[color=#000000ost_uid0]Wow, 250,000 hits. Cool. How long ago was it we were coming up on 150K?

To fivers:
[quoteost_uid0]Picard: My God! Donald, can you hear me? Your ship is in...
Yamato: (on viewscreen) KER-BLAM!
Picard: ...several hundred thousand flaming pieces.
Data: One million seven hundred and seventy-one thousand five hundred and sixty-one, to be exact.

Now, where have I seen that number before?
[quoteost_uid0]Picard: Worf, take Data through the gateway. With luck, you'll both end up back on the Enterprise.
Worf: Suppose we end up going nowhere?
Picard: Then this will be your big chance to get away from it all.
Worf: Amazing. In all my life, I never thought I would ever hear a kas-volch'iq-nedah't.
Picard: A what?
Worf: In Klingon it means, "pun worthy of instant death unless it comes from a man with his finger on a planetary self-destruct button."

Riker: Everyone say Edsel!
Warp core: Pbbbt.
Riker: Neat. It has a Dreadnought mode!

And the others cited above, plus more inter-series refs (esp. VOY) and the Philip Dick one. Go, Nic!

Oh, yeah: why the Egyptian-Hittite battle of 1294 BC? Any particular reason? Liked the way the Admirals' invitation was turned around, there.[/colorost_uid0]
