February 16
 

We do a lot of events here at 5M.net. Usually they're based on either launching a new subsite or significantly expanding the content of an existing one. But there's another kind of event we've never done, and which by definition we had to do sooner or later.


The end of a subsite.


In four years of operation, IJD GAF's Five-Minute Star Trek subsite has been one of our most popular and successful. But with only three seasons of content (four counting TAS), it was bound to run out faster than the other Treks. And so with 21 episodes left as we approached the fourth anniversary, IJD decided it was time to finish them off and make an event of it.


For the next seven days, we'll be publishing three fivers a day, leading up to the fourth anniversary on February 22. There'll also be Top 10 lists, TJI articles, and of course one of our trademark panel discussions. So without further ado, here's the beginning of the end....
<ul>[*]Five-Minute "A Private Little War," by IJD;[*]Five-Minute "The Empath," by Kristina;[*]Five-Minute "That Which Survives," by Derek;[*]The Top 10 Rejected Plotlines for a Star Trek/Smallville Crossover Episode, also by Derek;[*]and Minutemen, Part 1: "Bad Dudes", by me.[/list]

*GROAN* xD

*hysterical giggliing*

*Still laughing at the previous scene. I am way too fond of that joke.*

*znerk*

*snicker*

I'm getting Zoidberg vibes off this guy.

Arrrrgh!

Ahhh, that Kirk.

*snicker*

I always approve of geekish references.

Oh, that Kirk...

Toy with my expectations, why don't you.

Oh, that Kirk...

Also, T'omato. Hah!

*znerk* Oh, that...you get the idea.

Good work, all.

Finally! I can tell! Cool! It's a TOS event with panel! There. Oh, and good work. Nice fivers.

Great gag!

A graduate of the Phlox medical academy, I see.

Village People. Heh. And I remember Guns, Germs, and Steel as a book I was supposed to read, but never finished.

On to the next fiver....

Heh.

Heh again.

Nice fivers, IJD and Kristina, and nice Panel, Zeke.

Clark and Lex fight Kirk and Spock with swords; needless to say, there's lots of slashing

Heh.

Do I get in the panel for not telling til now?

Hallowed are the Pah Wr- uh, Ori.

:)

Now *that* is a super-protonic auto-masher if ever I saw one :P

*Bows*

Good stuff

I also noticed that the disclaimer is lacking it's disclaimer-ness in the panel, Zeke, you never miss the details!

Also, e of pi: Blackmail will get you nowhere, Zeke doesn't HAVE to put you in the panel. Heck, he could ban you at any time!

We must live in fear of Zeke and the Hammer of Smiting!

Also, we must give him pie!

Notice it was phrased as a request for a reward, not as a threat to travel back in time by spinning the plane....wait, this is Trek...slingshoting around the sun and talking about it in a mildly diffent alternate timeline.

he still doesn't have to even CONCIDER it, unless Zeke is feeling extra awesomer that how awesome he already is

Of course! There's no way you can waste time playing video games!

...Unless said video game is played with a Power Glove. Then there's something wrong with you.

I didn't say he had to. Hence, the throwaway mention. I don't acctually believe it'll happen.

Besides, if you did, you'd have to constantly make at least one irrelevant comment in each scene before trying to make another :P

hee hee hee

These were just packed with jokes. Awesome job!

Dude, eBay!

:lol: I didn't get this until the second reading. The Guardian of Forever is embarrassed about its weight, poor thing?

Very clever!

Aw, Star Trekkin'. A true classic!
