Worst lines of dialogue in the entire series?

[Mister Atoz]

I'd like to know what you think are the worst lines of dialogue (for writing OR delivery) in the entire series. Here are some of my own nominations...

“Personally, I find the lady's taste questionable, but she obviously prefers you, and you obviously don't seem to mind.”

"He ran in, said you wanted us on the bridge."

"Gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy ! Got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy!"

"Do you say you will fight me?"

~ Mr Atoz

 

[Nerys Myk]

"Gonna crack my knuckles and jump for joy ! Got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy!"

Can't find fault with this one. It was supposed to sound goofy.

 

[Dale Sams]

"I'm talking to Mr. Spock! Don't you understand!!!...I've got it! The disease! Love....blah blah blah...have you noticed her Mr. Spock? You're allowed to notice. Blah blah blah"

And this after Nimoy gets like three minutes for his scene. Shatner (whether by choice or not) gets...45 seconds?

Though "no beach to walk on" is okay.

 

[sbk1234]

"No Bonk, bonk!"

 

[Ssosmcin]

"No, BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

"Somebody beaming down from the bridge."

"Brain and brain, what is brain?!"

"When I came aboard!!!" (the second use)

"What's happening to Lt. You-hear-rah!"

"Captain's log, stardate...armageddon."

 

[F. King Daniel]

In "The Ultimate Computer", when Kirk is in his cabin talking to McCoy.

"Unnuhununuhhh..."

Cracks me up every time. Even though it's Shatner's unique acting and not a real line.

Shat doesn't need 3 minutes. He can... speedthroughanydialogue, even, allowing... pauses... for, dramaticeffect.

 

[Gov Kodos]

The ... impostor had some ... interesting qualities, wouldn't you say, Yeoman?- Spock, to Rand in 'The Enemy Within'- There just is no way to make that comment come out remotely sane, much less good. Rand should have hauled off and belted him.

 

[Melakon]

But what of Lazarus? What of Lazarus?

 

[Robert Comsol]

Here's one from "Patterns of Force":

SPOCK: Your uniform, Captain.
KIRK: Yes, it's a shame yours isn't as attractive as mine. Gestapo, I believe.
SPOCK: Quite correct. You should make a very convincing Nazi.

If Spock only had the uniform in mind, wouldn't he have said "IT should make a very convincing Nazi."?

[Gov Kodos]

It's a joke. It's one of the funniest lines in the series.

 

[Melakon]

Spock got tons of practice in human insult humor while sparring with McCoy.

 

[CaptPapa]

First one the comes to mind . . . "Double Red Alert!"

 

[Esteban]

"Captain, I'm frightened".

"Captain, what'll we do?!!?"

 

[SchwEnt]

But what of Lazarus? What of Lazarus?

But that line is the only good thing I like in the whole eps.

 

[Dale Sams]

But what of Lazarus? What of Lazarus?

But that line is the only good thing I like in the whole eps.

Agreed. Though I do like seeing background characters with lines and seldom seen parts of the ship.

This probably belongs in the 'unjustly hated' thread, but I have no problem with "The Alternative Factor". It's pretty much the only ep I can point to Kirk actually saving not just the galaxy, but the universe.

 

[Dale Sams]

"Captain, I'm frightened".

"Captain, what'll we do?!!?"

In the spirit of that: Uhura is all ready to take another slap from a genetic superman, but when she hears Kirk is dead, she throws her head on the table to sob.

 

[1001001]

"Brain and brain, what is brain?!"

That was the first one that came to my mind.

I actually use it all the time at work.

Just about the entire script of "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield," is cringeworthy, but this exchange pretty much sums it up:

LOKAI: You see, you are from the planet Earth. There is no persecution on your planet. How can you understand my fear, my apprehension, my degradation, my suffering?
CHEKOV: There was persecution on Earth once. I remember reading about it in my history class.
SULU: Yes, but it happened way back in the twentieth century. There's no such primitive thinking today.

Subtle as a wrecking ball.

First one the comes to mind . . . "Double Red Alert!"

Which episode was that in? Makes me think of "Double Secret Probation."

Still love Gorshin in that.

True Story: I've always wanted to tell Gorshin how much I enjoyed his performance in LTBYLB...I was waiting on a guy once, and this woman who worked with me was telling me how familiar he looked. I was like, "enh."

Then after he left, she figured out it was Gorshin...not too long after he died. (sigh)
