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

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 like this moment. No villainous riffing. No sneering. No glaring. Just a casual greeting. So surreal.

“On Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins.”

I got to use “There be whales here!” in the context of being on a whale watching tour, and only getting to see one as we were heading back, having given up seeing any.

It might be my life’s greatest achievement.

“Fun will now commence.”

Nilaus ,

The final line in tng s4e2 “family”.

Marie: “It’s getting late.” Robert Picard: “Yes, but let him dream.”

“You broke your little ships.”

I love how this mocks his display of anger and also the fact that he has little ships to begin with. There’s Picard being all ragey and dramatic and in 5 words she turns him into a little boy.

WORF: “What is a ‘Q’?”

YAR: “It’s a letter of the alphabet as far as I know”

‘Computer, more birds’

Basilisk ,

A truly great line from “The Ultimate Computer”

M4 to Daystrom: “I am great. You are great. We are both great.”

MajorHavoc ,

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

Worf “I did.”

Transcendant ,

Unfortunately not, there’s only room in my brain for one Star Trek quote, and it’s epic-as-fuck (so epic I used it in a track and it’s one of my most popular in that tiny little sub-of-a-sub-genre). The conversation between Q and Riker:

Q: Yes, the human compulsion. It is a power which will grow stronger century after century, aeon after aeon. RIKER: Aeons. Have you any idea how far we’ll advance?

Q: Perhaps in a future that you cannot yet conceive, even beyond us

Borg won’t stay on deck 16

I think of this being said the same way as two squabbling siblings saying, “He won’t stay on his side.”

“Computer! Taffy, honey, shrimp, soda, corn, steak, chicken nugget, crispy lemon rock candy, chili, gravy, chocolate sundae! Hot!”
