February 6 - The Five-Minute Forums

Zeke · #1 02-07-2005, 12:44 AM

Well, I lose. As of today, VW Day 7 is 43 days late, so I can officially no longer point to AUW Day 8 and say that at least this isn't that bad. Until recently I could also point out that I haven't left you guys in the dark this time, but this week I dropped the ball on the updates too. According to my new philosophy of updating, that's not something I should feel guilty about, so I'll try not to. But it's about time I gave you guys another reason to keep coming back.

So 5MV is officially "unfrozen." I'll still get VW done as soon as I can, but because I clearly suck at that, I'm no longer going to make all other material wait till then. Especially under the circumstances.

I don't have to tell any of you what happened four days ago. It was a blow to the spirits of every Trek fan, even those who never liked Enterprise. And it's why, aside from an angry modification to the front page, I haven't updated in the last few days. I've given a lot of thought to what to do, and in tomorrow's update I'll address what this turn of events means for 5MV. I'll also be posting a special edition of This Just In on the cancellation.

In the meantime, there are several threads in 5MV's Science Fiction forum where the news is being discussed and debated. However you feel about ENT's cancellation, you're welcome to join in.

Give yourself 4 days to complete it.

Because if you waited until it was 47 days late, then the finale of Voyager week would be even more special. :wink:

Again, looking forward to the TJI.

So what does the end of Enterprise mean for the still-hanging eTrektion?

SCMoll · #4 02-07-2005, 04:25 AM

Sorry, that was me, just without the logging in.

Don't worry, we still have the forums to spend our time on.

And the eTrektion is simply being what it was always was meant to be...long and hard.

For a random rememberance of why it can wait, here's the link to my uber-colourful eTrektion banner: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ff/banner2.jpg

*snorts* I'm not... going to say... anything... *giggle*

I will, however, proceed to laugh my ass off and roll out of my chair.

Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's Loving.

Hard and fast.

If we poke her in just the right spot, she'll explode.

Assuming we wanted to something as discourteous and annoying as poking.

Don't MAKE me throw the chocolate Flash at you.

Oops, it seems I just did. o_o You may now join me in my insanity.

*snort*

*laugh*

Celeste · #12 02-08-2005, 03:51 PM

Oh god. it reminds me of the "where can you see lions.. only in Kenya! Only in Kenya can you see Lions...." Only worse!

Chancellor Valium · #13 02-08-2005, 07:18 PM

Really........it sounds almost as bad as....*shudders* "We like the moon" at www.rathergood.com. Oh dear, oh dear.

Forget Norway!

Opium - Glad we can provide such entertainment by veering incredibly off-topic.

Opium · #15 02-09-2005, 07:13 AM

Isn't it some sort of unwritten rule that every thread, except for game threads, must go off topic within 20 posts?

Right?

Chancellor Valium · #16 02-09-2005, 10:46 AM

Section 4b :wink:

MaverickZer0 · #17 02-10-2005, 01:12 AM

I don't think it's unwritten so much as a given necessity, really.

Eggplant?

Don't worry, there is always Five Minute L&O to watch.

Wait a minute...there isn't 5ML&O. That was a REAL episode of L&O on TV a few hours ago!

*waits patiently for Zeke to post fivers again, and L&O to start doing good plots again without always trying to stir the political pot but just present good, solid, though-provoking-on-their-own plots*

And there is always CSI and listening the the stuff the short guy in my year is always saying...
