"In Purgatory's Shadow" it is. :)

Yep. But I just now noticed evay had <i>her</i> title wrong too... the stegosaurus time loop is in "Future Tense", not "Cease Fire". Since her post otherwise made it clear that she had the right episode, and she got to post the next quote, the same should go for Sa'ar now. But from now on, it's title-way or the hightle-way.
So the current quote is the one Sa'ar posted earlier: "I hate temporal mechanics." (Wowbagger: They were there because Garak had decoded what turned out to be a distress call from Tain. Did you make that pic?) |
*doh* I was hoping you hadn't caught that before I fixed it. :) But yes, I screwed up.

Quote:
Of course, many starship captains have complained about time travel, but I don't remember anyone referring to the field as "temporal mechanics" until after TNG ended. My money's on Janeway, simply because VOY had so much time travel and Janeway complained about time travel episodes more than once. "Shattered"? Next guess... "Year of Hell, Part I"? |
Nope. Remember, Sa'ar's VOY quotient is low. (I'm disqualified this round; I looked the quote up to see if it was in the same scene as another one I'd posted in the FB game earlier. It wasn't.)

"Visionary." If it isn't that or "Past Tense" (I or II), I give up. |
That's the one, Visionary.
Thinking back on that episode, it's clear that the writers have absolutely no clue how causality works, and they threw in that "I hate temporal mechanics" line to lampshade the fact that the entire episode makes no sense. Right, what's the next quote? |
Wowwwwwwbagger...
Hmm. Board needs a poke feature. |
WHOA. I got that right?
Yes, board much needs a poke feature. And I should probably just go ahead and make this thread my home page. Next quote is... Hm. "You people are even uglier than I remember." |
Hmm. Clearly that's "Devil in the Dim", where the Mother Horta and Enterprise crew cross paths in a low-lit, smoky karaoke nightclub in the shady districts of Risa.
Or maybe it's the one where Riker is kidnapped and his mind messed with. |
Nope! But I really want to see that episode now. I assume it's TAS?
|
Let's try Archer in "Azati Prime" again. Otherwise, it's probably an ugly alien talking about humans (Trek loves those little ironies). "Lonely Among Us"?

Hmmm! "Through a Mirror, Darkly"?
|
Nope! Right season, though.
|
"Babel One" or "United"? Archer had seen a Tellarite before...
|
"Babel One" it is, and a Tellarite it is! You're up.
|
Let's go with a classic, one of the lines I've most often referenced in fivers: "Sometimes you just have to punch your way through."
Now to look up the context for that Archer quote, because I have no idea why he was being so rude... |
Quote:
|
Or plowing into the giant space amoeba in that episode that I've actually seen?
|
Did I miss a post here? I didn't say anything about where the quote was from, but you guys are all "Are you sure it wasn't from X?"
|
I was just trying to guess, and ended up following evay's odd phrasing.
|
And I was joking, you goof. :)
|
It's either "Parallax" or "The Cloud." I think. Defs Janeways. Defs a quote I already used in the Facebook version of this game. :P
|
No it's not. You used "There's coffee in that nebula". If you're gonna stick your tongue out at somebody, get your facts straight first.
The episode is in fact "Parallax", and it's such a perfect Janeway line that VVS9 used it as the quote on the new <i>Voyager</i>'s dedication plaque. (I thought that was a bit silly. Quotes should be properly aged.) "The Cloud" is the one Sa'ar's remembering, and the source of the coffee quote. Back in the day, one of the big VOY sites was called The Coffee Nebula for that reason -- hence my rather dated blurb for the episode. Wowbagger's up next. |
OH, I finally figured out WTF is going on. Zeke wrote "I have to look up the context of that Archer quote," and he was referring to the quote about "You're uglier than I remembered," and somehow I connected that with "punch your way through" and thought that was the "rude Archer quote."
And since we're not allowed to Google, I read it and thought, "Gee, that sounds a lot more like Janeway." Which in fact it is. |
Aha! I thought it might be something like that. No, the Archer quote is the ugly one; turns out he said it because diplomacy with Tellarites is based entirely on insults. I loved S4, but the details didn't stick with me like they did in S1 and S3. Maybe it's fiver-writing that does it...
|
That reminds me: when is my signed copy of Five-Minute "Zero Hour" coming in the mail? I've changed addresses since 2008.
"See you... out there." |
1) Announcement about that shortly. 2) I woulda thought your quote was a real softball, but since it's still hanging there: Q in "All Good Things."
"A reasonable diagnosis... for a security officer." It should be easy to guess who's saying this, so which episode -- and what's the comeback? |
Really, no takers? Maybe it'll help if I supply the comeback, which is delivered a few lines later: "A prudent security measure... for a doctor."
|
Holodoc and Tuvok?
|
Yep, them's the characters. You're not gonna get the episode any time soon (watch VOY already!), but maybe you'll give someone else an assist.
|

I did finally watch all of Buffy and Angel over the last year, though. Woulda done Firefly too, but my computer didn't like the DVD. |
I'm pretty sure it's do with the Borg (the "prudent security measure" was slapping a force field around something), but it's been too long, and I don't own the eps to rewatch them.
|
Yep, right species. So when did they have a (still-assimilated) Borg drone on the ship? There were only a couple of times, so if you can think of one, guess it!
|
Quote:
|
'Fraid not. The quote isn't from "Drone" ("One" was the one with Seven running the ship alone, later remade as "Doctor's Orders"). And since you've actually brought it up now and dismissed it, I may as well reveal that it WAS Seven they were talking about, and this was in "The Gift" (her last episode prior to de-assimilation).
Let's go with another VOY quote just to annoy Sa'ar. "You're supposed to be OFF during your off-hours!" |
