Worst. Line. Ever.

Where No One Has Gone Before

Picard (He's Captain of the flagship remember) "Or would you rather tell her about this Wes?"
Wesley "If you don't mind Sir, I'd like to sit here for a while. I'll tell her (CMO of the flagship) later"

*vomit*
 
There's coffee in that nebula
We're Starfleet, weird is part of the job.
 
Every line in "The Naked Now" said to/by Crusher and Picard, and the Engineering crew/Wesley.

In "Gamesters of Triskelion" Lars goes into Uhura's cell, whereupon we hear Uhura screaming, objects being tossed around, and Kirk yells, "What's happening to Lieutenant 'Yuhura'?"

Um, let's see... her Drill Thrall is male, very large in comparison to her, and sees her as "available"... whaddya think? :rolleyes:
 
We all know Trek has had its share of shitty lines. Which lines take the cake? I nominate Wesley Crusher's "I'm with Starfleet. We don't lie":cool:

That was the lamest line ever.

Kirk's deadpan "Oh My God" after two people die in the transporter in TMP.

I thought it was "Oh My God, they're forming"??
but I could be mistaken I haven't seen the movie in a while.
 
Though I don't remember the exact quote and consequently may be fudging it a bit, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Janeway's musings after Carey's death on how exploration isn't worth it if it costs even one life.

Too bad "Risk is our business," Kirk wasn't around to hear that.
 
Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posie...

I have this mental image of one of the child actors in that episode speaking up at one point and saying, “Have you ever actually seen a child before you started shooting this episode? That’s not how we play.”
 
"Captain, I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say… to Hell with our orders"

"Let's lock and load."

Basically, I'm saying that Data should have been bumped off in Generations rather than Nemesis.

While I agree with the 'Let's lock and load' line (mainly because not only does it not fit Data, but not many people from the 24th Century at all), I like the 'To Hell with our orders,' since it sort of mirrors a line Spock said in one of the movies (TUC perhaps?) along the lines of; 'If I were human, I would say "Go to hell"...if I were human.'

Who knows? Perhaps with his expanding grasp of idioms and turns of phrase he wanted to emphasise his agreement with going back to Earth.

It's probably more that he just doesn't pull it off. It's not that it's out of character, it just sounds cringeworthy by the way he says it.

Data swearing in Generations is another bad one. Like the other lines I've mentioned, it sounds out of place in the film rather than out of place in Data's filthy mouth.
 
I have to go with Data's "lifeforms" song. That makes me cringe in embarassment every time. Embarassment? At watching Star Trek? That simply should not be happening. Interestingly, my sister, who enjoys watching Trek with me despite not being a fan, found it perfectly acceptable. :)
I didn't mind the lifeforms bit because the crew just stood around in disbelief. If they were grinning with an 'Oh, Data" look on their faces that would've been way worse.
