What are the words you don't want to hear in a sci-fi show?

[taksraven]

I dunno...I'm not a big Star Trek fan (I've probably seen about five or six episodes total of the original show, when I was a kid; I've seen Star Trek II, III, and IV, one time for each; and I saw about four episodes of The Next Generation)...but I'm guessing that since Kirk's first name is "James," McCoy's probably isn't.

Am I right?

Thank you squire....

Well, as Daniel Radcliffe said in The Lord of the Rings Episode 1: The Ring's Fellows, "Elementary, my dear Anakin."

You are. If I remember correctly his name is Leonard.

[Wanzerfan]

Okay, so I screwed up his name, so I fixed it by using his nickname.

[VenomMacbeth]

"Beefaroni."

"Beefaghetti."

"Beefaroni."

"Beeeefaghetti."

"Beefaroni!"

"Beefaghett!!"

"BEEFARONI!!"

"BEEFAGETTI!!!"

"BEEFARONI!!!!!"

You are forgiven, youngling, let us never blaspheme against the Sacred Trek again.......

Imagine sending out an open challenge to all of Hollywood's producers/directors/screenwriters. "Right guys, try to make all movies released in 2011 without using the above quoted plot device...."

"can you zoom in on that?" followed by a flurry of typing and then a low res security camera picture suddenly resolves into a crystal clear blow up of suspect, item, whatever.

close, but if that were really CSI, they would have made a 3D holographic computer model of the assailant and gotten an exact match on his face, even though it's obscured by his hand.

ROTFLMAO You gotta love Jerry Springer. M.J Eat your heart out

The other one I hate is... Can you break their security ? followed by 3 seconds of key clicking and they are in past the worlds most secure network etc, and all the files are laid out as follows:-

Really_secret.doc file size 20GB downloads in 3 seconds.

Plans_to_take_over_the_ world.pdf has pretty animations even though they file type dosent support them.

As I work in I.T this particularly pisses me off. So many people think my job is so easy. Especially the guys in Accounts who after completely killing the data base file system cant understand why it takes 2 days to put right, when on CSI or what ever takes 2 mins.

You should ask for a BJ and a gun pointed at your face while on the job. Works in "Password: Swordfish".

That's a Maury qoute, not Springer.

Trying to bullshit security...

"Everything's fine, we're all fine..."

Are you kidding? That was a GREAT line.

[big F]

Yeah one of the best. I remember hearing or reading that that was ad-lib and they kept it as it was better than what they were gonna put in.

Wanzer thanks for the correction

[Gubaba]

Admittedly, Harrison Ford's delivery of the line is what makes that line great...that small beat before he says "How are you?" was brilliant timing.

Ha! LOL - "there's your man . . ." ("now we just have to find him") . . .

Intimate knowledge just kills suspension of disbelief, doesn't it? I totally enjoyed "Independence Day" until Jeff Goldblum writes a virus for an extraterrestrial computer network on his Mac. Who knew Apple stumbled upon the universal standard architecture? Or maybe they're all aliens too...

(Although, the director's cut adds a scene where it's implied that the character figures out the invader's network by examining the computers on the captured fighter. Damn, he's a genius.)

Well, that's what happens when a scriptwriter hits on an allegedly "clever" thought, like "Hey, in War of the Worlds, the aliens were killed by a virus, right? But these days, all the "hackers" on the "electronic bulletin boards" are talking about COMPUTER viruses! And that gives me AN IDEA!!!!"
