"It's easy! What could go wrong?"

[taksraven]

"But it's a dry heat!"

[Vile]

"Sir, if we don't tech the tech, the ship will explode!"

"What if we tech at a polarity of tech instead. Won't that tech?"

"I'm on it!"

on that note, I hate needless sci-fying words... "hydro-spanner". Really? In the future you can't just say "hose" anymore?

Especially when the resolution of a whole episode depends on the technobabble. Thats one of the reason why I liked a lot of the "Q" episodes, 'cause technobabble and wanky technical tricks had no effect on him.

2. "We don't have to make love. We could talk. We need to talk."

3. "That little whore makes me feel nine feet tall!"
