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 also tried. Well, mentally tried, anyway, after Zeke said, "Noes, we've tried, it can't be done!"

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:

More accurately, what I said was that Kira had tried. Someone else might be able to do it. These things are influenced by personality and attitude and dairy products and such.

And if I ever say "Noes," you can safely kill me, because it means I've been replaced by a Cylon.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)

One thing to say about that:

: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.

You know, that sounds familiar, but I can't find the original on Google. How does it go?

Sorry, I got the author wrong -- Parker is always good for a witty quote, but this wasn't hers.

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

Allow me to save Kira a little time: "Hey, she said good new sf movies."

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.

Don't get any mustard on BSG, please.

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!
