I'm with evay on both counts (what it sounds like, and having no idea beyond that). Hint?

My hint is that it is a response to a statement by an aggressive Klingon-like species but not Klingons...it also involves a hostage situation. And one of the two series you guessed, evay, is correct. Hope this helps.

I had to Google it. I wouldn't have gotten that. Good one, though. I was right about the dry humor.

Thanks, I always liked it. You were right about a Klingon-like threat/ritual too. I'm gonna hold off for a bit to reveal the answer to see if Zeke or anyone else will try to guess.

Nope. Another hint..hopefully not too big: The hostage situation takes place on a ship belonging to the aggressive Klingon-ish species whose ship is adorned with various instruments/weapons used to get at said intestines..among other things

Well, the species has to be Hirogen. And the person saying that has to be either Tuvok or Seven.

Crap... I forget the title... is it "Hunters"?
