By Scott McClenny on Wednesday, December 24, 2003 - 10:02 am:

*Was last seen pacing in his office wearing his
undershorts on his head with two pencils stuck up his nose and going "Boggle!Boggle!"

*Claimed he once dated Kim Possible's mom when they were both Freshmen in college.

*Insists the UPN office staff call him
"Ricardo The Magnificent!"

*Idea for new reality series:The Brady Bunch On
Deep Space Nine

*Bet on the Calgary Stampeders to win the Superbowl.

*Voted for Stassen in the 2000 Presidential election.

*Thinking of replacing T'Pol with "that Lafiel
chick from that Japanese series Crest of The Stars".

*Runs down the corridors shouting to himself:
"And he'll go all the waaaayyyyyy!!!!!!"

*Wants to hire Dennis Miller to do color commentary for the next Star Trek series!

Scott McClenny,

*Wants to hire Dennis Miller to do color commentary for the next Star Trek series! - Scott

I would watch that at least twice. (I also do double takes when gawking at car accidents.:))


By John A. Lang on Thursday, December 25, 2003 - 9:39 am:

* Creates an episode in which Porthos TALKS to the crew for one day. (Using CGI to mimic the dog's mouth & words to be synchronized)

* Creates an episode in which Archer becomes a woman due to a strange anomoly on a rogue planet.

* Creates an episode in which the entire cast becomes an animated cartoon.


IMHO, If these episodes were created, it would be the DEATH of "Enterprise" & the "Star Trek" franchise.


By Blue Berry on Thursday, December 25, 2003 - 12:10 pm:

Johm Lang,

Again, out of morbid curiosity I'd watch an episode of I, Porthos and Enterprise, 2-D

* Creates an episode in which the entire cast becomes an animated cartoon.


Would T'pol be drawn in the form of Japanese Anime? (sp) skin tight outfit... and Archer and the MACOs could be drawn in the form of Dragon Ball Z... and Porthos could talk and be some magical puppy...


By Torque, Son of Keplar on Friday, January 09, 2004 - 8:41 pm:

He doesn't know what "B" he is in the "B&B" of Enterprise.

It doesn't have to be very good CGI. Think Connan O'Brien with Prthos's voice and lips provided by Andy Richter.

I'd watch that!

* Gives everyone on his holiday list the Voyager box sets. Think about it. The man wouldn't have any friends for years.


By John A. Lang on Saturday, January 10, 2004 - 10:42 am:

* Berman hires Celine Dion sing the "Enterprise" theme.

* Writes an episode based on "Plan 9 From Outer Space"

* Writes an episode based on "Heaven's Gate"

* Has someone dress like a robot & fling his robotic arms around saying, "Warning! Warning! Danger! Danger! And get into petty arguments with Dr. Phlox with Phlox making a snappy comeback like: "You bubble-headed booby!"


By John A. Lang on Saturday, January 10, 2004 - 10:44 am:

ooops that should be: "TO sing"

Farscape already did one - Revenging Angel.

He gets his own board discussion here at NITCENTRAL.:)


By mertz on Monday, August 09, 2004 - 8:00 pm:

You know he finally flips when he creates the final episode of Enterprise with some modern John Doe waking up, turning to his wife, and saying, "Honey, I just had the strangest dream. It was about all these people on some flying vessel wearing uniforms and battling strange alien creatures!"
Then the wife rolls over and- lo and behold- it's Suzanne Pleshette!!!!


By John A. Lang on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 7:36 am:

You know he's flipped when he's scheduled DeForest Kelley to make a guest appearance on "Enterprise"


By Adam on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 12:16 pm:

I know he's flipped when he writes a series thats suppose to take place BEFORE TOS, but the ship is more advanced then the original Enterprise.

TOP TEN SIGNS BERMAN’S LOST IT

10. Writes an episode in which the Enterprise crashes into a water planet, and the entire crew is saved by using Jolene Blalock’s breast implants as flotation devices.

9. Cashes in on the gay programming craze by having Q show up to reveal what the letter “Q” really stands for.

8. Told reporters he hired Brannon Braga as a producer because his first choice, Porthos, asked for too much money.

7. Had 40 pizzas anonymously delivered to J. Michael Stracynski’s and George Lucas’ houses.

6. Tried to exploit the Friends finale buzz by writing episode in which the Enterprise visits a planet populated entirely by cast members of Friends and their fans, and Ensign Mayweather understandably feels all alone.

5. Submitted Enterprise for Emmy consideration every year for the last three years.

4. Sought to remedy the show’s slashed budget by selling ad space on the Enterprise’s nacelles to McDonalds and Starbucks.

3. Created promotional campaign in which he promised a walk-on part to the Trekkie whose essay can best convince him that he’s kissed a girl.

2. What Archer was really looking for in the Delphic Expanse in the original script: Weapons of Mass Destruction.

AND THE NUMBER ONE SIGN THAT BERMAN’S LOST IT:

1. Responding to criticism of the show’s poor understanding of science and other plot holes by hiring Jwb52z as a spokesman.


By ScottN on Tuesday, August 10, 2004 - 8:14 pm:

Luigi, that last was an unnecessary ad hominem.


By LUIGI NOVI on Wednesday, August 11, 2004 - 1:24 am:

No, it wasn't. It was a joke referencing his mission to try and explain all nits, no matter how airtight. Not an ad hominem argument, since there was no argument on his part that I was responding to, and hardly mean-spirited.
