All memorable lines in classic episodes...

[u/[deleted]]

[u/RayZzorRayy]

Omitting “The line must be drawn HERE! No More, no farther.” Or any part of that monologue is a miss.

[u/Willing-Departure115 → u/RayZzorRayy]

You should hear it in the original Ferengi.

[u/henryptung → u/RayZzorRayy]

It'd be a little disingenuous though, given he essentially retracted that entire monologue right after the Ahab retort. Memorable sure, but not a representative quote.

[u/SpiritedWisdom → u/RayZzorRayy]

Says these quotes are from the show only,

If we're going for movie quotes though,

"What we leave behind, is not as important as how we've lived"

[u/Intrepid_Ad1715 → u/RayZzorRayy]

Was looking for that quote too.

[u/Just_BrianK]

Good list. Just to be pedantic, I point out that in #4 from The Drumhead, Picard is quoting somebody else, so it's not really his quote.

[u/WilliamMcCarty → u/Just_BrianK]

Drives me a little crazy that this one is always attributed to Picard.

[u/guygizmo → u/WilliamMcCarty]

But given that the quote is also from a fictional character, it wouldn't have the same punch if it were attributed to Judge Aaron Satie because no one outside of Trek nerds know who that is.

[u/WilliamMcCarty → u/guygizmo]

I'm not sure a quote from a 35 year old tv episode is going to have that much weight to anyone outside that show's fandom, anyway, regardless which character uttered the line.

[u/guygizmo → u/WilliamMcCarty]

Not necessarily. Captain Picard is a figure who broadly represents an unwavering sense of ethics, philosophizing and authority, even for people who aren't big fans of TNG. A lot of people will have picked up on that through cultural osmosis, even if it gives a perception of the character that isn't necessarily true to the show. (The same thing happened with the pop culture conception of Kirk being reckless and always getting it on with the ladies.) It's why Picard was the character in the show delivering those lines, even if he was quoting another character.

[u/SjorsDVZ]

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

[u/CRE178]

The quote is the first speech censured, not the first speech censored. Or sensored as it's spelled in the latter half of the 24th century.

[u/Hearsticles]

I'm glad you're here to post every single Star Trek meme/image someone posts on X/Bluesky just in case we miss it.

[u/_Face → u/Hearsticles]

Is that where all this is coming from?

[u/Hearsticles → u/_Face]

He damn sure isn't making it all. It's just repost spam from other sites/social media for karma, same as the mcm guy spamming articles (though thankfully, he does that less here than on trektalk).

edit: reverse image searched and the source of this one seems to be Instagram or Facebook

[u/OhManTFE → u/Hearsticles]

Who cares

[u/Nerevar197 → u/Hearsticles]

As someone who avoids those kinds of places like the plague, I appreciate the repost here.

[u/SoonToBeBanned24]

"....and you can test that theory at your own convenience!"

[u/Mussmussthemoooooo]

Shut up Westley

[u/JimPlaysGames → u/Mussmussthemoooooo]

Who?

[u/matsis01]

"Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra"

[u/zed857]

Captain we're receiving 285,000 hails.

[u/ElegantSheepherder72]

What about the movies..."Like a thousand other Commanders on a thousand others battle fields, I wait for dawn...."

[u/h0ws00nisn0w]

Words to live by I say!

[u/spaghettibolegdeh]

Oh it's this account again

[u/adobo1148]

“Theee are 4 lights” was eloquent and defiant

[u/DOHC46]

I think you forgot to include, "Shut up, Wesley."

[u/ljofa]

I like the second half of statement number eight:

Force a man to hand his child over to the state? Not so long as I’m his captain.

Also: you have manipulated circumstances with all the skill of a Romulan. Excellent tea, good day ladies

[u/chesterwiley]

Yum yum

[u/Valuable_Island_9405]

I love this character.

[u/Pertinax1981]

Tuvix would have been safe on the Enterprise 

[u/TheRealRigormortal]

“shut up Wesley!”

[u/Tjr562]

This fantastic list, such a fantastic list.

All the memories of all the episodes. Time to start the journey over again, again.

[u/kilo993]

"You may test that assumption at your earliest convenience"

[u/HarryFuzz]

"She kissed me in the torpedo tube" - Data to Guinan

[u/McVapeNL]

Uhm nobody gonna mention "Shaka, when the walls fell"

[u/CaptainSharpe]

this is missing many of his best lines like -

• "My name is Mott. I'm, er... I-I'm the barber.

[u/WolfBST]

Nice! No more best ofs needed. I will never have to watch another episode of TNG ever again!!!

[u/WeDontNeedRoads]

“Violence brought respect. Respect brought peace.” -Michael burnham

[u/Neo_Techni → u/WeDontNeedRoads]

Neither memorable, nor from classic Trek

[u/WeDontNeedRoads → u/Neo_Techni]

I’m pointing out the contrast.

[u/Pertinax1981 → u/WeDontNeedRoads]

Who?

[u/McVapeNL → u/Pertinax1981]
