Sorry about the missing update yesterday -- I had no Net access. Â But now I'm back with a fiver. Â Here's Next Gen's "The Perfect Mate," by Marc. Â (Every time I type that, I type "prefect" instead of "perfect" and have to backspace. Â Blame [iost_uid0]Farscape[/iost_uid0]'s "A Prefect Murder.")[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]There's only one problem with that fiver, though... it manages to not clearly include one of the key plot twists -- namely, that Kamara winds up bonding to Picard when she's supposed to bond to Alrik. ("I like who I am when I'm with you," or something to that effect.) Fortunately, though, she can still fake it. -- Pteryx[/colorost_uid0]

Heheh. That caught my eye right away. Then I spotted the "shades of gray" bit and at least one other title too. [quoteost_uid0]Kamala: Will you visit me from time to time? We could listen to Mozart, make love, talk about archaeology.... Picard: Kamala, please stop doing this. There's only so much temptation a man can take.[/quoteost_uid0] Heeheehee.[/colorost_uid0]

There's a total of five Star Trek titles in this one, which I think is the most I've ever used in a single fiver. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Great fiver, Marc. Though I can't help reading "Brian" whenever I see "Briam".
[quoteost_uid0]Briam: She also produces elevated levels of sexual pheromones. She should be kept away from your crew to avoid distracting them. Picard: Perhaps that would be best. Commander Riker, please escort this lady to some guest quarters. Riker: Hmm? I'm sorry -- did you say something, Captain uh...er.... Picard: The name's Picard. Riker: Right. I knew that.[/quoteost_uid0] Heh.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Hmm, I only caught four episode titles.
[quoteost_uid0]Picard: Was this the place that launched a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Ilium? [/quoteost_uid0]Mr Marlowe, I presume? [quoteost_uid0]Picard: You mean like King Charles the Third and Queen Camilla? [/quoteost_uid0]Heh. [quoteost_uid0]Kamala: I am for you, Alrik of Valt. [/quoteost_uid0]I was expecting this line at Kamala's first appearance, for some reason, but you fooled me. There were at least a couple of other TOS references and the James Bond one, but if there was an X-Men quip in there, I missed it.[/colorost_uid0]

When you noticed the Goldeneye reference, did you also catch the part about Dr. Crusher's ThighMaster machine? I couldn't resist throwing that in. [quoteost_uid0]but if there was an X-Men quip in there, I missed it. [/quoteost_uid0] Nope, I honestly forgot that she was in the X-Men films. In fact, I never saw either X-Men movie.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Very enjoyable fiver, Marc!
All my favorite quotes are gone already. I must admit I had to look "Ilium" up to get the penny to drop completely, as I had never heard the city called quite by that name before. A reference to an upcoming big movie as well as the original epic, maybe? Â [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yeah, caught that. I was trying to figure out where I'd seen a reference to it before, but haven't succeeded as yet. [quoteost_uid0]In fact, I never saw either X-Men movie. [/quoteost_uid0] I've not seen them, either. I'm just remembering an episode discussion here back around the time the first X-Men movie was out -- someone expressed surprise that Famke Janssen had been in a Star Trek episode. [quoteost_uid0]Though I can't help reading "Brian" whenever I see "Briam" [/quoteost_uid0]Or, if you change another letter, it fits quite nicely with the "Ilium" line. [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yup, I too was searching for the X-men reference When I saw the first X-men movie it was driving me crazy trying to figure out where I had seen "Jean Grey" before, I finally figured out after a quick IMDB search and had to watch my copy of the episode to confirm.
Great fiver of one of my favorite episodes of the series.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Wow! Great fiver! Favourite parts:
[quoteost_uid0]Computer: Warning -- ambient temperature levels approaching the combustion point of Starfleet uniform material. Riker: Computer, disengage internal sensors in this room, authorization Riker Theta Omicron Sigmmm...mmmmh...uhmmm.... [/quoteost_uid0] [quoteost_uid0]Beverly: Why so gloomy, Jean-Luc? Are you growing attached to Kamala? Picard: Yes, and I'm having trouble picturing what she'll transform into once she finally meets the Chancellor. Beverly: From what I've seen of Alrik, my guess would be a cross between a stockbroker and a bureaucrat. Picard: Oh, thanks a million for that particular image. [/quoteost_uid0] [quoteost_uid0]Briam: Even an elderly man like me finds it hard to resist Kamala's charms. I am perplexed at how you managed to do so. Picard: Please keep your insinuations to yourself, Ambassador. I already get enough of those whenever Q drops by for a visit. Briam: Q? Q who? Picard: He's an omnipotent being. Briam: I wish I could still say the same for myself. Ah, to be young again.... [/quoteost_uid0] Along with many jokes quoted already... Marc`s sophisticated-yet-ludicrously-funny writing style never fails to crack me up. He is like "Yes (Prime) Minister", that seems like a theatrical play but is the most deliriously funny comedy TV series I`ve ever seen, EDIT - PHJ, my friend, it was nice knowing you... [/colorost_uid0]

And I found that scene hilarious too. In a terrifying, disturbing way.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]You should have recorded 28 out of 38 episodes when they were on TV, like I did, "UNESCO? Gallant little country!" "We can`t have alphabetical seating arrangements! Imagine... Iraq, Iran, Israel and Jordan all in the same row!" [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]They show it on UK Gold, but there's always someone wanting to watch something else. That of course is if I remember that its on in the first place.
