  Osyraa, as she was rejected by Vance (Disco, calling out hypocrisy)
  Christopher, the crystal grasped firmly (Disco again, duty in the face of suffering)

  I haven’t watched last season of Discovery, so I forget what these are referencing.

  Solum, the wormhole collapsing (Prodigy, defiance in the face of insurmountable odds)
  Una and Spock, together on the turbolift (Short Treks, the sharing of embarassing personal secrets)
  La’an, as she stares at her watch (SNW, despair from holding in a secret)

  Love it. I should have though of SNW phrases myself. There’s also one about Ortegas:

  Ortegas, I drive the ship! - That fulfilling feeling from knowing your purpose in life.

    Disco S3: Admiral Charles Vance had the option to sign a peace treaty with the Emerald Chain which would essentially merge it with the Federation, putting the Chain’s hegemony over the alpha quadrant with the Federation’s political legitimacy. Vance looked over the terms and (with a gun metaphorically to his head) conceded they were actually pretty good, he asked for only one concession: that Minister Osryaa be prosecuted for her many (and well documented) crimes. She wasn’t keen on this, so Vance rejected the treaty because this new organization wouldn’t be the Federation and he considered the UFP’s ideals worth dying for.

    Disco S2: Captain Christopher Pike needs a time crystal for Story Reasons™️. He meets with a Klingon monk named Tenavik on Boreth and, while inspecting a crystal destined for him, sees his tragic future. Tenavik says that Pike can get out of it if he leaves the time crystal. Because Pike is a moral pillar/absolute chad of a captain he steels himself and takes it. IMO Pike’s finest moment, and obviously the catalyst for his SNW characterization.
