New Shows
Hey, is anybody planning to five Battlestar Galactic and Stargate Atlantis? If not somebody needs to.

A very good question, JD. New shows to cover are definitely on our minds here at 5MV -- with Enterprise gone, we need to branch out and attract a broader audience. (No, I'm not saying we need more broads. How did that come to mean "women," anyway? Slang is a peculiar thing.)
BSG is currently under consideration. With at least three of the five staff members interested in giving it a go, it's a safe bet there will be some kind of BSG coverage at this site in time for Season 2. As for Stargate: Atlantis, while Nan is our Stargate go-to gal, she's not interested in the spinoff IIRC; that leaves it open for someone else to take a whack at it. We'll see if anyone does. This thread is actually the perfect place for a little informal survey I've been planning to take. Of the series that will be running in the 2005-06 season, which ones are you guys most interested in seeing us cover at 5MV? (Naturally, you can name a series someone else has already mentioned, and it doesn't matter whether 5MV has done anything with it before. Non-sci-fi shows are valid candidates.) |
Cool! Thanks, Zeke for answering my question.
|
I don't know what's showing in the 05-06 season so can't help you there. These shows might be good to five though :P :
Futurama Reboot Tru Calling Red Dwarf lol oh and somebody should write some more Angel/Buffy fivers :wink: |
Futurama? But it's like a fiver of everything by itself....
|
Agreed. It's very hard to top "She's built like a steakhouse but she handles like a bistro."

24
LOST Uh, thats it. But, yeah. 24! LOST! |
Lost, I would love to see Lost. I'd five it myself if that's what it takes to bring it here.
That's all I can think of right now. |
Hm. Lost... yeah, I could mock that.

Another UPN show... "America's Next Top Model"
It'll get the women's demoghraphic AND funny to all! Except...of course...ANTM is really funny already. I was thinking CSI, but I mean, it already has a really dark, cool humour, and I don't think it could be fived easily. Same goes for L&O But there are lots of movies that could be fived-even just in the last few months, Phantom of the Opera, The Aviator, Harry Potter... I don't watch too many TV shows regulary, but... ER Boston Legal |

Don't know what happened there. ^ |

Actually, she's not only alive, she's on LiveJournal. We're still in touch, and every now and then I invite her to participate in some 5MV event or other. She hasn't been on a Farscape kick in a while -- JLU is her current squeeze -- but you never know. (Speaking of never knowing... you like Farscape, Nan? I probably did know that, but forgot along the line. I'm glad to be reminded of it, particularly today.) Quote:

ATLANTIS YAY! :mrgreen:
And secon--er, thirds LOST. |

BSG I think is a must - I, incidently, got the DVD of the mini at the end of last week, and now I'm having to sit on my hands because otherwise I'm going to be £45 poorer. I also hope to write some B5ers at some point - it seems somehow a waste buying the whole series on DVD (at £30 apeice, how could I not?) and not getting a few fivers out of it. |
I would love to take a stab at fiving 24!

I took a stab at fiving series one some time back, got three episodes in, and promptly floundered. But it's still definitely on my to-do list, so never say never. Or "soon" either, for that matter.
|
I like the idea of Lost fivers, as well as Tru Calling and Farscape. And do you think Medium would work?
|
Hmmm......5MLost.....
"This section disappeared from Zeke's pocket....It will be uploaded soon." Perhaps 24 fivers could be 24 lines long? Or all in multiples of 24 or something? |

I refused to accept it and as a result, got my ass handed to me when I discovered that it's just... not fiveable. D: |

And if I ever say "Noes," you can safely kill me, because it means I've been replaced by a Cylon. |
^ Actually, you'd probably start saying things like "Pie is Love" long before you got to that point.
|
If Pie is Love, then by inversion
Love is Pie, and sex diversion. (with apologies to Dorothy Parker) |

:D :D It's funny, too, because that's what I said in the chat. If I were a girl I'd want to be like Veronica Mars. Um...I didn't say that earlier. The other thing. About wanting to see that show fived. That. Yeah. |

Sorry, I got the author wrong -- Parker is always good for a witty quote, but this wasn't hers.
J. V. Cunningham (1911-85) Epigram #29: History of ideas If God is Love, then by inversion Love is God, and sex conversion. |
has anyone tried jag?
here the 9th season is ending today and we do not know when the 10th is going to be aired... |
Bah. The ending of JAG is "The jury finds Rabb victorious."
I stopped watching that show back in season 5. |
More movie fivers!
Especially Alien^3 and Alien: Resurrection! :x :x :x :wink: |
Gah.
I haven't seen a really good new sf movie since Minority Report. Which has been fived already. And is perfect. PERFECT, DAMN YOU. |
I recommend Payback and The Butterfly Effect... unless you have seen those and weren't counting them under good recent sf films.
|
maybe the new star wars movies or what about some older scifi....there is plenty of it around
(edith says: 12 monkeys not old but nice or gattaca, cube could be a five-seconder :wink: another one: dark city ) okay edited enough in this post |

All kidding aside, folks, IJD didn't just bring up movies as a way of poking fun at himself. One of the ideas we're currently floating around is doing more movie fivers. There's a good side and a bad side to that idea. The good side: movies are way more popular than TV, so we'd get some attention that way. (Know which single fiver shows up the most often in the referrals, and has gotten me the most fan mail? Nope, you're not even close. Five-Minute The Ring.) The bad side, of course, is that movies aren't the best way to get repeat business. Lots of people at the Ring forum liked my parody, but until a month ago, what could I do for an encore? Nonetheless, doing more movies seems like a good plan. It's on the table, between BSG and a ham sandwich. |

so what series are airing in the us anyway?
here in germany not too many.... would the simpsons be good for fiving? nip/tuck started some time ago (only first season), the oc, sex and the city, desperate housewives,er, csi miami, boston public (may be good for some voy references) ,some comedy series (king of queens, prince of bel air, and so on) another x-files fivers? |
I've recently seen "The Grudge" and "The Amityville Horror", you could always try them. They might be a little hard, though.
Ghost: BLAH! People: AHHH! |
