Becky-the thread originator

"I take it the odds are against us and the situation's grim" -- Kirk
"You could say that" -- Picard
"If Spock were here, he'd say that I was an irrational, illlogical human being for going on a mission like this....... Sounds like fun!" -- Kirk

"Believing oneself to be perfect is often the sign of a delusional mind." -- Data to Borg Queen

"They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate countless worlds, and we fall back. Not again. Not this time. The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther! And I will make them pay for what they have done!" -- Picard, to Lily

"You look quite well for a man that's been 'utterly destroyed', Mr. Spock." -- Kirk



Emotional, isn't she?" -- Spock
"She has always been so." -- Sarek

"Now Mr. Spock, there's really something about all this that I don't understand, so maybe you could explain it to me, logically of course... Now, when you jettisoned the fuel, and ignited it, you knew that there was virtually no chance of it being seen and yet you did it anyway. Now that seems to me like an act of desperation." -- Kirk
"Quite correct, Captain." -- Spock
"Now we all know, and I'm sure the doctor would agree with me, that desperation is a highly emotional state of mind. So how does your well known logic explain that?" -- Kirk
"Quite simply captain, I examined the problem from all angles, and it was plainly hopeless. Logic informed me that under the circumstances, the only logical action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at." -- Spock
"Ah-huh, I see... So you reasoned that it was time for an emotional outburst." -- Kirk
"Well I... Wouldn't exactly put it in those terms captain, but those are essentially the facts." -- Spock
[sighs] "You aren't going to admit that for the first time in your life, you committed a purely human, emotional act?" -- Kirk

"Laws change depending on who's making them, but justice is justice." -- Odo

"Rom's an idiot. He couldn't fix a straw if it was bent." -- Odo, to Quark

"I'm sorry if I made you feel ... unwelcome. It's just my way." -- Odo


"There's no cure for the Blight. The Dominion made sure of that. And I was so arrogant I thought I could cure it in a week." -- Bashir
"Maybe that was arrogant. But it's even more arrogant to say that there is no cure, just because you couldn't find it." -- Dax

"I think you may have uncovered my one redeeming virtue! Am I blushing?" -- Q
"Seems I've found myself on the voyage of the damned" -- Doctor


"These people are natural born explorers" -- Kes
"These people are natural born idiots" -- Neelix
"Mr. Kim, we're Starfleet officers. Weird is part of the job" -- Janeway


"Ever since my first day on the job as a Starfleet Captian, I swore I'd never let myself get caught in one of these Godforsaken paradoxes. The past is the future, the future is the past, it all gives me a headache." -- Janeway


"We need to talk about this...I think we need to define some paramaters...about us." -- Janeway
"I'm not sure I can...define peramaters. But I can tell you a story, an acient legend among my people. Its about an angry warrior who lived his life in conflict with the rest of his tribe, a man who couldn't find peace even with the help of his spirit guide. For years he stuggled with his discontent, but the only satisfaction he ever got came when he was in battle. This made him a hero among his tribe, but the warrior still longed for peace within himself. One day he and his war party were captured by a neighboring tribe, lead by a woman warrior. She called on him to join her, because her tribe was too small and weak to defend itself from all its enimies. The woman warrior was brave, and beautiful, and very wise. The angry warrior swore to himself that he would stay by her side, doing whatever he could to make her burden lighter. From that point on her needs would come first; and in that way, the warrior began to know the true meaning of peace." -- Chakotay

"Well it's a damn ugly nothing!" -- Geordi
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." -- Captain Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie

"If there's nothing wrong with me... maybe there's something wrong with the universe!" -- Dr. Crusher

"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you oughtta go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid." -- Q

"Yes... I do" -- Data

"Well I have a dream too. A dream about making people happy. The kind of dream that gets better the more you share it."

Fear less, hope more,
eat less, chew more,
whine less, breathe more,
talk less, say more,
hate less, love more,
and all good things will be yours.

"Well I have a dream too. A dream about making people happy. The kind of dream that gets better the more you share it."

Kermit the Frog
"And, well, I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And it kind of makes us like a family"

Also by Kermit (my hero)....this quote reminds me of the forum :D

"And, well, I've found a whole bunch of friends who have the same dream. And it kind of makes us like a family"

Also by Kermit (my hero)....this quote reminds me of the forum :DI love Kermit! I havn't seen The first Muppet movie in a while. :( We don't own it, but I think the "Great Muppet Caper" would have to be one of my favorites. :)

I love Kermit! I havn't seen The first Muppet movie in a while. :( We don't own it, but I think the "Great Muppet Caper" would have to be one of my favorites. :)
Hmm, it's hard to say, I love the original Muppet Movie, but, the Great Muppet Caper is quite the contender for it, to me, they are both amazing but in different ways. I wish they would come out with the muppet show again. :(

Well, With Disney at the Muppet Helm I can't say I want the muppet show back. It wouldn't be the same. Are you also a fan if "Story Teller", Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth?

(sorry to the other forum members for getting off topic):o
