DS9 quotes?
When one of the Guls got into an argument with Kira, she accused him of genocide. He calmly retorts:
" What you call genocide, I call a day's work. "
That put DS9 into a whole new perspective for me and glued me to the show.
In episode "Shadows And Symbols" when Quark joins Martok and Worf on their suicide mission to destroy the J'em Hadar shipping yards and as part of the ceremony they had to draw blood with a knife Quark enter's the bridge and says,
" What's with all the cutlery? "
Martok and/or Worf tells him that they have to shed blood to show their courage and Quark replies,
" Can't you just take my word for it? "
Brock Peters as Pa Sisko is a rare treat. I really enjoyed him on the show. He made the show seem more real.
The main problem I had with DS9 was the amount of death and destruction. It was unfathomable how many people died on that show. Made Star Wars look like a pie fight. Death, death, death, non-stop. I got depressed because Star Trek is about our great-great-umpteenth grandchildren in the future and that's the life they'll live? It horrifies me.
I would rather see the 'wonderous' episodes like the first Star Trek had and Voyager too.
----
Voyager " Someone To Watch Over Me ", the scene where the Doctor tries to teach 7 of 9 about romance and mating rituals of various species. He mentions how Species 8472 has five sexes and says,
"Bystanders had better beware".
Then he goes on to explain the ova and sperm. It was hysterical.
"Timeless" was awesome. Also That 2 parter where they went back to 1996 to fight Henry Starling. I was at a supermarket and there's a homeless guy outside that looked just like Captain Braxton. I giggled, walked into the store and ran right into the actor who plays Chakotay. I warned him that Captain Braxton was outside waiting.
The episode starring Lori Petty where Tuvok had to recall his childhood crush on a girl. Lori Petty is sooooo good as an actress.
There are way too many awesome moments on Voyager to mention.
If you watch the episode Q2 when Q's son is on board Voyager and is having a party in engineering, if you watch closely when Janeway enters they mute her voice cause it looks just like she said " Get your fucking friends out of here ". I swear I rewinded that one a dozen times. I can read lips.
Neelix believe it or not is one of the best characters ever. Ethan Phillips who portrayed him did so flawlessly. He never, ever wavered from his basic character. He grew and wasn't a coward but became quite the hero although you knew he was holding back all those years. I really treasure Neelix.
Those Captain Proton episodes were a riot. When Paris invited 7 to join him in an adventure in the episode 'Night' the robot, Satan's Robot attacks her, she doesn't bat an eye and says
"We are Borg"
And then just opens up his chest plate and rips out his wires and non chalantly turns to Paris and says,
" The robot has been neutralized, may I go now? "
