| - Scourge padded alongside, his eyes narrowing when he saw the clans. They all look puny! This will be easier than I thought! Tigerstar didn't mention it would be this easy. I'm not afraid of death here. He looked over at Tigerstar. His eyes were dark and cold, filled with hatred while he stared at the two clans that didn't accept him. Scourge narrowed his eyes. It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the shadow of death Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end Tigerstar padded forward, eyes darkening as he addressed WindClan and ThunderClan. "You have sent your clan to their dooms. What great leaders you turned out to be." He lifted his tail commandingly. "This is your last chance. Join or die." When it's over, we can say, "Well done" But not yet, 'cause it's only begun So, pick up, and follow me, we're the only ones To fight this thing, until we've won Scourge looked at Tigerstar. He could have threatened more. If it was up to him, he would've clawed the leader's ears off. Tigerstar lifted his tail as The opposing clans led chants of "Never!" and "I'd rather die Than join you!" Tigerstar's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Well then, If thats what you want... Maybe I should introduce a friend." He gestured for him and BloodClan to come forward. We drive on and don't look back It doesn't mean we can't learn from our past All the things that we mighta done wrong We could've been doing this all along The Clans gasped and whispered all kinds of things. Tigerstar felt like he commanded the whole forest. He listened while Firestar told the clans about his past. "Do you think that matters now kittypet?" he hissed. "So, not sure now? Well, you had your chance. BloodClan Attack!" Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry tonight Stand beside, or step aside We're on the frontline Scourge looked up his eyes cold. "Tigerstar, it's my clan. They will go when I say they will." Tigerstar hissed angrily and swiped a paw at the ground. "Anyway, you never told me you failed at your plans. He narrowed his eyes to slits while Tigerstar lunged at him. Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry tonight Stand beside, or step aside We're on the frontline Tigerstar leaped onto Scourge and called out "Traitor!" Scourge slitted his eyes and used one paw to toss him up into the air and the other to make a huge gash into the belly. Tigerstar fell onto the ground. And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore Step aside, you forgot what this is for We fight to live, we live to fight And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry Scourge jumped back and watched Tigerstar die. Scourge looked up and raised his voice. "You all have seen what has happened to your friend today. Remember BloodClan is a lone clan. Oh, and we will take the forest! We live our lives on the frontlines We're not afraid of the fast times These days have opened up my eyes And now, I see where the threat lies Scourge leaped into the new battle, eyes raging with fire. He did the same trick to Firestar that he did to Tigerstar, and to his delight he fell to the ground and died. He looked on triumphantly. Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry tonight Stand beside, or step aside We're on the frontline "I'm not over yet!" a familiar voice cut him from his triumph. "Firestar? How- I killed you!" "Yes, But I am a leader with 9 lives granted from starclan." He pounced on Scourge. Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry tonight Stand beside, or step aside We're on the frontline We've got to lead the way! Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry tonight Stand beside, or step aside We're on the frontline Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry tonight Stand beside, or step aside We're on the frontline! Everybody, with your fists raised high Stand beside, on the frontline! Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry Everybody, with your fists raised high Let me hear your battle cry tonight Stand beside, or step aside We're on the frontline! Suddenly the whole world wen't black and his paws fell into nothing-ness. HALLOWEENSpirit's Gettin' Scared!File:Th blackcat-01.gif 11:27, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Frontline is an FRL-type Medabot with a military motif.
- Frontline (Better known as Breaking News in the USA) is a satirical Australian sitcom that looks at the unscrupulous manipulation that goes on in the high-pressure world of current affairs T.V journalism. It ran for three seasons from 1994 to 1997. (Coincidentally, Frontline is also the title of a long-running American documentary series on PBS.) Just like any other current affairs programme on commercial television, Frontline has its share of sensationalism, controversy, and cynical manipulation of the truth. It combined actual current events such as the First Gulf War with a funny and thought-provoking analysis of topics such as how the media treats people and events and how people are stereotyped. Not to be confused with the aforementioned PBS news program - the show is called "Behind the Frontline" when broadcast in North America for this reason. Characters include:
* Mike Moore, Frontline's host. Mike considers himself a serious journalist. He is alone in this opinion, as everyone else thinks he's an egomaniacal half-wit with absolutely no grasp of current events at all.
* Brooke Vandenberg, reporter. Brooke is rumoured to have had a string of affairs with celebrities (stories largely started by herself) and never lets the truth get in the way of a story.
* Marty Di Stasio, reporter. Marty is the ultimate cynic - he knows what he does is immoral, he just doesn't care. He inevitably gets along with the EP brilliantly due to this clarity of vision. One of his favourite hobbies is making Mike look as idiotic as possible.
* Emma Ward, line producer. Emma is ethical and caring, and is the character the audience sympathises with. She is frequently horrified at the lengths the rest of the crew will go to distort a story to make it considered newsworthy.
* Elliot Rhodes, Frontline's resident "Friday Night Funnyman". He is neither funny nor musical, which is a bit of a problem given that he does a topical song every Friday night.
* Brian (Thommo) Thompson is the manipulative Executive Producer during season one. Thommo is a likeable sort, and gets people to do what he wants by by jollying them along. Due to the tragic death of actor Bruno Lawrence, the character was replaced by:
* Sam Murphy, season two's Executive Producer. Sam is a besuited and smooth-talking manipulator, who is outstanding at making Mike think he has come up with an idea that is useful to Sam's agenda.
* Graeme (Prowsey) Prowse, season three's Executive Producer, is far more blunt and rough. He is also more openly sexist.
* Because I'm Good At It: Marty, and arguably Emma.
* Black Comedy - Season 1 episode The Siege ends with a hostage-taker calling Frontline and executing his hostages live on air.
* Brainless Beauty - Brooke but Mike fits this trope more so.
* Break the Motivational Speaker
* Character Outlives Actor- Following Bruno Lawrence's death prior to the filming of Season 2, His character Brian was fired due to the show's sagging ratings.
* Deadpan Snarker - Marty.
* Dreadful Musician - Elliot.
* Even Evil Has Standards - Marty is as unethical as anyone else on the team, but "Judge and Jury" he shows reluctance to cover an unsubstantiated story about a priest accused of rape. When Emma asks him, he admits that he, like her, is Catholic.
* Faux Documentary
* I Can't Believe I'm Saying This - On one occasion, several stories have fallen through, and Emma is horrified to find herself suggest Elliot be allowed to perform a particularly horrible ten minute composition he has been begging to do for ages.
* Genius Ditz - Mike is given the answers to a gameshow's questions prior to going on. He wins the gameshow by over 100 points. At the end of the episode, he returns the envelope containing the questions, un-opened.
* Glad You Thought of It - Sam regularly uses this technique on Mike.
* Hypocritical Humour - The episode where the reporters target a statistician whose new book has been misinterpreted as racist. The episode is filled with Sam, Mike and Marty making racist comments, most notably Mike's complaint about his holiday in Greece.
* Idiot Hero - Mike, though Idiot Protagonist would be more accurate.
* Intoxication Ensues - In "My Generation", Mike has a headache, and when Shelley the receptionist looks for some Panadol for him, she finds the ecstasy tablets Marty confiscated from one of the camera dudes. The ending is hilarious.
* Is This Thing Still On? - Mike starts insulting one of Elliot's songs after his microphone has been cut off at the end of the show. Unfortunately, he forgets that the camera is still on him during the end credits and that there's a sign language interpreter next to him. His comments are translated accurately and reported in the following day's newspaper.
* Jade-Colored Glasses - Marty and Thommo.
* Mood Whiplash - In the episode Keeping Up Appearances, jokes are made of a Frontline trying to secure the rights to the story of a woman who was burned by an ex-boyfriend. Marty even comments how it was for the best because she is now $200,000 richer. Cut to the first time we are allowed to see her face in full... and it's not so funny anymore.
* Not So Above It All - Marty and Brooke make fun of Mike for his vanity and naivety, but they can act just as petty and be just as easily manipulated.
* Old Media Are Evil
* Ripped from the Headlines - practically every episode, but especially The Siege, The Simple Life and The Shadow We Cast.
* Running Gag - Dom's crazy hairstyles.
* Rushed Inverted Reading
* Satire, Parody, Pastiche - Satire (It was an attack on all the vapid current affairs programs that were and still are showing in Australia).
* In fact, you can now stop pretty much any Australian fan from taking the current affairs show they are currently watching seriously simply by saying "Hello, I'm Mike Moore: welcome to Frontline."
* Show Within a Show - Frontline the current affairs show is the show within Frontline the satirical sitcom about current affair shows.
* Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism - Clearly towards the Cynicial.
* So Unfunny It's Funny - Elliot's songs.
* Suspiciously Similar Substitute - a different EP for every season.
* Justified as the actor who played Brian died after the first season.
* Ted Baxter - Mike.
* Took a Level In Dumbass - Mike. In the first season he is vain and naive, but "an alright reporter". In the second, he manages to break his leg on a motorcycle that isn't even moving, and can't even write a letter without basic spelling errors.
* Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: practically everyone but poor Emma!
* Welcome to the Liberator - Probably justified in that no TV show would get rid of its executive producer without having someone ready to step in and take over.
* Wham! Line: "That was Brooke. Her grandmother died."
* "Give em' enough rope and..." from Season 2's finale.
