Welcome to the last update of the year! First a bit of explanation: This year at Deltachat (the first forum I ever joined and the birthplace of 5MV), there was a Secret Santa event, and I was assigned to Doc Annin. She's the same Annin who wrote one of my all-time favourite VOY parodies: The Disbanding (../features/thedisbanding.html), which can be found in our Features section. What else could I do but write a sequel?


Don't answer that. Instead, read The Disbanding 2: Breaking Up is Hard to Do (../features/thedisbanding2.html). It's got the Voyager crew, the Underused Characters' Tavern, and more references than you can shake two lambs' tails at. Merry Christmas, Annin -- and happy New Year's Eve to all and sundry.

Neelix: I was "Phlox" for that entire show and no one was the wiser. I even got the second-highest-ranked human and the ship's babe together!
Kim: (Why does that sound so familiar, Tom?)
Paris: (I dunno, but I have the oddest feeling we dodged a bullet by disbanding when we did.)

LMAO xD :lol:

That. Was. AWESOME XD The whole thing. Both the original and the sequel :mrgreen:

[Alexia]

And now that song is stuck in my head xD

[PointyHairedJedi]

So that's how the eighth Doctor came to regenerate.

Zeke, that was wonderful for very many reasons. :D

[evay]

Kim: You mean like Cru--
(Seven wangs Harry with a two-by-four)
Chakotay: Put me down!
Seven: Sorry.

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAA I have so missed the ChaOaktay jokes. Brilliant from beginning to end -- even if, like last time, I've only seen one or two other shows in the entire pantheon of TV which was parodied.

Nice job! 8)

(The Doctor vanishes, replaced by --)

Dylan Hunt: Commonwealth, baby, Commonwealth!

(The Voyager crew's jaws drop in unison)

Dylan Hunt: Well? Isn't anyone going to cheer me on?

(Total silence)

Dylan Hunt: Oh, very well. (reverts to EMH mode)

:D :D :D

Nice one, Zeke!

[e of pi]

well, I'm less than halfway through, but it looks good.

And now...done.

Paris: So why don't we just get back together? We haven't done well on our own, so let's disdisband and do a reunion tour! We can recapture the magic of our time on Voyager!

(Everyone mulls that over for a minute)

Paris: Or we can stay here and drink some more.

Chakotay: I like that plan better.

[evay]

(The bouncer chuckles -- that's what all the casts of cancelled shows say the first time)
But just because a series was "cancelled" doesn't necessarily mean that everyone in it is/was then by definition "underused." c.f. your own comment about Spike trying to get in -- he was on two cancelled shows, and was decidedly not "underused." (Of course, there is the babe factor...)

Maybe there should be a separate back room of the Tavern for Cancelled Series? An upstairs?

A sprawling annex with commanding views of the lake.

I think we're going to have to talk in terms of hollowed out asteroids here.

[e of pi]

Hmmm. FSMism, eh? Interesting...

[Ginga]

I just have to say, Mega Man music is all cool, but my favorite song has got to be the Wood Man Stage's theme from MMII.

It was great to see a sequel to The Disbanding! Loved it, loved part II. :)

"For The World Is Hollow, And I Have Been Touched By His Noodly Appendage."
I'm not allowed to do that any more. Court restraining order, y'know.

[Scooter]

I loved this! High-larious.

Kim: Huh? What are you two talking about?

Tuvok: Impressive. Mr. Kim has adapted to rejection to the point that he can no longer perceive it in his environment.

Paris: Neelix is like that with condescension.

Kim: I'm so confused!
Kim can be so clueless.
Tuvok: I present you with two mutually exclusive alternatives.
Tuvok as Morpheus is awesome.
The Eighth Doctor: Nooo! You don't understand! That catsuit! In motion! It was like --

Building: FOOOOOOOM
And now we know how the Eighth Doctor died! Fantastic!

Thanks, dude, that was amazing. We can see why they pay you the big chili pies.[/i]

[NeoMatrix]

Awesome!

I was expecting Chakotay to go to Lord of the Rings and be one of the trees

[Kristina]

Heh heh. A tree in LOtR would have been fine. Or how about one of the petrified trolls in The Hobbit, if it is ever filmed again?

[mudshark]

Zeke, just ... all of it. :D :D :D

Hmmm. FSMism, eh? Interesting...It's everywhere. :twisted: Blame the Kansas Board of Education.

[e of pi]

Oh, I do. Trust me.

Ents, however, are capable of strong emotion, so in reality it wouldn't make that good of a joke. As a Discworldian Golem however...

[MaverickZer0]

Heheheheh.

Ah yes, fanfic. The lowest of the low.

*hums WoodMan's theme*

January 1


Welcome to 2006, a year I'm very glad to see, mainly because it isn't 2005. I'm currently working on this year's summary article, which will recap the past year at 5M.net and let you know what to expect in the coming one. Meanwhile, Jammer's ENT Season 4 Review (http://st-hypertext.com/ent-4/ent-4recap.html) is now up. I've found him pretty hard on VOY and ENT over the years, but he's always good reading, so check it out.
