Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Thursdays on Paramount+Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Quotes
This sucks. I hate funerals. But if Hemmer was here, he would remind us that this is a celebration. Exalt the fallen and commit them to the cosmos. Then he would've scolded me for pushing the engines too hard. And I would've called him a blue meanie. Then we'd laugh. And it wouldn't have felt like a funeral. Best engineer I have ever served with.

Spock: At the time of transmission, the Peregrine was making an unscheduled emergency landing on a Class L planet, Valeo Beta 5.
M'Benga: Are emergency landings ever scheduled?
Pike: Saved you a plate.
La'an: No thanks. I'm not hungry.
Una: You're going to want to try the omelet. And the bacon.
M'Benga: And the waffle.
Una: You sure you want to split up the crew?
Pike: It'll be fine, Number One. You get the supplies to K-7. I'll pile the kids in the station wagon, take a road trip.
Spock: Sir? The station wagon?
Pike: Anybody has to go, now's the time. Do not make me turn this car around.
I never told Hemmer but he reminded me a lot of my dad. Always pushing me to see things from a new perspective, do better, be better. Losing Hemmer hurts. The people you love the most can cause you the most pain, but it's the people you love that can mend your heart when you feel broken. That's what Hemmer's purpose was -- to fix what is broken. And he did.
Uhura
Duke: The anomalies. Is that what's killing our coms?
Spock: Negative, ensign. It is the ionic interference that prevents long-range communication.
Kirk: Drink. You owe him a drink, Spock.
Chapel: Duke's a lieutenant now. Call him an ensign, you gotta buy him a drink. Starfleet tradition.
Spock: Another human drinking game. Does their number have no limit?
Kirk: Nope.
Pike: What's he saying?
La'an: The universal translator isn't processing it. Uhura, do something.
Uhura: That's not how linguistics works!
It is better to leave than to be the one left behind. But that's wrong. You create bonds. It's a gift. Of course, the people you care about are going to cause you pain. It will hurt. But the love it yields will far outweigh the sorrow.
Hemmer
Chapel: I understand that Vulcans have a strong, hidden primal nature. I bet you're a tempest when you're angry.
Spock: It is true that without proper mindfulness Vulcan emotion is dangerous. We use logic to not succumb to anger.
Chapel: It's good to get mad sometimes.
My brother died like your friend. The Gorn got him. I know what it feels like to watch them hurt the people you love. You feel alone. Nobody understands the pain. But look at me now. These people I came with? My job is to keep them safe. And this crew? I believe we can do anything. Even defeat the Gorn. Ariana, trust me. There's surviving. And then there's living.
La'an
I've rotated through almost every department. So many amazing, talented people. The top every one of everything. They all know why they belong in Starfleet. For them, Starfleet has always been the destination. For me, it was where I ran to after the loss of my parents. Serving aboard Enterprise is an affirmation of this entire crew's hopes and dreams. I envy their assurity. But me? I guess I'm still searching.
Uhura
M’Benga: Hemmer, do you think you could make contact with this entity again?
Hemmer: Contact with it is unpleasant. That’s why I blocked it. It felt as though my brain were being squeezed through my nose.
Ortegas/Adya: I did that to a man once.
