One thing I'm determined to do in the coming months is clear out the backlog of submissions. It stretches back farther than you would believe. That work begins today with the first guest fiver to come through Derek's new automated submission system for 5MD: "Dax (../ds9/fiver.php?ep=dax)," by newcomer ceedj. (This isn't the oldest one by a long shot, but going in order would be pretty much impossible.) Enjoy!

[Alexia]

DS9 fiver woohoo!

Sisko: Why didn't you tell me about the affair?
Dax: Let it go, Benjamin.
Sisko: But they're coming to take you away!
Dax: Ha ha?
Sisko: Dax, that was...
Dax: ...not funny, I know.

LMAO xD Very nice fiver :mrgreen:

[Derek]

Ilon: I submit that blah blah blah, joined Trill, blah blah blah, same memories, blah blah blah, here's a fiver, let's call it even, okay?
Sisko: I object!
Judge Judy Renora: On what grounds?
Sisko: I didn't even get to bribe you yet!
Heh. I like this scene. Especially Ilon in it.

Great fiver, ceedj. Hope to see more from you.

[Alexia]

Also,

A hearing in space? Isn't it a vacuum?

*groan* :wink:

[Nan]

Superventriloquism, perhaps? (http://superdickery.com/stupor/33.html)

*Snicker*

A most entertaining fiver, though truth be told I have absolutely no recolection of that particular episode at all - I had to go and look it up.

[e of pi]

I liked it.

I mean, "This drone liked this irrelevant television parody."

[danieldoof]

excellent fiver indeed

"Like"? Should we start calling you Hugh, perhaps? :P

[e of pi]

This drone is pi. e of pi.

I particularly liked this:

Ilon: DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION, ANSWER THE QUESTION NOW!


That has to be one of the silliest lines ever in a movie, and it had to be in Star Trek.

The fiver was an excellent debut, ceedj - I hope to see more!

Uh, you do know the historical reference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_missile_crisis#U.S._response) for that, right? That wasn't written for Trek VI. It was from the Cuban missile crisis. (http://library.thinkquest.org/11046/people/a_stevenson.html) Especially after Spock's "Only Nixon could go to China" comment, it was meant to underscore the Cold War parallels.

[Zeke]

You're both ahead of me. I didn't even get the Trek reference -- I thought it was just a funny line.

[e of pi]

This drone got it. Duh.

[Celeste]

DS9 Fivers are just as good as Voyager Fivers, yes yes.

[Kristina]

Uh, you do know the historical reference for that, right?

I do now - I remembered the outlines of the accounts of the Cuban missile crisis, but I didn't remember them down to that particular line. It's been some time since I studied that particular event in history. Thanks for making me refresh my memory, evay!

I'm surprised they didn't have someone bang on a desk with their shoe and yell "We will bury you!"

Me too, only I wasn't going to admit it :wink:

To serve... man?

[e of pi]

No. To serve..Perfection. Duh.

Thanks, now I'll have Sting in my head all night....it's a good song, though.

[e of pi]

Umm...that's not a Sting reference. I think... dunno. Actually, TBH, don't know who Sting is. Oh well.

[Sa'ar Chasm]

Oy, kids today.

Sting was the lead singer for the Police, notable for his absurdly high vocals. He went on to have his own non-falsetto, rather boring solo career. The high point was when he guest-starred on the Simpsons during the Well episode.

The shoe-banging and the "We will bury you" might not be the same event (I don't recall right now and it's nearly midnight). To the best of my recollection, the Soviet representative to the UN (or possibly Brezhnev, who happened to be visiting), took off his shoe and banged it on his desk to make a point, that point being that the Communist governments would bury the western capitalist democracies.

So...um...nice fiver, eh?

[Anonymous]

Thanks for the kind words guys and gals. :)

I'm working on a couple of others, but I need to wrestle Season 2 from Mom.

Hopefully soon!

Thanks again! :wink:

If I can trust my Spycraft 60's Decade book, it comes from Premier Nikita Chrushchev.

The song is "Russians," from "Dream of the Blue Turtles," and he's referencing Krushchev.

In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, 'We will bury you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent to put
Words in the mouth of the president
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says 'We will protect you'
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you."
Too bad he didn't say "We will rock you."

[Opium]

DS9 so totally fivers rule!

So does talking like it's the early to mid 1990's!

[e of pi]

Agreed.

[mudshark]

Sisko: But they're coming to take you away!
Dax: Ha ha? Heh. Napoleon who? :D

[e of pi]

I love that song. And those white coats are very stylish. I have personal experience :wink:
