TNG S3 AWARDS - Best One-Liner

"Let's make sure history never forgets the name... Enterprise." - Picard

Ron Hubbard Jr

It breaks me up just reading it. "Thank you for my life"

Richard Powers Hardt

"He is a Borg." - Worf

Shatner's Toupee

"You may test that assumption at your convenience" - Picard

GreenCauldron08

I think there are so many great lines that the same question could be posed for each character for this season.

HuskerChuck

This!

Remi Samson

Runner up: “You’re still fat, K’mpec.” -Kahlest

Column Meanie

There's so many good quotes.

Guts

LOL. I forgot about that one. Great one.

Guts

"Yeah... this all very interesting." - Picard

Guts

"Compared to you everybody on this ship is an expert on women." - Geordi

Guts

"I wouldn't go THAT far." - Picard

Guts

“Oh. My. God.” — Geordi ("Hollow Pursuits")

Jovet

I definitely selected Worf’s I’ve been tutoring him My honorable mention is attributed to Deanna Troy “the sacred chalice of riechs is an old clay pot with mold growing in it.”

Thicketdweller

When Alex and Josh start bawling, we'll talk.

Jovet

That's up there on my list, too. If I had one.

Jovet

And Worf's "Die." exhibits much more wit and sagacity anyways.

Jovet

"You may test that assumption at your convenience."

TomEmilioDavies

Who is to say these questions are any less proper than the others? < Guinan has entered the chat >

#MaxwellDidNothingWrong

I would have selected Picard's "Let's make sure history never forgets the name....Enterprise"

HuskerChuck

"Good tea... Nice house." - Worf S3E3

Chris McLaughlin

I can’t believe that’s not an option. By far the best line of the season.

Jordan Cooper

Let's make sure history never forgets... the name..."Enterprise"

Kyle H

"If you can't make the big decisions, commander, I suggest you make room for someone who can." Commander Shelby, BoBW pt1… So many good lines this season!

Ian Zammit

Easy for Picard to do, Duras is pathetic. Nothing to fear!

Jovet

Came here to say this.... that or "Very clever Worf, eat any good books lately?"

John Dracup

The options are not good enough, dammit, not good enough.

Ken R

Well, I got the spirit of it.

startrekiborg

"Good tea, nice house" -also Worf.

Nate K

@Lwaxana's Poolboy Well, let's be honest. He probably didn't.

Jovet

"Die." is still better, but you have a point.

Jovet

@startrekiborg @Target Audience I hope you meant "I AM just an android" 🤦

Jovet

"Eat any good books lately?" – Q

Jovet

+ "Postponed one hundred and ninety-six years... on account of rain." – Dr. Stubbs

Jovet

This. There is no contest. This poll is a fraud without this being a choice.

Jovet

This.

Juan Tutrífor

Eat any good books lately?

Juan Tutrífor

Ta!

SinocTheHodgeheg

BIRD meat

#MaxwellDidNothingWrong

Oh shit, the real winner

#MaxwellDidNothingWrong

"Die." Worf in Deja Q.

Darin Wagner

Nice list. I would also include, "I will feel it for both of us." - Lal

David Felgate

"That was the stun setting. This is not." - Data "I never lie when I've got sand in my shoes, Commodore." - La Forge "Poker... is that a game of some sort?" - Riker "Your ambushes would be more successful if you bathed more often." - Worf "Shall we die together?" - Picard "No more killing." - Dr. Beverly "...Red alert!" - Naked Q "A warrior's drink!" - Worf "I'd like my death to count for something." - Yar "He's biting that female!" - Lal "I never kill anyone at the supper table, Mr. La Forge." - Kurn "You may test that assumption at your convenience." - Picard "You are still fat, K'mpec." - Kahlest "Muzzle it!" - Troi "For an android with no feelings, he sure managed to evoke them in others." - Riker "At least I don't have to find my women on the holodeck!" - Wesley "Mr. Crusher, set a course for Betazed. Warp 9." - Picard "You must let her see the fire in your eyes." - Worf, to a blind man whose eyes are always hidden behind a VISOR "Less talk, more synthehol." - Worf

mrxak

"Resistance is futile."

Regan

I don't think I remember that line in that episode.

Nolan

Stevtrek

In sins of the father, Picard says to Duross, “You may test that assumption at your own convenience” In other words, fuck around and find out.

Patrick Smith

So many this season. Tough to choose just 1!

Dennis Hall

One of the best lines ever.

Juan Tutrífor

The PER character one liners work. Or just WORF. "Nice house... good tea."

A G

As the "let's make sure history never forgets..." line has been mentioned plenty of times, I'll offer this as an honorable mention: "Please don't feel compelled now to tell me the story of the boy who cried Worf." - Q

David M

“Captain, I have been inspecting the egg for the last twenty years. You may lay it when ready.” - The superlative Dr. Stubbs.

mrxak

Forget honorable mention. Legendary mention.

JGoss

Exactly. I'm offended this one is not on the list

Andreas Schmitt

Honorable Mention: "That will be the day."

Shawn Indigo

"Lets make sure history never forgets the name, Enterprise." - Picard

GalacticGod

Honorable mention: “You’re in my way.” -Shelby, BOBW

Column Meanie

Ooo tough call between the first two. "I've been tutoring him" is LOL funny but "Mr. Worf, fire" is dramatic and pivotal to the development of the series.

Dan Halstead

An honorable mention: "What are your intentions with my Daughter?" - Data

Paul

PICARD: "Look, I don't wish to appear rude, but I am not seeking jamaharon. "

Narnman

Or your name is Barclay ....

J Potter

My fave too

Darren Seal

As I say above where it's mentioned, I came to vote for that line. I can't in good conscience vote for any of the ones above.

John

“On the starship Enterprise, no one is alone…until we leave you alone in your quarters for hours on end” 😂

Column Meanie

This line is the one I came to vote for.

John

Oof

Column Meanie

“I’m just an android” was considered for Data

Josh (Target Audience)

I would've picked "Thank you for my life", but "Mr. Worf, fire!" is the one that's always repeated. And though I still wouldn't have pick it, another notable entry could've/should've been is "I'm just an android".

startrekiborg

Good tea ... nice house

JHVJ

His quote from the Bonding hit us a bit more, but I understand that one is a fan favorite

Josh (Target Audience)

Wild that this one didn't get nominated. Legendary moment / line.

Forbidden Donut

In Booby Trap, in the transporter room scene where they’re discussing ships in a bottle, Worf’s line “I never played with boys”.

Lwaxana’s Poolboy

"on the starship enterprise no one is alone" underrated. iconic. thematic. The very moment the show switched to s3 storytelling (maybe not technically but in your hearts you know it to be true)

llama

"Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise." - Alternate Picard

James Knight

This one is really tough, guys. More lines deserve to be on this list. However, if I had to pick an Honorable Mention, it would be Picard's response to Admiral Haftel: "Order a man to hand his child over to the state? Not while I'm his captain."

dkenobi

Then send in your own probe, Goss!

Andrew Buel

I shall try some of your burned replicated bird meat

SinocTheHodgeheg

Thank you for going for the dramatic and the profound rather than the pithy and the throwaway. Picard channeling his swashbuckler to intone, "Let's make sure that history never forgets the name ... Enterprise." is a series, nay, a franchise, defining. But of these choices, Lal takes it, with such a simple, pure statement. I gotta tell ya, her line hits SO MUCH harder on this 50yr old grandfather than it did on that stupid small-town kid so long ago.

J Potter

That was second choice for Worf, but it was close

Josh (Target Audience)

Go ahead

Josh (Target Audience)

This!

Jess Thomas

One worlds butcher is another world’s hero. Perhaps I am neither one. - Admiral Jerok

Steve Krautkramer

"Eat any good books lately" is one of the top 5 lines in the history of television.

Shane Coombs

Honorable mention: They let you escape with an arsenal of worthless secrets. - Picard to Admiral Jerok

Steve Krautkramer

Die -Worf, in response to Q

misqellaneous

Other" "Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise. ...

Stephen Wright

"And then, I just slapped him" - Beverly channeling every S1 & S2 viewer's best fantasy

Paul Hess

Just reading Lal's line made me kinda 🥹

Daniel Garrett

I'm sorry to be the Lal stan-girl but come on, we have to recognise that line.

Mara

Can I mention a line from the S3 blooper reel?

Lwaxana’s Poolboy

Let's make sure that history never forgets the name Enterprise.

Joshua Langweil

"Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?"

Evan Guthrie

Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise.

Screaming Frog

What, no “Good tea. Nice house.” ??

Carl Williams
