August 3 (CW FINALE)
Welcome to Day 32 -- the END of Cliffhanger Week! (Why 32? Because it's 2 to the fifth power, fool.) Here's what we've got: <ul>[*]First, here's the rest of Kira's amazing comic fiver for "The Best of Both Worlds."[*]Second, the last in our First Fiver Retrospectives series is my own, taking a look at the very first fiver not just by me, but by anyone: "Caretaker."[*]And finally, this year's panel event concludes with the very long Cliffhangers, Part 7 by me.[/list] And that's almost a wrap! Cliffhanger Week is done, but the fifth-anniversary event isn't quite -- I have a few words to say about this milestone we've reached. I'll say them in a special article tomorrow, and I'll also let you guys know what's coming up at 5M in the next few months. As for CW, however, this really truly is the end. I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who contributed -- especially the staff, who have been working on this for over a year now. Kira deserves particular credit for all the formatting work she put in, without which I would have had a much harder time making these updates (especially those first 20 big ones in 20 consecutive days!). And finally, thanks to all you readers, who have driven our hitcounts high throughout this event and given us plenty of feedback. This event was worthy of the occasion, and I'm grateful to everyone who made that so. (One more thing: there are a few fivers intended for CW that weren't ready in time for the finale. They'll be appearing as they're completed. They're part of CW in spirit -- if you like, think of them as DVD extras or something.) |
Holy rusted metal, Batman--I have lines! Fantastic. :) (Thanks for saving me, SC...)
Wait. The conclusion is to be continued? *mind boggles* Cool retrospective, too. You know you've started something big when people start establishing academic disciplines dedicated to picking you apart. Or is a fiverologist a little less reputable, like a ufologist? Awesome comic. cw rulz! |
Once again, I must say... more comic fivers! More! :D
|
Great comic fiver, Kira.

Excellent conclusion, Zeke. Quote:
Your retrospective was great, Zeke. I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for writing the parody that launched a thousand fivers (or whatever). (btw, the page title for your retrospective still says Kira) |

Top form, Zeke. Oh, and self-deprecation caught altitude sickness and wandered into a fissure in its delirium. Also: ovipositor *twitch* |

(Scott Kurtz did it first) Awesome work, Z! Truly, hilarity all round! :D |
Yayness! 'Tis awesome!

I loved the bit lifted from "Rose," but the whole final Cliffhangers was excellent, too. |
Oooooooooooo :D :D
*gets down to reading* Good stuff in the Retrospective, Zeke. :) Quote:

...in fact, ROFL at the entire rest of it, especially Nan's cameo :lol:. |
wow! What a great retrospective! I still remember way back then... it's great isnt' it? ;) I remember sending in my first guest fiver and being told it was too long... sigh how the mighty have fallen. ;)

Most excellent stuff, of wise master Zeke and mistr...err... Kira. A most fitting conclusion to the event indeed (OR IS IT?). One teeny tiny thing though - it's Nestene Conciousness, not Nesting, unless that was intentional. |
Wow! :D
Awesome comic fiver! That was a truly great retrospective, Zeke! I must say, the Cliffhangers' 7! WAS THE BEST! ... - OR WILL IT? |
I LOVE COMIC FIVERS ENOUGH TO USE THE FORBIDDEN CAPLOCKS BUTTON!
Great Fiver, great fiver, great fiver! |
I thought having Riker actually wear 5 rank pips in the second last panel was a nice touch.
|
The fourth-to-last, too, although it's a longer shot. And take a closer look at Picard in the third-to-last panel....
|
hehe
that is cool at first I read it with the sun shining on my screen so I didn't notice it..... |
Yeah, we were all impressed with the rank pips when Kira first showed us this. Attention to detail, yo. Here's to this being only the beginning of Kira's comic-making career.

(For those who haven't seen it, most of the Sunday segment is a riff on "Rose," the pilot of the current Doctor Who series.) NAHTMMM: Clever. You know that makes you a square, though. ;) Finally, allow me to gently nudge your attention to the last line of Sa'ar's first post. It's not just random oddness. |
Just joined the forums after many a year of reading the fivers.
But anyway, Cliffhanger "Week" was great. Only fitting it should come to an end on my birthday (go figure). But enough about me! Oh, wait. That's all I had to say. Oops. [insert witty closing here] |

...what? |
And so it ends. And by leaving the last update for so long, you inadvertantly (or maybe you knew what you were doing? Aha!) created the ultimate cliffhanger.
Wait, you mean Best of Both Worlds was already a cliffhanger? Oh... Anyway Kira, it ruled, we need more! :D Zeke your First Fiver Retrospective was also well done. The whole panel discussion this year has been right on in its zaniness! This entire event has been great from the get-go, and pats on the back are needed all round. This site is still one of very few I go to every day, and this event has had me anticipating the next daily update eagerly. Perhaps I need more to do in life, but kudos where kudos is due. How will this be topped though? Holodeck-Gone-Wrong Week? Vicious Omnipotents Week? Alien-of-the-Week Week? |

Returning late from a long weekend away (family get-together for my folks' 50th anniversary), so no quotes -- I read it all just before I left, but didn't have time to post then -- just reread what everyone else has posted in the meantime and you'll get the gist of what I would have said. Good stuff, all -- the comic, the cliffhanger conclusion (?!), everything. :D

Actually, there are a couple of quotes ...

See, this is why Hitchcock's films are so awesome. Also, they have plenty of sex and violence in them.
Sex! And violence! |
Sex, violence, and Tippi Hedren.
That Hitchcock guy had some issues, I'll tell ya. |
