"Balance of Terror" Line-by-Line!

Sir! They're in the bathroom and they say they're constipated!

 

Look! There's something on the wing!

 

Looks like chicken batter, sir!

 

Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

 

Well sir, they sure do something! I mean, just look at Dr. McCoy's head!

 

A duck.

 

Actually sir, that may be an incorrect analogy.

 

We come in peace. (Shoot to kill. Shoot to kill.)
We come in peace. (Shoot to kill. Shoot to kill.)

 

The Floggings will continue until morale improves!

 

...or the rum runs out. Damn, it's gone. (rummaging) Eh, what's this, it's it's...

 

It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights. It's time to get the random.org randomization results here on TrekBBS tonight. Er, this morning. Whatever.

The participants from our current thread are as follows:

1. CoveTom
2. leandar
3. HarryM
4. Ziz
5. LeadHead

Those names should be in the order in which each person first posted to the thread. No "weight" is given for who posted more or less often.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, random.org may I have the envelope please?

*drumroll*

Once a new episode has been chosen, I will fire up the next line-by-line thread in the appropriate forum and post the link here.

NOTE: As has been agreed, when a person is selected as the "chooser," they will have 48 hours to post their selection. After 48 hours, I will assume they "pass" and will re-run the randomization.

 

I love being the chooser.

You're probably going to hate me for this CoveTom, but I'm going have to drag you kicking and screaming back into another ENT episode (or should I say "episodes" )....

The Vulcan Trilogy

 

I don't hate you. Given your user name, I couldn't have expected anything else.

However, I must plead complete and total ignorance to all things Enterprise. Can you tell me what episodes comprise the "Vulcan trilogy"? I'm honestly not familiar with it.

 

The Forge
Awakening
Kir'Shara

 

I support your choice, Admiral Shran. I love the Vulcan arc!

 

I guess you don't have complete and total ignorance to all things ENT.

 

I hope to get in on this adventure myself....

 

Wasn't a big fan of Enterprise series, but this arc was one of the pivotal stories of that series and in Trek lore overall.

 

And since it's a 3 episode arc, maybe more people will be able to have more than one shot at it and we won't end up with a tag-team marathon to finish the thread.

 

All you need is one line in. Then wait until it's done. No big deal. And most threads seem to end with a tag team. Doesn't bother me any, a tag team 3 episode arc could be lots of fun.
