Welcome to lucky Day 13, which also happens to be my little brother's first day of not being 13. Cool.
    [*]Next in the Occupation Arc: "Sons and Daughters," by IJD GAF.[*]Sa'ar Chasm is back with his second B5 fiver of this event: "Movements of Fire and Shadow."[*]The first of a number of Top 10 lists in CW is here today courtesy of Derek Dean: The Top 10 Most Feared Cliffhangers of the DS9 Crew.[*]Finally, for our second First Fiver Retrospective, we have our second newest member -- IJD GAF, whose first fiver was "Relativity." You'll have to have been here a very long time to recognize the name "The Newbie," but those who haven't should still be able to figure out what's going on.[/list]

    Tomorrow's update includes a new comic fiver, so don't miss Day 14!

You may be on to something here, IJD.

He hasn't succeeded so far.

Wow, you really ripped yourself a new one. There's no harsher critic than yourself. (see also: Movements of Fire and Shadow *twitch*)

Great job, all.

There's a whole bunch of formatting errors in "Movements", by the way.

Anyway, good stuff, all! Been enjoying these retrospectives quite a bit - I'd been wondering when we'd get round to having "commentaries".

My fault, mostly. I wrote that one in a hurry and didn't check to closely on how I structured things or what Zeke's HTMLisation program would make of them.

One think I meant to ask - where did the "hamster" thing come from? Were you by any chance thinking of the fiver for The Final Frontier at that moment?

I'm not sure. The dim recesses of my brain are a scary place. I'm not really sure where anything comes from.

Quote:

You mean the "look at the monkey" bit? Nope. For those of you who haven't seen the episode, what Lyta and Franklin found were organic pods that were being used to fly unmanned Centauri ships by remote. I figured hamsters running in wheels were a good silly take on that.

Plus it's well known that I have a rodent fetish. Lemming.

Excellent fivers all around!


Is it just me - or does that sound like I'm ordering drinks?

Yes, it does. I'll have a Curse of Fenric floating in gin, served in a pointy hat. And go easy on the artichokes.

I never liked that myself. Too much garlic.

Franklin: Of course. I have nothing better to do than go gallavanting off to a possibly hostile planet on a possibly sleeveless errand.


Narn General: They stop the destruction of their jumpgate by dumb luck, and they have the nerve to call us freaks.
Drazi General: Indeed. That's a rather nasty skin condition, by the way.
Narn General: Don't remind me. The Centauri took all our skin cream when they evacuated our planet.
Drazi General: You know, the Centauri have very nice skin. They can't possibly need all that cream.
Narn General: (grins evilly)
And lemmingness. Heheheh

Quote:
Lyta: (waving fingers) You don't want to kill us. You want to kill yourself.
Assassin: I don't want to kill you. I want to kill my-- GAK!
Franklin: That has to be worth a Dark Side point or two.

Sheridan: Sheridan to all White Stars: When I nod my head, hit it! (nod)
All White Stars: (clonk!)
Sheridan: Ow!


Lyta: (over the comm) We found these in a giant cage on the Drazi homeworld. The Shadows used these hamsters to power ships by running in a little wheel.
Franklin: My liver! It's gnawing on my liver!
Sheridan: This explains many things that have been baffling me.
Franklin: No! Now it's eating my appendix!
Sheridan: Do they always do that?
Lyta: All the time.
Franklin: WHY WON'T YOU HELP ME?!

Delenn: I don't understand. Every other time our White Star took fire, it barely got scratched. Why did we get totalled this time?
Lennier: You know those background ships that explode if you look at them funny? We took one of those.
:lol: :lol: And nice ending too



Nice list, Derek. :mrgreen:

Also lame, but at least you noticed yourself this time.


Don't you know you're supposed to end on a joke? Jeez, you'd think this was your first fiver or something.
Heheh, poor "Newbie"...
