Presumably one where you had gone missing or the one where people discuss time travel phenomena.

[edit] Peeking at the list, the last one is correct.

That sounds like a videogame I haven't played yet. Final Fantasy Tactics?

Yup! The third chapter of the fiver, strictly, but I think every iteration of that joke is funny. Your turn.

I wouldn't know that one if I hadn't been reading some of the other videogame fivers last night (and not just because I expected a Mega Man quote from you). It's from Half Life.


"Brigadier, leave this doll factory at once!"
"Sorry, General, I've got a view to a kill and I'm going to use it!"

Well, it's Doctor Who, and not the recent one.

Beyond that, I haven't got much.

Okay! Here's my reasoning: first line makes it clear that this is an Auton episode. It has to be the old series since I did the only new-series fiver involving Autons and would thus recognize it immediately (and anyway, the Brig is in it). I have no idea which old serials had Autons in them -- besides "Terror of the Autons", which we don't have a fiver for. However, the blurb for "Spearhead From Space" has a dummy joke in it, so that's my guess. Nah?

Nice. (Side note: how were you expecting me to quote a Mega Man fiver? So far, they're all by me.)

"Blecch, how could you possibly still have had Jack's gum?"

Oh, that's true. Um . . . it was late at night? And I wanted an excuse to read videogame fivers? Okay, I just forgot about that rule. But the other reasons are true too.

Didn't ring a bell the first time I looked at it. Now that I look at it again, it still doesn't ring a bell. Since it implies someone going around kissing everyone, I'd guess something like The OC . . . except I don't remember the fiver having a prosaic name like Jack in it.


. . . Plus, I guess you wrote the fiver anyway . . .

Hint: Valium would get this one quickly. I thought Nate would too, but that's because I always forget he's not one of our several fans of the series in question.

No? Okay, it's from Scooter's fiver of "New Earth", the first regular Tenth Doctor episode of Doctor Who. The gum first appeared in "The Parting of the Ways", the last Ninth Doctor episode, in which too much kissing takes place.

Here's a softball. "The world of men is once again doomed."

Lord of the Rings?

Edit: I didn't specify which part of the trilogy it was from, does that count? Plus I went and Googled it so I can't guess it now.

Yeah, I'll count it. I had to check which part too. (Two Towers.) You're up.

My gut reaction says Worf in TNG.

It's about Worf, but not said by Worf.

We need some context, I think. This could be from any episode with Worf in it.
