Five-Minute "Broken Bow" isn't on the site yet -- but it is on TrekToday! Thanks to the generosity of Christian Sparborth, 5ME will be published there throughout the coming year; more on that later. (The fiver will appear on this site too, but not until the redesign is done.)

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! The redesign is continuing and should be done soon; in the meantime, my fiver for VVS8's latest ("Remora," by the mighty Jim Wright) is now available here, as is Enterprise's "Fight or Flight" (at TrekToday.com).

I just watched the latest Andromeda episode ("A Heart For Falsehood Framed") -- and boy, was it awful. I like most of the characters on that show, but the writing is not there yet. Sigh.

Anyway, my latest Enterprise fiver is done. You can read Five-Minute "Strange New World" at TrekToday, and there's a BBS thread where you can make comments on it if you so desire. I know I say this every update, but yes, I'm making progress on the redesign...the problem right now is that I also have a VVS8 episode to write. But the new 5MV will appear soon, and it'll seriously rock. I swear.

What kind of jerk am I? I said I'd update this page really often, and here it is -- an 18-day gap. Sorry, folks.

News items today:

  • The big news is that my VVS8 episode, "Rise and Fall," is now online. I got the honour of following up Jim's "Remora" and bringing our heroes back to Earth (again) -- and I threw in the Borg for good measure. Hope you like it.
  • Speaking of "Rise and Fall," my fiver for it is available too. Interesting story there: I actually wrote the fiver first and then used it as a plot outline in writing the episode. Not the best idea, but when will I get the chance again?
  • Other new material: you'll find fivers for "Unexpected" and "Terra Nova" at my Trek Nation page. A certain subgroup of fans will also have seen my parodies of another show -- but I won't include that link, since I haven't formally announced my arrangement with said show yet.
  • Here's a special treat: Daniel, webmaster of stenterprise.cc, produced a possible design for Five-Minute Enterprise. I've already finished the new Enterprise section, so it's too late to use the design, but I do think Dan's version looks good and deserves a little airtime. Therefore, I've filled in Dan's links and episode descriptions from my Trek Nation page so that the prototype can act as a temporary 5ME until the real one is unveiled. Check it out!
  • Hope you're all enjoying Enterprise as much as I am. Actually, I take that back -- the amount I'm enjoying Enterprise frightens me. For some reason, I've found the show an absolute joy to watch; Berman and Braga have done good stuff before, but this time they're really outdoing themselves. If you haven't tried the show out yet, do!
  • The redesign is (say it with me) nearly done. Seriously this time. I swear.
  • Finally, happy Hallowe'en to all, and happy Samhain and/or Beltane to those who celebrate them. I'm not a huge fan of holidays in general, but I've got nothing against them either. Hmm...if the site weren't dormant, I might rename the guest fivers as "ghost fivers" for the day as a gag. Maybe next year....
