We were recently discussing famous movie and television quotes. It is hard to narrow down a few quotes from some of our favorite shows. Star Trek ranks as one of the most culturally influential television shows of all time and clearly the most influential science fiction TV show of all time. The original series, which aired on the NBC network from 1966 to 1969, has spawned four successor shows starting in the 1980s and ten movies. Countless toys, books, and other products have been marketed by Paramount, the company that owns the Star Trek "franchise." But the show's cultural influence goes far beyond its ability to replicate itself and make money for its owners.
The original series and cast were the best.
Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its 5-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. (James T. Kirk)
Beam me up, Scotty.
She cannae take any more, Cap'n!
I'm a doctor, not a (you name it, McCoy said it.) "Bricklayer, engineer...."
Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Ensign Ricky are beaming down to the planet. Guess who's not coming back.
Expendability.
[asking about the tribbles]
Capt. Kirk: Scott, you didn't transport them into space did you?
Scotty: Captain Kirk, that'd be inhuman.
Capt. Kirk: Well, where are they?
Scotty: I gave them a very good home, sir.
Capt. Kirk: WHERE?
Scotty: I gave 'em to the Klingons, sir.
Capt. Kirk: You gave them to the Klingons?
Scotty: Aye, sir. Before they went into warp, I transported the whole kit'n kaboodle into their engine room, where they'll be nay tribble at all.
Creator, Gene Roddenberry and his wife (Majel Barrett). Majel was Nurse Christine Chapel in the original Star Trek series; the voice of most onboard computer interfaces throughout the series; and Lwaxana Troi (Deanna Troi's mother in Next Generation).
Make it so. Engage.
Tea, Earl Grey, hot.
Freedom is irrelevant. Resistance is futile.
You have the Bridge, Number One.
Locutus, the Borg.
And more . . .
We could go on about all the various movies and other series such as Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise. All well done. However, I will end with a photo of the new Star Trek movie. Wow. Well done in selecting the cast and historical content. I look forward to seeing more . . .
Live long and prosper!!

As in the Star Trek movie, V'Ger was searching for the "Creator"
