Fiver quote game

TNG. The subject of the wedgie was something Worf wasn't actually trying to kill (yet it ended up dead nonetheless).

[NAHTMMM]

Still drawing a blank as to the episode.

[Sa'ar Chasm]

I'll quote the entire scene around it:

Worf: The creature has immobilized us and is bombarding us with radiation!
Picard: We have to startle it into letting us go, but without harming it. Set phasers on "wedgie" and fire!
Worf: Direct hit. The creature is dead, sir.
Picard: Dead? How is that possible?
Riker: Have you ever experienced a Klingon wedgie, sir?

"Galaxy's Child"?

[Sa'ar Chasm]

Indeed.

[Nate the Great]

Torres: So which one of us beams down?
Carey: Not me. I'm scared of transporters.
Torres: Gee, that's original.
Carey: Well, excuuuuse me. I don't have a personality, so I'm stealing Barclay's.
Seska: Which he stole from Pulaski....
Torres: ....which she stole from McCoy.
Carey: Quit rubbing it in.

[NAHTMMM]

Well, it's one with Carey doing more than a brief cameo, so it's probably an early VOY episode . . .

So if no one answer "Parallax" for three years, does that mean I still get credit?

And holy poop on a stick, that's a lot of XML in there.

[Zeke]

It would -- if you were right. Also:

• Welcome to the forum! Sorry I took so long to approve you -- sometimes I forget I have to do that. (We have a recurring spambot problem.)
• Who's the member you mention in your sig?
• XML where? Never mind, I found it. Nate, where the heck did you paste that from?

[Nate the Great]

I'm not sure what this XML-talk is, but if that entry seems to take up more code than a simple cut-and-paste from the web page, I must've cut-and-pasted it either from the TV Tropes page or my personal fiver quote file.

No worries. I know all too well the problem of spambots joining forums; I run a vb 4 install for another group. Spambots still invade, even after putting a trivia question into the registration process. Eventually, I just ended up putting in an Introduction forum where new people ONLY could post a new thread saying "I'm a real person please approve me". It was the only thing that was 100% reliable.

I haven't seen Alcar Dovan in a while. He probably goes by something different here, that's just his Excelsior character name, so he may actually be here and I have no idea he's here. I knew him back when we were in Bravo Fleet, shooting the breeze on RSB.





...and right, I'm wrong. Apparently "Prime Factors" and "Parallax" are two different episodes. Silly me.

[Zeke]

Heh heh, "Alcar Dovan" indeed. Around these parts he's Wowbagger. (And he's not gone -- we talk all the time on Facebook, though he does sometimes need reminding that this forum exists.) Are you also involved with Excelsior?

Believe it or not, even your method isn't perfect. It'll keep out spamBOTs, but not spam posters in general. Some of them are humans working for hire -- we had one here who confessed to me when his client didn't pay him.

And finally the quote is identified! "Prime Factors" is right (and that's why I couldn't guess: it's one of mine). You're up.

No, I have no involvement with Excelsior. Just a fellow writer.

I believe it. But it keeps out the automated bots, and the rest I can nuke manually if necessary, preferably from orbit.

Now I'm on the spot, aren't I? Hmmmm...

Dukat: Why, if it isn't my good friend Nerys.
Kira: I'll be damned if I'll let a Cardassian call me by my last name.
Ziyal: Nerys! It's me!
Kira: Wow! I'm so happy to see you!

[Wowbagger]

Good God, you finally took my advice and registered!

Now write a fiver! WRITE WRITE WRITE!

I know FlyingGremlin from our old days in the trenches on Relay Station Bravo, back before they reset all the forums there. I vouch for him!

Yes.

I'd start writing a Fiver, but I really don't know where to start. That, and I seem to be missing several important memory engrams... and DVDs.

Hey, wait, they reset the forums? And I had the highest post count record there for 3 years! Dang it.

[Zeke]

Let's try "In Purgatory's Shadow" and "A Time to Stand".

Btw, if you do think of something you're interested in fiving, drop me a line. The best time to plant a fiver is 20 years ago, the second best is now (since I'll still help myself to those 20 years).

oh shit, I only have 10 more years to wait! awesome!

Nope. And here I thought this was going to be an easy one, considering Ziyal was in 9 episodes total.

Good thing I started to read these many years ago.

I will drop you a line, after my work calms the heck down.

[Zeke]

Hmm! Now that I think about it, Ziyal was probably evacuated with the civilians and might not have been back by the start of S6. Let's try "Rocks and Shoals" and "Sons and Daughters".

evay, off-topic, I'd like you to know that I typed "evay.ca" into my browser just now when attempting to visit eBay.

"Sons and Daughters" was the answer.

Now you're up.
