Star Trek Meme: Day 12
Day 12 - What's your favorite funny moment?
This is so hard to answer that I must list seperately for each incarnation.
TOS: Two I already named - the Tribble on Kirk's head is competing with Iman!Shapeshifter turning into William Shatner and delivering his/her line re: Kirk's secret wish. Runner-up: Mad swashbuckler Sulu in The Naked Time adressing Uhura as "fair maiden" and Uhura retorting "sorry, neither", and also the scene in Charlie X where Uhura is teasing Spock via song and he gamely plays along. Can't decide between these four.
TNG: "What can I do to convince you people?" "Die." (Deja Q, Q is trying to assure the Enterprise crew this isn't another game, he really did turn human, and Worf giving his succint answer. I mean, I love Q, but that was perfect.) On that note, I'm also fond of another Worf moment, from the Robin Hood episode: "I am not a merry man!". But if I have to choose, it must stay behind such gems as Deanna's tipsy First Contact (the movie, not the episode) rant - "this is not the time to argue about time!", or "Jean-Luc, Jean-Luc, sometimes I think the only reason I come here is to listen to those wonderful speeches of yours" (Q in True Q, after Picard has just delivered an impassioned defense of humanity (again)).
DS9: One runner-up: "If you're above money, you certainly don't need mine." (Nog to Jake in In the Cards - In The Cards is full of hilarity, of course, but here Nog strikes a blow against the mystery that is Federation economics and moral lectures to Ferengi on same) competing with "we don't talk about it to outsiders" (Worf's non-explanation for the change of looks for Klingons from the TOS era to the movieverse, TNG and after era in Trials and Tribble-ations). And then there's Quark's deadpan reply in Little Green Men when Odo shows up at the 11th hour and one of the humans asks who this is: "My hero." (It's funny because it's true.*g*) But really, the crown has to go to Garak's and Quark's immortal rootbeer/Federation exchange from my icon.
Voyager: Janeway as Arachnia in Captain Proton is certainly up there, as is the Doctor in Seven of Nine's body experiencing food and drink, but my favourite funny Voyager moment is a daydream the Doctor has, involving Tuvok and... you'll see. Ignore the rubbish he says about La Donna é mobile at the start of this sequence (no, Doctor, this aria isn't sung by a poor student about his heartless mistress, it's sung by a ruthless lothario of a Duke about to pounce on his latest victim), and just bask in what follows:
Day 1 - Which Star Trek series is your favorite?
Day 2 - Who is your favorite character?
Day 3 - Who is your least favorite character?
Day 4 - What was the first episode/movie you watched?
Day 5 - What was the first Star Trek series you watched?
Day 6 - Your favorite canon pairing? (Canon being the series and the movies, including the reboot.)
Day 7 - Your favorite non-canon pairing?
Day 8 - Your favorite actor/actress? (Not the same as character.)
Day 9 - What's your favorite episode?
Day 10 - What's your favorite species? (Humans are a species as well.)
Day 11 - What's your least favorite species? (See question 9 about species.)
Day 13 - What's your favorite dramatic moment?
Day 14 - What's your favorite Star Trek quote?
Day 15 - How did you get into Star Trek?
Day 16 - Are you involved with Star Trek fandom?
Day 17 - Have you read any of the books? If so, which ones?
Day 18 - If you could be any species in the Star Trek universe, what would you be?
Day 19 - How did the Star Trek reboot affect you?
Day 20 - Of the minor characters (one shots, not the recurring ones) who’s your favorite?
Day 21 - Which Star Trek food would you want to try at least once?
Day 22 - Which Star Trek world would you want to visit at least once?
Day 23 - Is there anything you'd want to change about Star Trek? Why?
Day 24 - Is there anything about Star Trek that has disappointed you?
Day 25 - How has Star Trek changed you?
Day 26 - Lots of Star Trek Parodies out there. Which do you dig?
Day 27 - What would you cross over with Star Trek?
Day 28 - Your favourite friendship in Star Trek?
Day 29 - If you could tell Gene Roddenberry one thing, Star Trek related or not, what would it be?
