October 2 Hey all -- and welcome, at long last, to an event I've been promising since February! 5MV's first new subsite since Five-Minute Farscape is now here. Without further ado: Five-Minute Angel. I originally conceived this event as both a protest against the series' cancellation (as in 5MF's case) and a celebration of its five brilliant years on the air. Half a year later, we still don't know whether Angel will ever be returning in some form; the news so far hasn't been good. But that's how it looked for Farscape, too. Meanwhile, until any good news does arrive, we've got plenty of episodes to keep us busy here at 5MV. We're kicking off the subsite with a three-day event, featuring a total of sixteen fivers by 12 different guest writers. We're doing Season 1 today, Seasons 2 to 4 tomorrow, and Season 5 on Monday. Here are today's entries:

October 7 Hello and welcome to Day... um... 3 of the Five-Minute Angel relaunch, featuring fivers from Season 5. (I know, it's been longer. Technical difficulties -- sorry about that.) Here are the final fivers of our Five-Minute Angel relaunch:
Thank you all for joining us for this event -- we've had great hitcounts throughout. Don't go away! Season 4 of Enterprise premieres tomorrow, and big things are about to happen at 5ME.... [Comments] |

October 8 Sorry, I've been way too busy to update today. Have a link to the South Park Scriptorium, a site with lots of interesting SP stuff. |

October 9 Again, I was travelling for most of the day, so I don't have a content update tonight. I should have something more interesting to post tomorrow; Monday I'll be travelling back, and then on Tuesday if at all possible I'll get those ENT updates going. |

October 12 Hey, I'm back. Yet again, I had to miss a couple of updates, but that's definitely the last time it'll be happening for a while. [Note: Yes, this comment is pathetically ironic in hindsight. - Z] Stay tuned for the ENT stuff I've been talking about. |

October 27 Okay, this time I really am back. I'm sorry I've let the daily-updates thing slip this month. It's the result of my usual procrastination coupled with certain other factors (it's midterm season, for example, and I've had a vojillion of them to mark this week). So after the real news of today's update, I'll be giving a roundup of some of the items I would have posted on this page over the last couple of weeks. The real news: Fiver By Committee is back! After five months of downtime, our popular forum-based project is now active again, with three new blocks for readers to work on. Since it's been so long since FBC has been mentioned on this page, I'll give a summary of what it's about: Fiver By Committee is your chance to contribute to a new fiver without writing the whole thing yourself. I post a synopsis of a scene in the FBC forum, and anyone who wants to can suggest a fiver version of that scene. After all the suggestions are out there, readers vote on which one is used in the final fiver. (I don't contribute myself, and I usually don't vote either, but the other staffers often take part.) We're currently about three quarters of the way through The Matrix. If you've ever wanted to try writing a fiver, give FBC a shot -- if nothing else, it's good practice. And now the roundup:

October 28 Ahh, I've thought of one of the things I forgot yesterday. 5MV doesn't cover the Trek novels (or any other novels) yet, but forumgoer NAHTMMM has written fivers for a few of them anyway, and I've been letting him post them at the forums. His latest, Five-Minute Gulliver's Fugitives, is now available in the Miscellaneous forum. (Another notable unofficial fiver is Nic Corelli's Five-Minute History of Rome.) |

October 29 November 2 (that's Tuesday for those playing the home game) is important for two reasons: the leader of the free world for the next four years will be chosen, and the Season 2 DVD set of Classic Trek will be released. Coincidence? Yes, and it's also a coincidence that both events will be noted here at 5MV. Our Election 2004 mini-event will appear on the 1st, and IJD has plans for the 2nd. Don't miss 'em. |

October 30 Stay tuned for a 5MST update tomorrow. Meanwhile, I dunno, go read MegaTokyo or rob a bank or something. |

October 31 Happy Hallowe'en! Yes, I know, latest Hallowe'en update ever. However, it's still Hallowe'en for those of us on SST. (Soon Standard Time. Thank you, Xeroc.) Like last year, 5MV is celebrating this occasion with appropriate fivers. This year I thought it would be cool to do Trek's archetypal Hallowe'en episode -- "Catspaw." Derek Dean, with his usual disturbing speed, was able to five it on only a couple of days' notice. So with props to Derek, here's Five-Minute "Catspaw". The second half of our spooky double feature is another creepy Classic Trek episode, this time parodied by the creepy-in-his-own-right Nic Corelli. Enjoy Five-Minute "Whom Gods Destroy"... OR ELSE. And that's it for October. Come back tomorrow for 5MV's election coverage, and then Tuesday for still more Original Series material. (Props to Nan for helping out with the -- have you clicked it yet? I'd better not say, then.) [Comments] |
