Star Trek: Picard
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Picard Quotes
Y’know, it wasn’t until this moment, reunited with all of you, I realized what I missed most. The carpet.
Picard: Computer, initiate system reactivation procedures.
Computer: Authorization acknowledged. USS Enterprise now under command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Picard: Well, I hereby accept the field demotion.
Troi: You’ve changed. I can feel it.
Riker: In the nebula, I came face to face with bleakness.
Troi: Though your beard has gone from brown to gray to blood red. The face of an old man who can still take a punch. Almost.
Riker: I’ve missed you, imzadi.
Troi: Imza…I should’ve taught you another word. Yintoru?
Riker: Yintoru. What does that mean?
Troi: Baby of immense size.
Shaw: You should’ve blown the turbolift.
Seven: But I didn’t. And I’d make the same decision again. I draw the line at trading lives.
Shaw: You are a Starfleet officer. You don’t have the luxury to only make choice that feel hunky-dory. Everything has consequences.
Let’s be clear then, shall we? I am not a changeling. I have never changed into or from anything. I am who I am. A talker. Not sleight of hand, but sleight of word. All just to distract from this, this, this feeling that I have … I’ve always been different.
Jack
Vadic: Tell me about someone who loves you.
Mura: My son.
Vadic: A son. Picard has a son. Why don’t you tell him to come up here?
Mura: I can’t. Because I’m Starfleet.
Vadic: Now you see what control looks like?
Jack: I’ll say this, you don’t spend a lifetime practicing the art of charismatic deflection because you want to invite people in.
Troi: Well, as a counselor, I would normally wait for you to seek me out but I think we can both agree that the quickest path to the truth is what everyone needs right now.
Seven: Get off my bridge.
Vadic: Oh, fucking solids.
I have slaughtered countless enemies over the years and considered sending their heads to all of you, but I was advised that that was… passive-aggressive.
Worf
Lore: Tell me. Why are you giving me these things?
Data: Because you have had nothing while I have had everything.
Oh, Jack Crusher, what’s it like? Roaming from planet to planet, species to species, but never able to outrun that awful, constant shadow of isolation, loneliness. A life in service to others, a calling. Or was it guilt? Did you always know deep deep down what you are?
Vadic
