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 swore I would never use one of these. Computer, activate the emergency medical hologram.”
“State the nature of the medical emergency.”
“A dozen Borg are about to pound through that bulkhead. I need you to buy us some time.”
“Starfleet medical records indicate that Borg implants cause substantial discomfort. Can I offer you an analgesic?”
Robert Picardo lobbied so hard for that cameo!

I just rewatched this film yesterday 😀😀
@immersfer @MajorHavoc @Nmyownworld
Didn’t he say also that he is a doctor, not a door stopper ? 😁
Yeah, I skipped a few great lines in there because I couldn’t remember them.
@MajorHavoc
I should rewatch that that film, too. :)
