"The Way of the Warrior" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Nice job to all! Always a pleasure leandar!

 

[Leandar]

Yes indeed it is, but for now, good night.

 

[Brian]

 

[JanewayRulz!]

But so are we.

Hurrah!

 

[Leandar]

CoveTom? Get in here!!

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Cheers, all. Somehow I always end up missing the end. Here's some bubbly, cloying root beer courtesy of the insidious Federation!

 

[Leandar]

btw, something to wonder about, does anyone else remember the controversy this line caused:

O'Brien: Well, you couldn't ask for a better teacher.

O'Brien saying that there's no better teacher for command than Sisko, when he was earlier saying how Picard was the finest captain he'd served with. Some TNG fans felt insulted by that. Anyone else remember that or have I lost my mind again? ???

 

[LeadHead]

I remember that too. Maybe that line shoulda been reconsidered, but it wasn't a big deal to me. Both Picard and Sisko are great leaders.

 

[Leandar]

It wasn't that big a deal to me either. I remember thinking something like "Hmm...." when I first heard it, but that's about it. But you know how some get. lol

 

[Vanyel]

O'Brien knows whose butt to kiss and when. He's at Starfleet Academy saying how it's Commandant is the finest (insert rank/position).

 

[Enterprise1981]

Nice work everyone. So what's next for us? Since we're doing two-parters, I guess the Changelings on Earth duology could be next.

 

[LeadHead]

I sent a message to CoveTom who runs the threads. Once we hear from him, we'll know who's choosing next. Could be any series.

 

[CoveTom]

Congratulations, everyone! Stand by for further information!

 

[CoveTom]

Excellent job, everyone, and an awesome number of people participating!

As before, I compiled a list of everyone who participated in this thread and then numbered the list.

Here's what I came up with:

1. CoveTom
2. LeadHead
3. JanewayRulz!
4. leandar
5. Vanyel
6. indolover
7. brian
8. Enterprise1981
9. Vulcan Princess
10. Gary Mitchell
11. Mark de Vries
12. omegadir
13. Vanyel

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

I then used a random number generator -- www.random.org, to be specific -- and had it pick a number between 1 and 13. This is completely and totally random. There is no favoritism of any kind shown.

And the winner is...

*drumroll*

Enterprise1981!

Congratulations, Enterprise1981!

So, Enterprise1981, the next move is yours. Would you like to select the next episode we are going to do line-by-line? You are free to select the next episode or pass and I will re-run the randomization. You can pick any episode from any of the Trek series that you like. For reference, the ones we've done so far, ordered by series, are:

Where No Man Has Gone Before (TOS)
The Man Trap (TOS)
The Menagerie (TOS)
Measure of a Man (TNG)
Yesterday's Enterprise (TNG)
Peak Performance (TNG)
The First Duty (TNG)
The Best of Both Worlds (TNG)
The Visitor (DS9)
Trials and Tribble-ations (DS9)
The Way of the Warrior (DS9)
Bride of Chaotica (VOY)
Dark Frontier (VOY)
Scorpion (VOY)
Counterpoint (VOY)

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.

 

[Enterprise1981]

In keeping with a Klingon theme, I'm going with "Sins of the Father" (TNG)

 

[CoveTom]

Qapla!
