September 6: 5MNG 3rd Anniversary, day 2
 

Back with day two of the 5MNG birthday festivities, and here's another trio of fivers. Today, we've got another contribution from Wade, Five-Minute "Legacy." Secondly, just in time for Labour Day, the Enterprise gives birth in Five-Minute "Emergence," co-written by Nic Corelli and Sa'ar Chasm. Last but not least, Five-Minute "Sarek" by IJD GAF and yo' momma. (No, just IJD GAF.)


In other news, let's hear it for Space Channel and their Labour Day Voyager Viewer's Choice Marathon! (Let's also hear it for my lab experiment not working, landing me home in time to catch most of the good stuff!) Sweeeet.

Heheheh. :mrgreen: Good stuff.



:lol:

:lol: Lots of other great stuff in this one too.



Heheheh :mrgreen: I like the blurb too.

Gaaah! It hurts (but in a good way)!

ROFL!

*snicker*

Illogic is only a lie if someone other than Sarek does it.

Badgers? We don't need no steenking badgers!

What the hell were we thinking?

17, I disclaim any responsibility for this one. I blame Nic.

This one, however, I accept blame (and beatings) for.

Heh. Nice one, Wade.

Heh. Way to go, Nic and Sa'ar.

And IJD, "Your mother" jokes are never out of style. If you don't believe me, just ask your mom.

Since Kira declined to use this in the newspost, I'll have to tell it to you all directly: don't you think Labour Day is the perfect day for an episode where the Enterprise gives birth? :D

Fantastic fivers, all four of you. If this event is typical, 5MNG is heading into its greatest year yet.

Uhh, Zeke?

Awww, you're too kind <blush>

I second that, along with a not-so-muffled snicker. (What I said was, oh darn, I can't use it if we switch the order of the fivers. Which we then didn't.)

Bah-dum-bum-ching! Loved the mother jokes, particularly:

Also, the Tuvok/Endgame reference. (Ah, IJD... it's funnier than a barrel of weasels on crack.)

Yep, I earned that. For not the first and not the last time, I've missed something that was right in front of me. Stay tuned for next week when I survive getting shot in the face by simply not noticing.

And as always, I was flattered by the reference to one of my fivers (Endgame this time, as you say, Kira). You staffers are doing more and more of that lately. I think it's a plot.

Just wait till you read [NAME OF FIVER OMITTED].

:D :wink:

Good bits ...

from "Legacy" (of the many references and allusions)
Sweet, that last. 8)

from "Emergence"
Heh. And "meese". Heh heh heh.
Now, that's just silly.

from "Sarek"
Riker's having a tough time of it this week, isn't he? :mrgreen:

Another fine crop. Good job, all! :D

(Sa'ar & Nic, something early on in your fiver seemed to hint at "How the Animals of the Wood Sent Out A Scientific Expedition", but I may have only been imagining it -- wouldn't be the first time.)

OK, 3 more :shock: :mrgreen:

I read Sa'ar's and nics first, purely for this quote:
I LOVE IT! Sa'ar, you rock boy 8) The old one's are always the best :wink:

Also,

How very Janeway :wink: :lol:

And,
Poirot makes his fiver debut? :wink:

Nicely done guys. TO THE BATCAV--I mean, NEXT FIVER!

A scathing satire of 19th century science's pomposity...but I can't quite see the similarity. Which bits hinted at it?

All very funny. Though some of "Emergence" pretty much sucked - all the bits that you'd imagine being said in a Croatian accent, strangely.

;)

:P :P :P

**Nic unleashes Oddity on Pointy, takes steroids and goes to read 5 fivers in a row...**

The perils of many years of reading; my mind makes associations that weren't intended -- in this case between the appearance of the train in the second scene and the appearance of the "Vernal Equinox" in the middle of Part 1 of the Twain. (It's been years since I read that story; at first I couldn't even remember for sure who had written it.)

Well, there was an train in the episode, so you can blame the original writer.

To quote Scotty, "Easy laddie, everyone's entitled to an opinion." Now, with that said, I'm not sure that that sort of second-guessing of a fiver is really necessary, after all, if I stopped writing fivers just because mine suck, well, where'd be the fun in that? And there is nothing holding you back from writing more than one fiver yourself.

I might be misreading but I think Pointy's comment was just a joke about Nic:
See that ;) ? I think he's just kidding - and if I'm wrong - may lightning strike me down from where I type!

(*looks nervously up in the sky*)

Two things. One, I'm sure Xeroc's right about what PHJ meant. Two, PHJ has written more than one fiver -- you've just only seen one. ;)
