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?

"Good tea. Nice house." - the endlessly quotable Lt. Worf

I am Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergei, House of Rozhenko, Bane to the Duras Family, slayer of Gowron. I have made some chamomile tea. Do you take sugar?

“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.

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.”

I think it was Q who said, “Ah, Mr. Worf. Eat a good book lately?”

Definitely a t-shirt ready quote.

I liked his quip to Riker: “I liked you better without the beard.”

waspentalive ,

But that was just Q’s ad hominem response to an even better exchange: Q: What must I do to convince you people (that he is mortal and without powers) Worf: die.

Sorry I know you said “not epic” but most things Worf says are epic.

VindictiveJudge ,

It’s Dorn’s delivery. He and Stewart could make any of their lines sound epic, no matter how cheesy the episode was

AngryHumanoid ,

Riker’s glance back at Worf when he says that is great. I would describe it as “surprised but thinks it’s a good point”.

AngryHumanoid ,

That episode is a treasure trove. “I’m not good in groups. It’s difficult to work in a group when you’re omnipotent.”

Bourbon and beans, an explosive combination.

How did I ever forget this one. Time for a Star Trek V re-watch.

startrekexplained ,

Recently rewatched the first 6 Trek films. For as bad as V is, love that line since I also love Bourbon and baked beans ;)

Doing that now actually. They’re such awesome movies.

Of all the souls I’ve come across in my travels, his was the most… human.

Gets me every damn time.
