[color=#000000ost_uid0]Whoo, what a lovely [bost_uid0]birthday[/bost_uid0] present, Zeke! New fivers--just what I was [bost_uid0]wish[/bost_uid0]ing for! :bigsmile:

"Prayer" was great all the way through. Several parts that stood out for me:
[quoteost_uid0]Crichton: What definition of "critically-acclaimed" are we using here?
Scorpius: Those who failed to acclaim it are in critical condition.

Rygel: They're taking too long. I say we leave immediately.
Chiana: How can you say that?
Rygel: I always say that. What's the situation again?[/quoteost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0]Crichton: And I don't want to know what that thing is.
DRD'Argo: Shut up.[/quoteost_uid0]

This one cracked me up:
[quoteost_uid0]
Scorpius: Very well. On an unrelated topic, may I borrow your gun again?
Crichton: Okay. But what could you possibly be planning to --
Aeryiana: GAK!
Crichton: Scorpius, you unpredictable fiend![/quoteost_uid0]



The Buffy fiver was good too.
[quoteost_uid0]Xander: Well, I for one have decided I'm better off. What did Cordy ever do for me besides permanently sacrifice her social standing? It's not like she was incredibly hot and genuinely cared about me. I mean, come on, I didn't exactly throw away every guy's dream girlfriend. Will?
Willow: Yes?
Xander: Hold me.[/quoteost_uid0]
*sniggers*

[quoteost_uid0]Vampire: GRRRR! Oh, wait, is this a dramatic scene? I can come back.
Buffy: You do that. But first, die.[/quoteost_uid0]

The best part was probably
[quoteost_uid0]Vampire Willow: She also mentioned the Slayer.
The Master: What? Go kill her before she can do it again![/quoteost_uid0]
Now that I think about it, sometimes the archvillain does seem to have an allergic reaction to some phrase that a good guy always manages to blurt out...



[quoteost_uid0]Cordelia: Whoa. That was weird. I had a vision, and severe pain, and... okay, I guess it wasn't weird.
Angel: Cordelia! Answer us!
Wesley: It's no good... her body's out of commission, though her spirit may just be invisible somewhere else in the room, watching us and talking about things not being weird.
Cordelia: Well, obviously I stand corrected.[/quoteost_uid0]
Heeheehee.

And this exchange was great:
[quoteost_uid0]Angel: Hey, you're a gelatinous cube!
Conduit: What? First of all, I'm made of stone, and second, I'm on fire.
Angel: Oh. I kinda thought all big underground cubes were gelatinous.
Conduit: You realize your chances of getting help from me just dropped to about one percent.[/quoteost_uid0]


The best parts of the TNG fiver were
[quoteost_uid0]Lieutenant Nara: No, except he kept going around muttering "Empathic echos in the nacelle tube make Dan something something."

...
Troi: Yes. I sense dead people.

Crusher: My expert medical opinion is that you shouldn't try to sense the dead people again.
Troi: Try sensing the dead people again? Thanks, that's a great idea!
Riker: You'll need people of intelligence on this sort of mission. Quest. Thing.
Worf: That rules you out. Where are we going?
Troi: The empathic echo was forged deep in the nacelle tube, in fires of the plasma vents. Only there can it be destroyed.
[/quoteost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0]Worf: Commander, I have a hypothetical situation for you. If a Klingon security chief wished to mate with a Betazoid counsellor --
Riker: Stay away from my girl, Worf.
Worf: If she were your girl, you wouldn't have to tell me that. Besides, you know what they say about all good things.
Riker: You're just asking for an insurrection, buster.
Worf: You leave me no choice. (ahem) Worf and Troi, sitting in a --
Riker: Okay, okay, you can go out with her. I just hope you're not too attached to your beard.[/quoteost_uid0]
That entire paragraph was about a 'ship, I'm sure of that much, but I don't think it was W/T... :smile:

[quoteost_uid0]La Forge: Let's see what the scanner can -- whoa. I see a dead people.
Body: I'm not dead.
Troi: Yes, you are. You're in a bulkhead.
Body: I feel better. I think I'll go for a walk.
La Forge: Data, you're not fooling anyone. Stop throwing your voice.
Data: Aw.[/quoteost_uid0]
:lol: That was great!
[quoteost_uid0]Troi: ...so when Pierce murdered the other two and then killed himself, he left an imprint in the corridor that made me and Kwan hallucinate.
Worf: That doesn't make much sense.[/quoteost_uid0]
Troi's hallucinations never seem to make sense, do they? Loved the jumpin' good blurb for this one, though. Great fiver.


[quoteost_uid0][Insert the first half-dozen paragraphs of "Emanations" here][/quoteost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0]Torres: Captain, dead bodies keep appearing on Voyager and the subspace thingumies that deliver them are really dangerous.
Tuvok: Plus, y'know, dead bodies are just creepy.[/quoteost_uid0]
I liked that one in particular too.

And the long-awaited blurb for "All Good Things..." is great too.
All in all, the update was well worth waiting for.[/colorost_uid0]
