Of course, we also still use "Svimvear! Veddy nice." Five points to anyone who knows that reference.

"Some game"? That was Warcraft II. I think you're referring to the Orc Grunt.

The poke sequence went something like this:
Argh?
Yes?
Argh?
WHAAAAAAAAAT!
Stop poking me.
IwouldnotdosuchthingsifIwereyou.

The Alliance equivalent (Human footman) said things like "Are you still touching me?" and "Don't you have a kingdom to run?"

Oho, that scenario sounds familiar. Voyager's "Parallax"?

Let's change it up a bit. There's a TOS episode where Spock remarks on "The renowned * punctuality," where * is a species. What species is it?

Yep. When the Enterprise trespasses in their space, they show up and attack right on schedule.

The "blank" is "Breen", and it's an episode of DS9, but I don't know the speaker or episode.

Breen is correct, and we don't seem to be requiring the name of the episode or the speaker, since Zeke gave me credit for just saying Tholian. I believe you're up.

Yeah, but there was only one episode with Tholians, and it was called "The Tholian Web", so I figured it went without saying. We'll let it go, though, as this one would've been hard to narrow down. (It's from "In Purgatory's Shadow" -- certainly not the first episode I think of when Breen are mentioned.)

"I am proud of what I am. I believe in what I do. Can you say that?"

Wow, that one seems to have frozen us solid. Mind narrowing it down a bit?

A bit? TOS, a man and a woman talking about the different ways they've chosen to live their lives.

Okay, I'll give another hint. It's said by one of the main cast to a guest star of the opposite gender.
