What's Your Favorite, Not at All Epic, Star Trek Quote

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Nmyownworld@startrek.website⁩ to ⁨startrek@startrek.website⁩

There are inspiring, epic quotes in Star Trek. Words that stir the soul, shining a light on paths to a brighter now and a better future. But, what about those bits of dialog that don’t have a stirring message, that you enjoy just because you enjoy them?

One of my favorites, from DSC season 3, Episode 1:

“I don’t know. But it was temperature-sensitive and really valuable, so it’s probably ice cream.”

Burnham is captured and being questioned at the Merchantile. After being spritzed with a dose of space truth serum, Burnham’s captors question her about stolen cargo. When asked by her captors what the cargo is, a very drugged up Burnham says the above with serious sincerity. I love the entirety of Burnham’s chattering and behavior while she is under the influence of the space truth serum. That particular line always makes me smile, though.

Do you have a favored, not particularly inspiring, you just like it, Star Trek quote?

I would not presume to debate you.
That is wise.

I just mentioned it yesterday: "the thing to know about dealing with romulans is that they are without honor."

Thanks for the hot tip, worf.

Riker “I thought you said you were a pacifist?”

Word “I did.”

“I am the Borg” I know people hate the Borg queen for ruining them but she is my favourite character and I think the writers were jsut shit at portraying her properly as the collectives consciousness in a single avatar.

  I don’t hate the Borg Queen. I think she’s an awesome antagonist. All hail the (Borg) Queen Alice Krige. Mad respect for Susanna Thompson’s portrayal. Loved Annie Wersching’s Borg Queen, too. Jane Edwina Seymour’s Borg Queen creeped me out, which was the goal, so kudos to her.

Kirk: All hands, this is the captain. We’re going to enter the body of the organism… rather abruptly, I would think.

Shatner’s delivery of “rather abruptly, I would think” always makes me laugh.
