ost_uid0]-23. You take pride in your ability to tell who wrote a new fiver by reading the first few lines of the fiver (kinda like that game show where you name the song titles). You take great offense at any suggestions that you merely cheat by looking at the author line beneath the episode title.-23.b. You do not, in fact, need to peek at the author line to tell who wrote it.[/color ost_uid0]

[quote
ost_uid0="NAHTMMM"][color=#000000ost_uid0](Edit) I didn't say that it applied to myself, Zeke. I merely hypothesized a qualitatively high probability that the trait postulated is invariably characteristic of a being who has spent an undesirably lengthy time suspended from any of various supports which are in immediate proximity to the "Five-Minute Voyager" website.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0][color=#000000 ost_uid0]Right. My mistake.[quote ost_uid0]But since you ask, well, I do remember Chakotay got a cameo in "Broken Bow", although that was in connection with the running "wood" joke. Maybe there was something in an ENT fiver about one of the men and one of the women being stranded on a planet together...?[/quoteost_uid0]Bingo. "Strange New World" has several references to "Resolutions".[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]It's quite all right, Zeke.  The first thing that came to mind was a comment about lizard offspring, but then I remembered that wasn't even J/C... Heh, I just saw the St. Paddy's Day addition to the 5MV homepage. Nice work!  -24. Having been given a writing assignment to discuss a specific work of satire of your choice, you write a five-page essay claiming that "Episode II title causes AI research catastrophe" is the single greatest satirical story in the history of mankind.[/color ost_uid0]

Typically, whenever there are new posts, I just jump to the bottom post and don't re-read any of the previous posts to see if anyone has amended their previous posts. I know that I personally would prefer that you just append a new post to the end of the discussion (especially since there is no max reply limit), but maybe that's just me.Edits strike me as being tools for correcting misspellings and grammar, but new thoughts and amendments seem more appropriate as separate posts. (Then again I may just be despising Edits because they keep striking me.)[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]-25. You don't bother reading synopsis' of Trek episodes to find out what happened any more - you just go to 5MV instead.I was also going to say something along the lines of being able to name half a dozen fivers off the cuff in which you'dve liked to see the quote "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off", but I think thats just me.[/color ost_uid0]
