Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 3x10 - "The Last Generation"
- Thread starter Commander Richard

I liked when Wesley left his Starfleet career behind and went off into the unknown with the Traveler. It was sad when he showed up in uniform in Nemesis.
This has been somewhat addressed upstream, but are there any examples since "engage," aside from Captain Freeman's "Warp me"?
The catchphrase thing is kind of annoying for how forced it is, but if there has to be a recurring bit across all the current shows I can think of a lot worse.
Anyway Seven's should be "give me warp 5 of 9"

wity what we saw in season 2 I think the novels explanation can work - turns up a few minutes before naked (betazoid wedding), and the only suitable thing Picard has available at short notice is a spare uniform
I'm not a fan of the catchphrase becoming a "thing" in Star Trek now. Plus for me Seven's would have worked fine as Engage. She has had two big mentors for Starfleet in her life in Janeway and Picard so it would make sense to stick with theirs.
There was Janeway's "Do it!"
* Burnham's "Let's fly!" (Disco)
* Rios's "Dale!" (Picard S2)
* Pike's "Hit it!" (SNW)
* Dal's "Go fast!" (Prodigy)
”No”.It's been a thing since TNG...
I also wonder what Shaw's catch phrase was.
And that’s why the Titan never got anywhere.
exactly. It’s a nutrek thing, not something you ever saw in the old series or movies.
It is rather silly, IMO.
Are personal commands of execution of warp written into regulation?
Does SF require crewmembers to memorize all the commands of execution for warp for all the CO?
If I am a new captain or taking command of a new ship, how do I communicate the command of execution? Staff conferences? Shipwide flyers?
If I have to take over a ship in an emergency, will the crew have to assume from context what I means by yelling, "Give me SPEEEEEED!" or "Light me up!"
Are there other commands I can personalize? Instead of shields, can I call for the Testudo?
On TOS, Kirk usually said, "Warp factor two, Mr. Sulu."
If they're leaning into Seven being like Kirk, she might go back to something along those lines ("Warp four, Ms. La Forge").
It reminds me a lot of how in most mecha anime every pilot have a catchphrase for launching their mech from the ship and I enjoy that, and I think I'd enjoy the go to warp catchphrase bit as well if they weren't constantly calling out that it is a bit.
On Dragonball Z, they announce their attacks ("SUNBURST! FIREBLADE! VOLCANO RAIN! FIREWIND! CYCLONE!")
The trailer for SNW 2 has a whole scene about the crew teasing Spock about what his "go phrase" is gonna be.
It's far too meta for my liking.
This was essentially the more direct version of "make it so", she said it more often when it was "crunch" time.
Translates something along the lines of "do it", which as he followed up with "make it so" and then Agnes' comment about a command with baggage its obviously him using Picard's catch phrase with his own spin
As for the rest it does seem like they are all trying to just be unique, the only one which really sounds organic is Pike's "Hit it!" as he said that in Discovery too.
There's a difference between a catch phrase and giving an order.
Given how easy it is to steal stuff from it I suspect it's closed to tourists.
“Ludicrous speed! Now!
Oops! Wrong show
Personally, I like Kirk’s phrase from one of the movies ( I think it is V)
“Let’s see what’s out there.”

"Thattaway" from TMP is also a great one, though I don't know how much of a shelf life it has if you do it all the time.
Shelby: All you know how to do is play it safe. I suppose that's why someone like you sits in the shadow of a great man for as long as you have, passing up one command after another. Proceed to deck eight.
Riker: When it comes to this ship and this crew, you're damned right I play it safe.
I always felt Riker acted a bit of a jerk earlier in the scene to Shelby, which may have ended up drowning out his actual good message to Shelby at the end, that when it comes to the crew he plays it safe. Shelby obviously never listened to the moral of this. She ended up recklessly chain linking the fleet and ended up getting herself killed.
Looking back now, someone who doesn't know any better might think that Matalas wrote BOBW and planned the seeds for all this, including Shelby's poetic justice end, if it weren't for the fact that Matalas was 15 when BOBW aired (I know Trek sometimes grabs writers young but I think even David Gerrold was at least early twenties when he wrote Tribbles)
