Comments (73)
"Let's make sure history never forgets the name... Enterprise." - Picard
It breaks me up just reading it. "Thank you for my life"
"He is a Borg." - Worf
"You may test that assumption at your convenience" - Picard
I think there are so many great lines that the same question could be posed for each character for this season.
Runner up: “You’re still fat, K’mpec.” -Kahlest
There's so many good quotes.
"Yeah... this all very interesting." - Picard
"Compared to you everybody on this ship is an expert on women." - Geordi
"I wouldn't go THAT far." - Picard
I definitely selected Worf’s I’ve been tutoring him My honorable mention is attributed to Deanna Troy “the sacred chalice of riechs is an old clay pot with mold growing in it.”
"You may test that assumption at your convenience."
I would have selected Picard's "Let's make sure history never forgets the name....Enterprise"
This!
"Good tea... Nice house." - Worf S3E3
Let's make sure history never forgets... the name..."Enterprise"
I can’t believe that’s not an option. By far the best line of the season.
"If you can't make the big decisions, commander, I suggest you make room for someone who can." Commander Shelby, BoBW pt1… So many good lines this season!
The options are not good enough, dammit, not good enough.
Who is to say these questions are any less proper than the others? < Guinan has entered the chat >
"Die." Worf in Deja Q.
Oh shit, the real winner
"That was the stun setting. This is not." - Data "I never lie when I've got sand in my shoes, Commodore." - La Forge "Poker... is that a game of some sort?" - Riker "Your ambushes would be more successful if you bathed more often." - Worf "Shall we die together?" - Picard "No more killing." - Dr. Beverly "...Red alert!" - Naked Q "A warrior's drink!" - Worf "I'd like my death to count for something." - Yar "He's biting that female!" - Lal "I never kill anyone at the supper table, Mr. La Forge." - Kurn "You may test that assumption at your convenience." - Picard "You are still fat, K'mpec." - Kahlest "Muzzle it!" - Troi "For an android with no feelings, he sure managed to evoke them in others." - Riker "At least I don't have to find my women on the holodeck!" - Wesley "Mr. Crusher, set a course for Betazed. Warp 9." - Picard "You must let her see the fire in your eyes." - Worf, to a blind man whose eyes are always hidden behind a VISOR "Less talk, more synthehol." - Worf
Nice list. I would also include, "I will feel it for both of us." - Lal
"Resistance is futile."
This.
In sins of the father, Picard says to Duross, “You may test that assumption at your own convenience” In other words, fuck around and find out.
Easy for Picard to do, Duras is pathetic. Nothing to fear!
So many this season. Tough to choose just 1!
The PER character one liners work. Or just WORF. "Nice house... good tea."
As the "let's make sure history never forgets..." line has been mentioned plenty of times, I'll offer this as an honorable mention: "Please don't feel compelled now to tell me the story of the boy who cried Worf." - Q
“Captain, I have been inspecting the egg for the last twenty years. You may lay it when ready.” - The superlative Dr. Stubbs.
Honorable Mention: "That will be the day."
"Lets make sure history never forgets the name, Enterprise." - Picard
Forget honorable mention. Legendary mention.
Honorable mention: “You’re in my way.” -Shelby, BOBW
Ooo tough call between the first two. "I've been tutoring him" is LOL funny but "Mr. Worf, fire" is dramatic and pivotal to the development of the series.
And Worf's "Die." exhibits much more wit and sagacity anyways.
An honorable mention: "What are your intentions with my Daughter?" - Data
PICARD: "Look, I don't wish to appear rude, but I am not seeking jamaharon. "
“On the starship Enterprise, no one is alone…until we leave you alone in your quarters for hours on end” 😂
Or your name is Barclay ....
I would've picked "Thank you for my life", but "Mr. Worf, fire!" is the one that's always repeated. And though I still wouldn't have pick it, another notable entry could've/should've been is "I'm just an android".
“I’m just an android” was considered for Data
Good tea ... nice house
"on the starship enterprise no one is alone" underrated. iconic. thematic. The very moment the show switched to s3 storytelling (maybe not technically but in your hearts you know it to be true)
"Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise." - Alternate Picard
Wild that this one didn't get nominated. Legendary moment / line.
This one is really tough, guys. More lines deserve to be on this list. However, if I had to pick an Honorable Mention, it would be Picard's response to Admiral Haftel: "Order a man to hand his child over to the state? Not while I'm his captain."
That's up there on my list, too. If I had one.
Then send in your own probe, Goss!
I shall try some of your burned replicated bird meat
BIRD meat
Thank you for going for the dramatic and the profound rather than the pithy and the throwaway. Picard channeling his swashbuckler to intone, "Let's make sure that history never forgets the name ... Enterprise." is a series, nay, a franchise, defining. But of these choices, Lal takes it, with such a simple, pure statement. I gotta tell ya, her line hits SO MUCH harder on this 50yr old grandfather than it did on that stupid small-town kid so long ago.
His quote from the Bonding hit us a bit more, but I understand that one is a fan favorite
One worlds butcher is another world’s hero. Perhaps I am neither one. - Admiral Jerok
"Eat any good books lately" is one of the top 5 lines in the history of television.
"Die." is still better, but you have a point.
Honorable mention: They let you escape with an arsenal of worthless secrets. - Picard to Admiral Jerok
Die -Worf, in response to Q
Other" "Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise. ...
"And then, I just slapped him" - Beverly channeling every S1 & S2 viewer's best fantasy
Just reading Lal's line made me kinda 🥹
I'm sorry to be the Lal stan-girl but come on, we have to recognise that line.
When Alex and Josh start bawling, we'll talk.
Can I mention a line from the S3 blooper reel?
Go ahead
Let's make sure that history never forgets the name Enterprise.
"Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?"
LOL. I forgot about that one. Great one.
Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise.
What, no “Good tea. Nice house.” ??
This!
