 (Cat, 17)

Alexia/Sab - 1 (Fuyu)

everyone else - ZERO! HAHAH! :P

So, clearly, Xeroc and I are leading powerfully, with 66% of the votes, with Alexia and Sab at only 33%. :twisted:

The second time, I said you might have gained it back. Nothing was certain. The last time is a little trickier to get out of. Hm, let's see. Oh yes, it was caused by my (temporary) grief for PHJ. I was highly emotional then. :roll:

08-28-2004, 07:58 PM

Hmm, I noticed something with Nic. He mentioned a 5 series crossover. I say No Crossovers! It was possible on TOS/TNG/DS9/VOY, but not on Enterprise. Shatner should NOT be on enterprise, neither should Brent Spiner. We all know that it's impossible for someone to look identical to their ancestor. Also, who wants to see an episode where someone comes back in time? Sure "Endgame" was alright, but do we really need Kirk saying "Hah! In my time female officers wore less!"? No we don't.

Vote for me, because I'm for logical and possible plots.

Not exactly, though cloning Connor Trineer is something that I feel should be done as soon as we have the tech for the good of all mankind. I plan on using the very latest in digital effects technology to achieve the "many Shirtless Trips" goal. At some point as well we will re-release special editions of all pre-PHJ produced episodes, with Trip's shirt digitally removed.

Ok speaking of clones: I just watched the movie Godsend with Mark who kept telling me it's not scary. I kept telling him that the cover says it's a thriller and this to me means a scary movie. So my hubby got me to sit through it. I had my back turned to the screen with my ears covered through half of it. Yes, it's a scary movie. Plus I didn't really like the ending.

Vote for Sexy!

Standback

09-03-2004, 01:05 AM

Despite my better judgement, I stand here before you all today to announce that I, too, am joining the race for Executive Producer. Due to my own previous responsibilities and busy schedule, I had hoped that my intervention would not be necessary. But when I saw rival candidates suggesting increasing lack-of-shirts among key Enterprise crewmembers, I knew I could set my duty aside no longer. I think any honest and decent man will agree that it would be better to watch an entire episode of shirts without their crewmembers than an entire episode of crewmembers without their shirts. Especially since Phlox is in almost every episode. And what if there’s a Xindi guest star? One shudders at the thought.

Clearly, we must distance ourselves from the crass, uncultured mindset which has governed the series up until now. We must set at our helm a writer who are capable of true literary merit, and who has been acknowledged as such. I am proud to announce to you all that I have indeed located such a writer. If I am elected, all key plot episodes will be written by none other than the Immortal Bard himself, William Shakespeare:

Archer: T’Pol! By what unearthly means may’st this most queer anomaly be explained?
T’Pol: Mayhaps, m’lord, when Saturn’s skies our lanterns see / Uneasy grows the rest of these fair flowers Suliban-ee.

Such depth of thought and erudite wit is exactly what Enterprise needs to shrug off the abuses heaped upon it by Brannon and Braga, and allow the series to take its rightful place in the genre of televised speculative fiction. Mr. Shakespeare has already written several scripts for upcoming episodes, such as “Captain Archer,” “Captain Archer II”, and “Captain Archer II, Part Two,” and reports that he’s “very excited” to be working with us. But wait, my friends, there is more!

One of the hotly-debated topics of this election so far has been what to do with the woefully inadequate role of Ensign Mayweather. Or is it? I would like to venture the somewhat controversial theory that Ensign Mayweather’s abysmal lack of success and popularity is due, not to the writers, but to the actor. While I certainly bear no ill will towards the good Mr. Montgomery, there are many examples of actors who have done a great and created extraordinarily vivid characters, using as few lines, or even less, than our favorite silent ensign.

Clearly, painful is it may be, Mr. Montgomery will have to go. While I am sure he is a fine actor, he is clearly not up to the task of this difficult role. And so, he shall be replaced by an actor who can be counted on to handle Mr. Travis Mayweather's most delicate, but oh-so-silent, character:
http://users.stargate.net/~harpo/char-7.jpg

Finally, with all these bold, broad, sweeping changes, let me assure you that attention will be paid to individual fans as well. If I am elected, I will personally see to it that each and every Enterprise fan who voted for me will appear on the actual show as a guest star. My staff of writers have taken the liberty of drawing up some preliminary, hypothetical scripts, for demonstration purposes only:

Reed: Forsooth, master, but I fear an ill wind does yet blow from an easternly direction yonder. Seeth though that of which I speak?
Taya17: What, them? They won’t give us any trouble. That’s what this five-mile-long space station’s for, you see?
Mayweather: *honk, honk*

In conclusion, I regret the necessity of disrupting the race in this fashion, but clearly, there was no other alternative. I am certain all truly loyal fans will breathe a sigh of relief, knowing they now can place their ballot in the hands of a man they may trust implicitly. Have no fear. Your vote is safe with me.
And on that ending, let it be noted that I am soon to be away for some short weeks, joining the military; serving and protecting my company. In this, too, I may be relied upon to fulfill my duty with utmost loyalty. In the meantime, should a likely candidate for a running mate chance to present his or herself, I should be glad of support. In particular, this would allow me to continue my campaigning despite my absence, continuing my platform, promises, and rebuttals to the forum by transmitting them to my running mate via telepathic communication.

Thank you, and God Bless the Alpha Quadrant.

VOTE STANDBACK!

09-03-2004, 03:26 PM

I think any honest and decent man will agree that it would be better to watch an entire episode of shirts without their crewmembers than an entire episode of crewmembers without their shirts.

Speaking from a whistlestop in Power Cable, Nebraska, ASCII made the following rebuttal when told about Standback's candidacy: "Who? How many divisions has he got?"
(His first response, "How far?", was stricken from the record.)

Elaborating further on the topic, ASCII also said "What about Hoshi? I, for one, would like to see her shirtless. What? T'Pol? Compared to what she normally wears, that would be redundant."

A savage placard-beating from the Coalition For Uptight Puritan Morals On Television (CUPMOT) ensued.

This Reporter is being held hostage in Sa'ar Chasm's basement, and would really like to go back to writing TJIs. Mr. Chasm apologises for writing in the TJI style.

09-07-2004, 10:45 PM

Catalina, your comment shocks me to the very core. A blank vote, on such a momenteous decision? Allow me to demonstrate to you, and all others, the error of your ways, with the...

Top Ten Reasons Standback Is Better Than A Blank Vote

10. If you forfeit your inalienable democratic right to a significant vote, then the terrorists have already won.
9. Reliable sources have leaked the following excerpt from the intended script of our rival's season finale:
Hoshi: Captain! Captain! The ship is overrun by bunny rabbits who have been assimilated by the Borg!
Archer: Calm down, Hoshi. I've brought aboard an expert guest star on the Borg. Let's all give a warm welcome to...
Picard: Subduing them with Gilbert and Sullivan lyrics isn't working! Our only chance... is to seperate the saucer section!
TO BE CONTINUED
8. If Standback is elected, then Shran and Mysterious Future Guy will both become full-fledged regular crewmembers. Furthermore, the current regulars will all be fired.
7. Standback has long expressed his disapproval with the current Executive Producers by refusing to watch the entire third season, though some attribute this to the fact that nobody bothered to tape it for him.
6. If Standback is not elected, he'll bring back Topic Title.
5. Standback is the only candidate who has openly vowed never to impede the flow of the Mississippi river, to ensure that the War of 1812 becomes a forgotten relic of the past, and never to cease obscure references to old comic strips.
4. A blank vote means no Executive Producer at all. These episodes won't write themselves, you know.
Archer: Are you sure there's nothing out there?
T'Pol: Nothing, Captain.
Archer: No spacial anamolies? Mysterious planets? Distress calls? Devastating attacks on Earth?
T'Pol: No, sir.
Mayweather: Well, with all this free time, I can finally tell you all about my collection of laminated salt!
Archer: Are you sure there's nothing out there?
3. If you don't vote for Standback, you'll never see the results of his revolutionary plans to get Hoshi and Mayweather their very own spin-off.
2. Standback has proved himself to be highly capable and nearly without competition in the field of wildly overusing the [b] tag.
1. If Trip and T'Pol are ever displayed simultaneously shirtless, as so many rival candidates seem doomed to bring about, then the terrorists have already won.

VOTE STANDBACK!
Or not. I mean, that's good too. It's a free country and all.

As a true band-wagon voter, I am jumping in and having my say:

-the Exec must promise to make Enterprise more like DS9, including hiring the cast back
-the Exec must promie that Porthos gets lonely and Archer adopts a standard wire-haired dachshund, because they are cute
-the Exec must promise to bring Eric Szmanda, James Marsters, Nicholas Brendon, and Noah Wyle onto Enterprise

Enterprise has too many commercials! Cut them shorter!
Enterprise needs strong leadership and more Evil Future Guy!
Enterprise needs more appropriate times for Trip to take off his shirt.
Enterprise needs more tention between Trip, T'Pol and Archer.
Enterprise needs Archer to date Hoshi.
Enterprise needs Hoshie to date Mayweather, and him to date her back.
Enterprise needs less forceful direction, and a more natural touch.
Enterprise needs to fully express it's science-fiction roots.
Enterprise needs to be less concerned with action and more with romance.

Talks with Leonardo da Vinci are still ongoing however.

By the way, I know many of you (PHJ, PHJ and PHJ particularly) have been concerned about Archer/EFG's death in the season four finale, but I can tell you that isn't the last we'll be seeing of him. More than that I cannot say, or Niccolo will be very annoyed with me indeed.

-the Exec must promise to make Enterprise more like DS9, including hiring the cast back
Hmmm, the entire DS9 cast? I dunno...how about some quest appearances? I am all for great, great, great grandparents :wink: That's what prequel's are for :wink:
-the Exec must promie that Porthos gets lonely and Archer adopts a standard wire-haired dachshund, because they are cute
Hey, good idea! Porthos is so cute. I reckon maybe Hoshi could own a widdle doggy too?
-the Exec must promise to bring Eric Szmanda, James Marsters, Nicholas Brendon, and Noah Wyle onto Enterprise
Sadly, this candidate has no clue who these people are. However, if you could elaborate I could consider it :mrgreen:
Enterprise has too many commercials! Cut them shorter!
I totally agree. You live in Canada, right? Move to England and watch the re-runs on BBC2. No adverts :wink: Unfortunantly, that is in the hands of the channel it is shown on.
Enterprise needs strong leadership and more Evil Future Guy!
Archer is strong, but more episodes where he shows it would be nice. EFG will have to come back to explain where he went. (I'm thinking "on vacation." What? Evil future people go on vacation...)
Enterprise needs more appropriate times for Trip to take off his shirt.
The forum seems to be split on this. I know that some people would like less of this, and some more so I shall say my official view on this is "Appropriate use of shirtless Trip should be activley encouraged."
Enterprise needs more tention between Trip, T'Pol and Archer.
You got it :mrgreen:
Enterprise needs Archer to date Hoshi.
Suprisingly, I am totally with you on this. I thought right from the start that they would make a great couple. Maybe Travis could date her for a bit first though? Or not. Whatever! I just feel a bit sorry for poor Travis. Aha! Got it! He can be like Harry Kim and have alien babe of the week to lust after!
Enterprise needs Hoshi to date Mayweather, and him to date her back.
Hey, wow :shock: I totally didn't see that! Honestly! We are SO on the same wave length :wink:
Enterprise needs less forceful direction, and a more natural touch.
Yup. More character developments.
Enterprise needs to fully express it's science-fiction roots.
You dont think its doing that? What would you like to see?
Enterprise needs to be less concerned with action and more with romance.
Weeeeeeeeell...I think it needs more of a balance. But we don't want to totally lose the action.
Enterprise needs to be less concerned with romance and more concerned with good plots.
LMAO! Yes. Balance it out.
Enterprise needs to be less concerned with good plots and more concerned with sensible timelines.
While I understand this point, I wouldn't totally ignore "time" as a plot device. Occasionally I also think, 'so, anything going to happen in Archers time this episode? No? Oh, alright then...'
-Enterprise needs to be less concerned with sensible timelings and more concerned with action :wink:
Gee, you sure want some conflicting things here Opium! To reitterate my earlier point, balance is what Enterprise needs now. The mix of slow and fast pace is what will keep it interesting.

I hope that this answers your questions Opium, and that perhaps might share your views enough for a Vote for Sexy!

And if it somehow doesn't, please remember I was the one handing out the pie :wink: :mrgreen:

I totally agree with balance.

No really. Then it gets the most viewers and keeps on the air, which better than the other UPN options... "Buffy's Next Top Amish WWE Model"

But as the Pink Floyd song says, we don't need no thought control. However, we do need Sa'ar Chasm, but whether he is dark or not is of no concern.

So, Enterprise needs less thought control by "da Man" but more sarcasm.

Also, it needs to keep it's old timeslot. I ended up switching, and I may end up using my Wednesday tv-time for watching new eps of Law & Order and old eps of CSI, thereby leaving no time for Enterprise.

the Exec must promise to bring Eric Szmanda, James Marsters, Nicholas Brendon, and Noah Wyle onto Enterprise

Sadly, this candidate has no clue who these people are. However, if you could elaborate I could consider it

What? A candidate who does not know about any hotties?
Eric Szmanda is the messy haired young cutey on CSI.
James Marsters played Spike on Buffy.
Nicholas Brandom played Xander on Buffy.
Noah Wyle plays Dr Carter on ER.

Now you understand why they NEED to be on!
And Spike (James Marsters) could concievably be on Enterprise. If they have alien Nazis, they can have Spike.

Oh! Another Demand!

I want spoilers! I want promises made! GIMME GIMME GIMME!
In that case, you should sign up to receive my campaign statements. I've already made several promises that should make you, personally, a very happy person.

It's not called opt-in for nothing.

I have decided that, as no-one has totally satisfied my every want and need, I am running for the election also.

My party is called the "Better-plotted-and-timelined Universe's Hub-party", or "BUH" for short.

My party platform is as follows:
-Enterprise will be more like the superior Treks: DS9 and TNG.
-Archer will shave his head
-Archer will notice Porthos is lonely, and adopt a wirehaired dachsund.
-I will do my best to contract Eric Szmanda and Noah Wyle into guest-starring roles.
-Since James Marsters and Nicholas Brendon aren't doing much these days, and used to be on UPN, I will offer them standard long-term contracts to reprise their Buffy roles.
-Out with the Alien Nazis, in with the Vamps with Soul and Lovable Funny Guy
-Better props...the retro-future look is fun!
-Better costumes...less blue-grey, more sophisticated black, green, pink, and yellow!

My secondary platforms are as stated:
Enterprise needs strong leadership and more Evil Future Guy!
Enterprise needs more appropriate times for Trip to take off his shirt.
Enterprise needs more tention between Trip, T'Pol and Archer.
Enterprise needs Archer to date Hoshi.
Enterprise needs Hoshie to date Mayweather, and him to date her back.

VOTE FOR "BUH" and Opium. I'm in theatre; that's close enough!
