    The "Annihilation" line, because its audio was featured in a funny birthday card--the best thing to come from this episode.

    The KILL KILL KILL KILL line got my vote. Reminds me of fans talking about Enterprise or JJTrek.

    "If he should come through (the portal) at a time of his own choosing ..."

    The sentence itself is an awkwardly worded line of dialogue, to begin with. Then the way it was "read" was strange, too. And it's also noticeable, because the same line is said about 3 times in this episode.


    "... a time of his own choosing ..."

    I watched the episode the other day. I think Lazarus says "KILL!" five times in a row.

    Janet MacLachlan was pretty hot.

    There's no kill like overkill. :)

    Yes, the whole thing. Well, except for the lack of Scotty.

    But my favorite line isn't in the poll. Kirk says, "Bones, If I had time, I'd....laugh". So I voted "Other".

    Yeah, how come "KILL!" x 5 isn't on the poll?

    ^ Because it's already the first choice?

    Yes. Now someone will have to make an avatar of one of Lazarus' falling scenes.

    This isn't directly related to the poll, but every Alternative Factor thread deserves posts, so I'll ask my questions here. :)

    In the teaser, Spock says that the planet has an oxygen-hydrogen atmosphere. Would that be breathable, with hydrogen outweighing nitrogen?

    I wonder why the life form detected (Lazarus) was referred to as 'apparently human', but its body temperature was said to be 98.5, and not the human norm of 98.6? How odd...
