Run for Executive Producer

[Opium]

I demand satisfaction!

And it's not just spoilers. Many candidates are going so far as to make promises, which may or may not be remembered later. I've even been informed of one extreme case where a candidate has decided to listen to what the voters want!

I want spoilers! I want promises made! GIMME GIMME GIMME!

No one has addressed my list of concerns! Are you all talking with your advisors, your consoltants, your speechwriters, instead of just giving a detailed answers to what I asked?

I am a Bandwagon Voter, and I approve this message!

[Alexia]

Sorry Opium, I totally missed your list!

Hmmm, the entire DS9 cast? I dunno...how about some quest appearances? I am all for great, great, great grandparents :wink: That's what prequel's are for :wink:

Hey, good idea! Porthos is so cute. I reckon maybe Hoshi could own a widdle doggy too?

Sadly, this candidate has no clue who these people are. However, if you could elaborate I could consider it :mrgreen:

I totally agree. You live in Canada, right? Move to England and watch the re-runs on BBC2. No adverts :wink: Unfortunantly, that is in the hands of the channel it is shown on.

Archer is strong, but more episodes where he shows it would be nice. EFG will have to come back to explain where he went. (I'm thinking "on vacation." What? Evil future people go on vacation...)

The forum seems to be split on this. I know that some people would like less of this, and some more so I shall say my official view on this is "Appropriate use of shirtless Trip should be activley encouraged."

You got it :mrgreen:

Suprisingly, I am totally with you on this. I thought right from the start that they would make a great couple. Maybe Travis could date her for a bit first though? Or not. Whatever! I just feel a bit sorry for poor Travis. Aha! Got it! He can be like Harry Kim and have alien babe of the week to lust after!

Hey, wow :shock: I totally didn't see that! Honestly! We are SO on the same wave length :wink:

Yup. More character developments.

You dont think its doing that? What would you like to see?

Weeeeeeeeell...I think it needs more of a balance. But we don't want to totally lose the action.

LMAO! Yes. Balance it out.

While I understand this point, I wouldn't totally ignore "time" as a plot device. Occasionally I also think, 'so, anything going to happen in Archers time this episode? No? Oh, alright then...'

Gee, you sure want some conflicting things here Opium! To reitterate my earlier point, balance is what Enterprise needs now. The mix of slow and fast pace is what will keep it interesting.

I hope that this answers your questions Opium, and that perhaps might share your views enough for a Vote for Sexy!

And if it somehow doesn't, please remember I was the one handing out the pie :wink: :mrgreen:

[Nic Corelli]

Um, yeah...

We offer whatever Lexy said, but twice as much, :P :twisted:

Vote Niroc! Or just Ni! for short, :mrgreen:

[Opium]

I totally agree with balance.

No really. Then it gets the most viewers and keeps on the air, which better than the other UPN options... "Buffy's Next Top Amish WWE Model"

But as the Pink Floyd song says, we don't need no thought control. However, we do need Sa'ar Chasm, but whether he is dark or not is of no concern.

So, Enterprise needs less thought control by "da Man" but more sarcasm.

Also, it needs to keep it's old timeslot. I ended up switching, and I may end up using my Wednesday tv-time for watching new eps of Law & Order and old eps of CSI, thereby leaving no time for Enterprise.

the Exec must promise to bring Eric Szmanda, James Marsters, Nicholas Brendon, and Noah Wyle onto Enterprise

Sadly, this candidate has no clue who these people are. However, if you could elaborate I could consider it

What? A candidate who does not know about any hotties?
Eric Szmanda is the messy haired young cutey on CSI.
James Marsters played Spike on Buffy.
Nicholas Brandom played Xander on Buffy.
Noah Wyle plays Dr Carter on ER.

Now you understand why they NEED to be on!
And Spike (James Marsters) could concievably be on Enterprise. If they have alien Nazis, they can have Spike.

Oh! Another Demand!

Alien Nazis plotline is to be replaced with Spike!

Ah, I do know Eric, I just didn't know his name :wink: I am afraid I don't watch Buffy. I apologise! And OF COURSE Noah Wyle is Carter *slaps hand to head*

As for getting them on Enterprise...I'll see what I can do. Maybe Noah could be hot alien guy of the week? :wink:

In that case, you should sign up to receive my campaign statements. I've already made several promises that should make you, personally, a very happy person.

It's not called opt-in for nothing.

[Opium]

I have decided that, as no-one has totally satisfied my every want and need, I am running for the election also.

My party is called the "Better-plotted-and-timelined Universe's Hub-party", or "BUH" for short.

My party platform is as follows:
-Enterprise will be more like the superior Treks: DS9 and TNG.
-Archer will shave his head
-Archer will notice Porthos is lonely, and adopt a wirehaired dachsund.
-I will do my best to contract Eric Szmanda and Noah Wyle into guest-starring roles.
-Since James Marsters and Nicholas Brendon aren't doing much these days, and used to be on UPN, I will offer them standard long-term contracts to reprise their Buffy roles.
-Out with the Alien Nazis, in with the Vamps with Soul and Lovable Funny Guy
-Better props...the retro-future look is fun!
-Better costumes...less blue-grey, more sophisticated black, green, pink, and yellow!


My secondary platforms are as stated:
Enterprise needs strong leadership and more Evil Future Guy!
Enterprise needs more appropriate times for Trip to take off his shirt.
Enterprise needs more tention between Trip, T'Pol and Archer.
Enterprise needs Archer to date Hoshi.
Enterprise needs Hoshie to date Mayweather, and him to date her back.


VOTE FOR "BUH" and Opium. I'm in theatre; that's close enough!

[Alexia]

Opium...*wishes I hadn't spent so long typing that reply to your post*

Vote Lexy & Sab. We listen to our voters and try to compromise so everyone is 99% happy, even when they don't appreciate it :wink: [/i]

[Opium]

Don't worry, Lexy. I never said I wouldn't vote for you. I did appreciate your post very much!

I just said I was starting my own party so I would be 100% satisfied instead of just 99% satisfied that I tried to get everything I wanted.

[Alexia]

OK :wink: :mrgreen:

[catalina_marina]

Opium, you're weird. :roll:

[Opium]

Opium, you're weird.

So are you, Cat, so are you. :wink:

And yes, I have both facts for a long time. One longer than the other, though.

[catalina_marina]

^Same here, but presumably the other one. :wink:

[Opium]

^Same here, but presumably the other one.

I hope so...I just watched Fatal Attraction, so my gaurd is on extra-high! :P

[catalina_marina]

Well I have been known to spy on forumgoers... But I don't think anyone has ever accused me of following their every move before we even met. :wink:

[Chancellor Valium]

I, TOO will stand for Exec. I promise to make sweeping and fun changes, demand more space combat Star Trek games, introduce the Lyrans and Hydrans to the screen, add way more fun CGI battles, and my most radical change: Make Zaphod Beeblebrox President of the Federation. I shall have a new series for all the annoying characters, and move them all there. It shall be called Star Trek: All the Annoying Ones Who Get In The Way On One Starship Together Having Massive Rows, or ST:AOWGITWOOSTHMR -and also a series for all the good characters we like, called Star Trek All the Good Character Who Do Stuff And Aren't Annoying On One Ship Not Having Massive Rows, or ST:AGCWDSAAAOOSNHMR
And finally, a series all about data, called Star Trek: Datafile, where he commands a starship into the middle of nowhere and waits for a passing asteroid to destroy the ship. Crew: 2. Him and Wesley Crusher. Finally, I shall get crossovers made which aren't just crossover-fests! And I will not allow more than 3 Time-related stories in as many seasons.
That is most of my Manifesto for New Valium! Vote New Valium Today and Get a Free Sticker!*

*Must vote before end of reign of King Alfred the Great in England.

[Asky]

So, by the time of the election, everyone will have one vote: themselves.

Except for the teams, who will, in fact, have two votes.

[Chancellor Valium]

No, because if I don't get to be exec, I will sieze it by force, and replace Star Trek with a new series (exactly like the old series) of Blake's 7 ! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[PointyHairedJedi]

Gah, stupid double post. Damn you, double post, damn you!

*Shakes fist*

[PointyHairedJedi]

Well, in which case I'm definitely not voting for you!
