It's Day 15, so welcome to Week 3 of Cliffhanger Week! (Wait...) <ul>[*]First up is the conclusion of my TNG fiver: "Descent II" by me. By the way, I forgot to mention yesterday that both parts draw on past TNG fivers such as Marc's "I, Borg", Derek's "Brothers", and my "The Best of Both Worlds." You'll get more out of "Descent" if you reread them.[*]And let's not forget the Occupation Arc. Today we've got -- wait a sec. Where's the file? No, wait, here it is! It was hidden "Behind the Lines." This one is Derek's contribution to the arc, and the last of the seven (!) DS9 fivers he wrote for this event. (His S7 two-parter from the subsite anniversary earlier this month was transferred over from CW.)[*]I just realized I owe Marc and IJD an apology. I completely forgot that they both have several months on Kira in terms of official involvement with 5MV. I'm just in the habit of listing us in that order -- Zeke, Kira, Marc, IJD, Derek. Anyway, right day or wrong, here's Kira's First Fiver Retrospective, looking back on "Concerning Flight." (True story: In the first draft, Kira herself was the one thrown out the airlock in the last scene. I made her change it because I have a policy of saving "meta" stuff like author cameos for very special occasions. Little did I know that Kira's first fiver would eventually be a special occasion.)[/list] Be here tomorrow for Day 16 or I'll put a hex on you. |

And excellent rules, Kira. Rule 24 is of course the ruling rule. But where was Rule 47? |
It eloped with Rule 42 last week. I heard they're in Quebec somewhere.
I suspect that some of these jokes were too subtle for me, but I enjoyed the fivers nonetheless (and the reetrospective too, of course). A question, Zeke - will we being seing more of these once this event has finished? Oh, and did you get my PM okay? |
:D Absolutely Hilarious!
Zeke, now we know where all that content has been going for so long! :D This is no week event! ;) |
Oh boy ...

Could be I haven't watched enough Buffy and Angel -- seems to be more than a little of that here. Quote:

(Remember, this was written for the 5MNG anniversary. Both this bit and Ensign Richard in the first part were tips of the hat to Marc.) |

Wait, is that the guy who let vampires use him as a cocktail bar?
|
yep, that's the one. As much spark as a wet dishrag.

I like Riley. He sure was a jerk in Season 5, though. That was the classic example of writers getting ticked at the fans for not liking a character. "Don't like Riley, huh? Fine -- we'll give you a reason to hate him."
|
He wasn't dislikable per se, but compared to the rest of the cast he was just so boring. Maybe the actor would be better on another show. *shrug* I dunno, some people just have charisma and presence even without speaking, and some people barely part the atmosphere when they walk into a room.
