"I would like the ship to go now."

Lol How the hell I don't remember this scene from Airplane I tought I remember all of them.

visibly controlling laughter

“Nailed it, sir.”

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So good. Still makes me audibly laugh.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They left it open, but I'm certain Captain Seven 's warp phrase is "Comply".

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Im voting for "Borg it!"

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

If I had to actually write it for the show, I'd probably make hers "Get it done". It's Janeway esque with a hint of Picard.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Thats been sullied by captain jelico though.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Also a good one. I can hear it.

Doesn't have the lyrical quality to it, but it works if you squint.

[–] Captain_Ender@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You forgot the best one

Captain Freeman: Warp me!

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Give me warp in the factor of 5, 6, 7, 8

... as they swing their leg over a chair to sit down

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bonk it.

Fucking offended. Simply because what Saru decided to go with was objectively worse. Execute. I love you man but come on. Then again the other floated options were 'Manifest' and 'Hit it' which is already used by Pike (as Saru points out). So... not much better.

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hehehe, sorry to offend. I didn't make the meme, just enjoyed the spirit of it.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not actually offended, just in case that didn't come off. also liked the meme <3

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did not think you were actually offended.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just wanted to make sure buddy

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I wanted to truly offend you, I'd make a quip about Canada, which is nothing but America's hat.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just watched that exact episode last night!

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a great one! Then again, any Badgey episode is a Goodgey episode

I’m cross-pollinating for sure, but Thrawn’s has quite the impact

Note: if you are watching but haven’t finished the Ahsoka series, that clip contains spoilers.

[–] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm still so happy that they got Lars Mikkelsen. He was perfect in Rebels and continues to he perfect in Ahsoka.

Agreed - outstanding casting decision. There are a lot of things that frustrate me about the show, but for the most part I’ve found the “bad guys” FAR more interesting and compelling than anything about the “good guys” (and that includes the acting). Thrawn (and his troopers) and Baylan are GREAT.

Also, shoutout to Hayden Christensen for bringing some excellent subtlety to Anakin’s character at this point in the story - if you’re a nerd for this shit, there’s some really cool lightsaber style nuances and subtle callbacks/echoes to plot points and character traits that were mostly established outside of the prequel trilogy itself.

Bop it!

There's been a couple seasons where it felt like the defiant was the only ship in the Starfleet fleet.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Worf commanded the Defiant. Sisko commanded a space station, which just makes "shut that thing off and fire torpedoes" all the more apropos.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Word’s phrase would be “Ramming speed!”

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I decided a while ago that if I was a captain, my warp phrase would be Captain Tenneal's "Let's Go!" from MXC.

Just posting this comment to call "dibs!"

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right you are, Ken.

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

LEEERRROOYYY JENNKINNNNNS!

[–] FlatFootFox@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I love new Star Trek but the, “What’s your go to warp slogan?” banter feels a little like an indulgent writer’s room exercise. Each Captain had their own thing, but they never called too much attention to it on the classic shows. It was like their unique caffeine orders. Discovery’s banter with Saru felt authentic to that crew’s rapport, but the fact that it went on to become a Starfleet meme on Lower Decks and the cliffhanger ending of Picard is such an odd modern invention.

…but I’ll be darned if I don’t laugh every time.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't know how popular of an opinion it is

but I really liked Burnham's "Let's Fly" and Janeways's do it.

but the meme shows me I need to rewatch most of DS9

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

"Should we put Captain Lorca's warp phrase on the image?"

"Nah, fuck that mirror universe asshole. Just add another Pike and call it a day."

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Redhotkurt@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Lol nice. Hmm, yeah, between Saru's correction and the panels for Spock and Seven that need to be added, this meme could use an update.

[–] dejected_warp_core@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just want to see a Starfleet captain with a real zeal for ancient seacraft. I can see that spilling over onto the bridge with practical air of fun self-indulgence. Let's bring back some of those SeaQuest vibes.

  • Ensign, make best speed for port.
  • Helm, all stop.
  • Full reverse! Helm, evasive maneuvers. Bring us 20 degrees below the galactic plane. Weapons, launch countermeasures.
  • Engineering, I need silent running, now.

Sisko did build that Bajoran solar sailing ship, which was a nod to seagoing vessels.
