Oh, we’ve got all of those, too. The audio plays AND the TV series. I’m pretty sure my husband has all of the versions memorized.

I’ll add a new entry: “I am no Jedi.”

The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”
“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”
“I did,” said Ford. “It is.”
“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?”
“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,”

Andromeda is very quotable, in spite of its other failings. I like:

Picard: Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they’ll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived. After all, Number One,

Time is an illusion. Lunch-time doubly so.

It’s nearly or Shaka, when the walls fell from the Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra episode. I use those quotes surprisingly often (it is surprising that I use them at all). But I’m pretty sure my favourite line is

“The avalanche has already started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote”. Kosh, Babylon 5

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” 

Transylvania. Great. Vlad the Extinctor.

This really drew me in for some reason...I don’t know why but it just feels right.

Yes, i agree with you on that. One of the challenges is moving the franchise forward but keeping the charm of era associated with it (that very pulp feeling you mention). Plus, I hear people like Indiana Jones punching people specifically from 1930ish-1945ish.

Easier way, Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth. Old Dr. Jones falls in, strapping Chris Pratt pops out. Then it’s time to take the villains to the gun show...

That’s great

That’s a really interesting take that could have significantly enriched the movie. Instead of giving us the generic badass heroine, the subtext of weighing the cost of her rash actions would have provided exactly what the movie desperately needed - character depth.

Tarkin was jarring, but I was glad to see his character in the movie. I also was OK with fake Leia. But that’s because I’m forgiving a movie that’s playing as a history piece compared to TOS. I’m less forgiving when the character is replaced on a sequel. That being said, I’m open to the convinced that someone else

Makes sense. Sometimes I’ll look up a movie on the internet to clear up a plot point or something. And you can learn a lot of extra details that way.

Please, please do not kill Leia. There’s no reason to do that. Make a reference to her leading the resistance off-screen, have someone else do the voice work for a comm call, something. We need the character now more than ever, and there’s no reason they can’t use in her future stories.

Those are the only two that know the trick, I think, and learned it from Qui Gon’s ghost I would imagine. . . .

Why are storm troopers on prison guard detail? They call them shock troops and then they turn them into general issue lackeys.
