Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 7: "The Serene Squall" Quotes
Chapel: Earth to Spock!
Spock: I am sorry. I am distracted.
Chapel: Also, a master of understatement.
Reconciling my divergent cultures of origin is complex. The journey is challenging.
Spock
Spock, do you know why it’s fun to be friends with Vulcans? Because Vulcans are honest. Don’t try to be smarter than the truth. That’s what got you in trouble last time.
Chapel
Dr. Aspen: I see why Starfleet calls you their boy scout.
Pike: They do not call me that.
Una: Chris, it’s actually in your file.
Dr. Aspen: I never got kolinahr. You naturally have emotions, so why erase them?
Spock: Kolinahr offers clarity, an ability to see oneself without bias. I very much look forward to mine.
Pike: Yellow alert. Erica, take us closer please.
Ortegas: How close do you want to get? First date or third date?
Pike: Blind date.
Ortegas: Copy. Proceeding with caution, sir.
Ortegas: Looks like a net. Except, y’know, made of lasers.
Spock: It’s formed by multiple asteroids equipped with high-energy electromagnetic reflectors. Recommend we do not cross one of the beams.
Pike: What happens if we do?
Spock: At best, it will shut down the ship.
Pike: And, at worst?
Ortegas: Kaboom?
Spock: Indeed.
Ortegas: We should avoid the laser net.
Spock: Captain Pike is comfortable operating off of hunches. I found the experience to be disturbingly similar to guessing.
Aspen: What’s wrong with guessing?
Spock: They are derived from incomplete premises. It is illogical.
Aspen: Says you.
Spock: Says all Vulcans.
Aspen: Aren’t you half Human?
Spock: That is merely genetics. I was raised on Vulcan.
Aspen: And that’s geography.
Pike: Steering without mapping, I realize is no easy task. Ensign Chu can relieve you if you need a minute.
Ortegas: Actually, I enjoy flying manually. Feels like the ship and I are in a deep conversation. Y’know. Like a third date.
Chapel: Where is the real Dr. Aspen now?
Angel: Probably still wandering around the uninhabited planet I dumped them on. What? It’s not like I killed them.
Chapel: Where are the colonists?
Angel: Oh, them? Imaginary. I made them up. I told a nice little story that I knew would bring you out here and you believed me. Frankly, that’s on you.
My friend, let me tell you something that from those rock-hard eyes of yours I think you know. Love is the only thing that makes the cold and loneliness of space bearable.
Angel
