The countdown is over: here's Five-Minute "Countdown." There are almost certainly errors in the fiver, because I'm in a [iost_uid0]huge[/iost_uid0] rush right now. Why? Because I haven't seen the finale yet and it's on tape and it's past midnight and my brother's home now and time is running out and I [iost_uid0]GOTTA WATCH IT, DAMN YOU![/iost_uid0]


Yeah, enjoy the fiver.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Arg, I keep reading the fivers before I've seen the episode! Stupid England being behind the US! OK, don't tell me what happens in the finale yet!

Good fiver, btw! :lol:

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Great fiver! Nice DS9 references. I caught a few episode titles in there ("A Time to Stand", "Sons and Daughters"), Emissary references, good stuff.

And of course, Evil Female Borg Future Shapeshifter Queen Guy, though I guess that's not entirely a DS9 reference.[/colorost_uid0]

Three references in one title? Very nice. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Archer: Why that one? Why not one of the other integral spheres?
T'Pol: Sphere 41 is a *definite* integral sphere. The others are indefinite.
[/quoteost_uid0]

LOL, now THAT was definitely unforgivable!

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Lots and lots of good stuff in this one!

[quoteost_uid0]T'Pol: It appears that certain spheres are particularly integral to the anomaly system. Sphere 12, for example, is integral; Sphere -4.7 and Sphere π are not.
Tucker: We think if we go to Sphere 41 we can kill the whole ballpark.
Archer: Why that one? Why not one of the other integral spheres?
T'Pol: Sphere 41 is a definite integral sphere. The others are indefinite.

Sato: Comfy comfy comfy comfy....
Dolim: This is going too slowly. Prepare the Anti-Mental-Resistance Brainwash Parasites!
Sato: Oh no! What do they do?

...
Dolim: At last! Activate the weapon!
Reptile Xindi: Activating in 5... 4... 3...
Dolim: No, start the count higher. We need to give the enemy fleet time to arrive.
Enemy Fleet: Hello.
Dolim: Never mind.

...
Enterprise: SURPRISE LAUNCH FROM INSIDE AN AQUATIC SHIP!
Reptile and Insectoid Ships: Huh. That looked cool, but what was the point?
Enterprise: When you look that cool, you don't need a point.

...
Evil Transdimensional Being 2: Generating big honkin' anomaly....
...
Reed: A huge anomaly just appeared! It's killing ships and protecting the weapon! And it's... honking?

...
Reed: No tears for your commander?
MACO: We're too macho to cry.
Reed: Well, I'll be commanding you now.
MACOs: WAAAAAAAAAA![/quoteost_uid0]
