"The Counter-Clock Incident" Line-by-Line

[Enterprise1981]

APRIL: Hang on, we're going right into the heart of the nova.

(Kaboom, sparkles, and Enterprise flies out of an expanding gas cloud, the right way around)

We did it! We're home again! We're all right. We're home. The reverse aging process has stopped.

 

[LeadHead]

Sarah: But look at the Enterprise crew, they're children.

 

[Brian]

APRIL: They can enter the transporter. It retains a memory of their original molecular structure.

 

[Leandar]

Sarah: But what about us?! We don't have to use the transporter, we can remain young, live our lives over again! You could command a starship once more...

 

[Enterprise1981]

APRIL: What a blessing to be able to live one's life over again, if the life you've led has left you unfulfilled. No Sarah, I don't want to live it all over again. I couldn't improve one bit on what we've had together.

 

[Leandar]

Sarah: Oh, Robert!

(The Aprils embrace)

 

[Enterprise1981]

(Later, everyone is back to how they were at the start of the show)

KIRK: We've received a message from the Federation that might bring you some cheer. Lieutenant Uhura, would you relay it to Commodore April and his wife?

 

[Leandar]

Uhura: In view of Commodore April's heroic actions aboard the USS Enterprise this stardate, we are reviewing his mandatory retirement and are considering his appeal to remain Federation ambassador at large.

 

[LeadHead]

April: Well, good. Just because someone is 75 years old, doesn't mean they're ready tos top giving service to the galaxy.

 

[Leandar]

Sulu: Arriving at Babel in one hour, fifteen minutes, Captain.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: I see your flower has blossomed again.

 

[Leandar]

Sarah: Yes. Our trip into the negative universe gave it a second life. It gave all of us a second life!

(The Enterprise flies on...)

The End

 

[LeadHead]

 

[Leandar]

Yay! Now get CoveTom in here and pick somebody else besides me, dad burn it! lol!!!

 

[Brian]

 

[CoveTom]

Congratulations!

Please stand by while I reprogram the randomization algorithms to exclude leandar from possible choosership. I shall return later today with the name of our next chooser!

 

[CoveTom]

The participants from our current thread are as follows:

1. CoveTom
2. leandar
3. Captain Robert April
4. LeadHead
5. Enterprise1981
6. JanewayRulz!
7. Vanyel
8. Gul Re'jal
9. Alienesse
10. Ziz
11. Brian

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.

(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.)

Per leandar's request, should he be picked as the next chooser, I will automatically re-run the randomization to pick someone else.

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

*drumroll*

And the chooser is...

Captain Robert April!

Congratulations, Captain April!

So, Captain April, the next move is yours. Would you like to select the next episode we are going to do line-by-line?

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.

 

[Captain Robert April]

Well, I think I should follow through on my statement from the last time, so....

Our next episode...SPOCK'S BRAIN!

 

[Leandar]

Ok, it may be a crackpot episode, but it's still got some fantastic McCoy lines in it. I'm rehearsing..... lol

McCoy: Call Chekov and tell him to send my stomach down!

McCoy: I'll never live this down, this Vulcan is telling me how to operate!

McCoy: I knew it! I knew it! I should never have done it!
Kirk: What?
McCoy: I should never have reconnected his mouth!
Kirk: Well, we took the risk...

 

[CoveTom]

A most courageous choice!

In this whole galaxy, where are you going to look for Spock's brain?
