"Far Beyond the Stars" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Sisko: (Looking at the camera and absolutely pounding on the 4th wall with a baseball bat) I suppose it did. But I have begun to wonder. What if it wasn't a dream? What if this life we're leading, all of this, you and me, everything. What if this is all an illusion?

 

[Admiral Shran]

JOSEPH: That's a scary thought.


Smart man that Joseph, we all know Star Trek is real.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: I know, I know. But maybe, just maybe, Benny isn't the dream, we are. Maybe we're nothing more than figments of his imagination. For all we know, at this very moment, beyond those distant stars, Benny Russell is dreaming of us.

Sisko walks to the window, seeing his reflection as Benny Russell.

 

[Admiral Shran]

It was a pleasure finishing the episode with you tonight LeadHead.

 

[Alienesse]

Well, congratulations, everyone! We've gotten another one down.

Admiral Shran, if I may, who is that in your avatar? It looks darkly mysterious.

 

[Admiral Shran]

It's Alec Baldwin as The Shadow from the 1994 film The Shadow. I'm using it as an avatar as a joke, since this picture was my "prize" for winning an ENT caption contest....

 

[LeadHead]

^Very nice, I like that.



Nice way to finish, not a race going full blast, but a nice walk to the finish. A good change of pace, that being said the Warp 9 races are a lotta fun.

Nice work everyone.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

Shucks, missed the end again.

Oh well, cheers anyway!

 

[CoveTom]

Congratulations, participants!

There will now be a brief intermission. During this time, I will be uncoupling the Heisenberg compensators in order to allow patterns to rescramble randomly. Once this is done, we will be ready for full participant randomization.

Stand by...

 

[Vanyel]

Cool, you guys finished.



Now tell me, who saw that this thread had a new post and thought CoveTom had picked a winner?

 

[Alienesse]

Ah, I see, nice!

Now tell me, who saw that this thread had a new post and thought CoveTom had picked a winner?

Not me. I was too eager to read what Admiral Shran had to say about his avatar.

 

[CoveTom]

The participants from our current thread are as follows:

1. CoveTom

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. Special thanks to LeadHead for compiling the list!

(If anyone has been inadvertently left off the list of participants, please let me know and I'll try to make it up on the next go-around.)

And now, it's time for random.org to do it's magic...

*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.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Woohoo! I get to choose.

I could have a suggestion from each of the series, but I think I'll stick with DS9 since it's my favorite.

I'm a sucker for two and three part episodes, so I'll pick one that doesn't always get the love I think it deserves....

The Homecoming / The Circle / The Siege

I don't know what you would call that arc though. The Bajoran Trilogy or The Bajoran Coup Arc?

 

[CoveTom]

I just went with the episode names. Not too huge for a thread title and it seemed the most direct.

So, with that, off we go!

 

[Admiral Shran]

Works for me.
