Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 7: "Those Old Scientists" Quotes
Guys, a broken portal is just a tunnel.
Mariner
Rutherford: I love scanning new things for my collection. Radiation’s a super useful form of energy!
Rutherford & Tendi: [high-fiving] Ha ha! Science!
Mariner: Oh, the bar to excite you guys could not be lower.
Rutherford: Pretty great, huh?
You guys look… very realistic.
Boimler
Una:Mr. Spock ran an analysis of this delta. It’s not just a badge, it’s also a communicator. You just press right here.
Pike: But flipping it open’s the best part.
Una: I like ours better too.
La’an: Look, I recognize that this future knowledge is so boring the chances of it changing history are low, but let’s review temporal protocols regardless, okay? One, no interfering with past events.
Boimler: Got it.
La’an: Two, no …
Boimler: …sharing knowledge of the future.
La’an: Yes.
Boimler: Definitely won’t happen again. Worf’s honor. Dang it.
La’an: Last, perhaps most important. Don’t make any attachments.
Boimler: Uh, I’m actually not familiar with that one. Is that a recent addition?
La’an: It’s advice from personal experience.
A small change here, we won’t feel anything. Yet, it could destroy your future. Your friends, loved ones.
La’an
Pike: He was so excited to see me, that for a second, it felt like my future wasn’t so bad.
Una: I get that, Chris.
Pike: But then he goes and alters time and I feel like I’m trying to stop a toddler from knocking over the furniture.
Ortegas: Hey, what’s the future like? Do you have jet packs or what?
Chapel: We have jet packs now.
Ortegas: I know, but, like, smaller jet packs.
Una: We sure this is wise?
Pike: No, but I’m going with it.
Boimler: Sir, there has to be a peaceful solution. And I know diplomacy is one of your many, many strengths. That and patience, forgiveness, benevolence… really great hair?
Pike: Hail the Orions.
Captain’s log, supplemental. Our problems seemed to have doubled. We started our day with one time traveler and now we have two. Which is,,, a lot.
Pike
Boimler: Can you imagine what it must’ve been like to be with those old scientists? I mean, this is as close as we’ll get to Spock or Numero Una.
Mariner: Don’t call her that. No one called her that.
