Trek quote game

[Nate the Great]

To celebrate April Fools I'd give a quote from a non-Trek series for a change, but nothing's coming to mind that'd be mainstream enough for you guys.

"When the neutrinos are in bloom."

Wow. Hey everybody, see that red mark on your face? That's where Nate just slapped us with his glove.

[Nate the Great]

That came out more snobbish than I'd intended, but I can't be sure how many of you were fans of Stargate or Andromeda. Never Babylon 5, however. Ugh.

[Zeke]

Heh -- if that's snobbery, I want my money back. I was expecting, I dunno, Blake's 7 or The Quatermass Experiment or at least Isaac Asimov. The stuff DoctorWho42 is always quoting on Facebook, in other words. </reference no one but me will get>

I can only speak for myself, but I love DROM, though I haven't seen much of the later stuff. (Okay, I did list it in Five-Minute Cheese, but that was affectionate ribbing.) SG is a franchise I never got into -- the movie's great, but I couldn't see a whole TV show in that premise. One of these days I'll catch up and probably love it.

Not a B5 fan, eh? I'd pay to see you and Sa'ar duke it out over that one. But hopefully I'll get it for free!

Don't recognize the quote. For clarity, is it in fact Trek? And if it is Trek, is it "Rivals"?

[Nate the Great]

Yes, Star Trek. Not Rivals.

[Zeke]

Looks like we need this narrowed down a bit.

[Nate the Great]

Fine, the previous line (censored a bit to remove obvious giveaways) is "There's nothing more romantic than a X on Y in springtime."
"When the neutrinos are in bloom."

[Nate the Great]

Fine, it's from the episode "You are Cordially Invited." "There's nothing more romantic than a wedding on DS9 in springtime."

Next quote!

"Please not the Death Chant."

[Zeke]

Hmm. Let's try "In the Cards" and "Penumbra." It sounds like what someone listening to Klingon opera might say.

[Nate the Great]

It sounds like a Klingon reference, but it's not. Guess again.

[Zeke]

Not Klingon... Ferengi maybe? Let's try "The Nagus" and "Body Parts".

[Nate the Great]

Not Ferengi. Not DS9 for that matter. That's all the hints I'm giving for now.

[Nate the Great]

Next hint: It's from NextGen.

[Nate the Great]

Fine, it's Ro Laren in "The Next Phase." Ro and Geordi are presumed dead in a transporter accident, but are just invisible and intangible, watching the crew plan their funerals:

Data: Ensign Ro was Bajoran. Her beliefs should be reflected as well. But their death rituals are quite complicated.
Ro: Please, not the Death Chant...
Worf: The Bajoran Death Chant is over two hours long.

Next quote:

"I said you're a penny-ante operator!"

[Nate the Great]

No takers whatsoever? Need a hint?

[Zeke]

Oh, sorry, I was distracted by a shiny object. "Piece of the Action"?

[Nate the Great]

Yup. Your turn.

[Zeke]

Nice. Okay, let's see...

"Off the hook, after all."

[Nate the Great]

Had to look it up, but the thread was dead:

Li Nalas in "The Siege".

And now for something a bit easier:

"We'll both die here!" "Then that's the way it shall be!"

[Zeke]

Sorry, forgot to check the thread again. Yes, it's "The Siege", following up on an exchange Li had with Sisko earlier. ("I would die for my people, but --" "Of course you would. Dying gets you off the hook.")

Kirk and Kruge, STIII? I've only seen it once.
