Default September 7: 5MNG 3rd Anniversary, day 3

For the third day of our anniversary, Nic Corelli starts us off with one of my personal TNG favorites, Five-Minute "Face of the Enemy," while Wade is back with his third contribution, Five-Minute "Inheritance." And finally, my own two cents -- I've fived another of my favorite episodes: Five-Minute "Power Play."

Heh. Nice fiver, Nic. Shades of Nemesis in this scene. You've certainly been busy fiving recently.

Quote:
Data: It appears we've angered the volcano gods. The planet is destabilizing. Starfleet protocol says to sacrifice a virgin to appease their demands.
Is this a Joe vs the Volcano reference? Great fiver, Wade. As always.

Quote:
Troi: Yarrr! Move yer ship to th' southern polar region, or we be killin' Jack.
Picard: (over the comm) Actually, my name is Jean-Luc.
Data: Not you! We named the monkey Jack.
Worf: What did you call me?
Pirates are just too funny. I'm only a little sorry there wasn't a reference to Davy Jones' locker. Nice to see fivers from you again, Kira.

Edit: Switch Nic's and Wade's names around as necessary.

O'Brien: The captain said to leave it here as a monument to your incompetence.
Data: We should proceed with the transport before the storm reaches us.
Troi: Yeah. It looks ominous and plot-furthering.

Ro: Sir? Something seems to be wrong with the computer. It's set a new course and it won't let me change it back.
Riker: Let me try.
Computer: Pbbbbbbt!

Most excellently funny fivers. Nic's I liked especially -

Quote:
N'Vek: Wrong! From now on you will refer to yourself as Major Rakal of the Tal Shiar. And you will help me, for I have a cunning plan.
Troi: How cunning?
N'Vek: As cunning as a fox that studied cunningness in Cambridge.
Hee. Now, let's all go down to Mrs. Miggins' pie shop for a slap up tea!

Quote:
DeSeve: Wait! I must urgently speak to Captain Picard. I bring a secret message from the Pointy Eared One.
Riker: You lived on Romulus, man. Which pointy eared one?
DeSeve: The one and only!


Quote:
Troi: Um... no... let's not destroy it. It's not a threat to us. I mean, look how small it is... (points fingers at the viewscreen) It's tiny!
(silence)
Toreth: It's not small, it's far away!
Bwahahahahahahahaha!

Hmm, I didn't know Nic wrote "Inheritance" too...

My thoughts too - who exactly wrote each one? The first two both say "Nic Corelli"!

And, all three were excellent fivers!

See, this is why we shouldn't have theme days where the same authors keep repeating. I kept getting the author credits of those two mixed up; apparently I just decided to give both of them to Nic. "Face of the Enemy" is his; "Inheritance" is Wade's. I'll fix it as soon as I can get into the FTP to upload the corrected version.

Hoo-boy! Choice bits:

from "Face of the Enemy"
Quote:
N'Vek: My name is N'Vek.
Troi: Hi, N'Vek. My name is Dea....
N'Vek: Wrong! From now on you will refer to yourself as Major Rakal of the Tal Shiar. And you will help me, for I have a cunning plan.
Heheheh.

from "Inheritance"
Quote:
Picard: Inform the Pentharans we are getting ready to fire.
Worf: Sir, we're orbiting Atrea IV, not Penthara IV.
Picard: Oh, right right. I'll get it; it's just a matter of time.
:znerk: :lol:

from "Power Play"

... oh, hell, the whole thing, really :mrgreen: , but
Quote:
Captain's Log: We've detected a distress call from a supposedly uninhabited M-class moon. I was about to ignore such an obviously boring mission, but Commander Riker enthusiastically seconded that idea so we immediately set a course in order to spite him.
---------------------
Keiko: Miles? What's going on?
O'Brien: This be a mutiny! Now face to the deck before we make ye walk the plank!
Keiko: Oh, you are so sleeping on the couch tonight.
---------------------
Picard: Ensign, move the ship to the southern polar region. Very, very slowly.
Ro: Aye, sir. Activating Star Trek: The Motion Picture super slow motion.
---------------------
La Forge: I can't believe the captain chose your plan over mine.
Ro: What, the plasma shock idea? Pfft. Too boring.
La Forge: But your plan is stupid.
Ro: You'd be surprised how effective dropping an oversized anvil on someone can be. Now, the trick will be to get them to stand on the giant "X" marked on the floor....
Mr. Weight?

Maybe indirect, but I think this might qualify:
Quote:
Troi: We be lost souls, trapped down below when our ship foundered.
Picard: Why didn't you just tell us this?
Troi: Dead men tell no tales, Cap'n.
And yes, pirates are funny.

Great stuff, everybody!

Somewhere on this page there is irrefutable evidence that I wrote "Face of the Enemy". I won`t tell you where! :twisted:

I think it's scary that I can view a sequence of bums, bahs, and boms and instantly decode what the accompanying tune is...

That's not scary, that's intentional. (Kudos, to Sa'ar, who helped tweak it to make it accurate.)

After all, everyone knows the Jaws theme.

Hmm... I could've sworn that was you I had the "Bom bah bum" discussion with. I guess that tune was just all me.

It might have been PHJ, you know. He likes to pretend to be other people sometimes.

Can anyone say, or rather sing, "Blaaaaaaaaaack Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadder" :mrgreen: I love that quote!

Very funny, all three!
