How many "He's dead, Jim"s have you heard during the Star Trek marathon?

[Bossy Monkey]

I've only heard one, but I don't guess I'm really paying that close attention. Would make for a very staid drinking game, I guess. (SciFi Channel is running a Star Trek marathon 9 or 10 to 4 every day this week. As far as I knnow, they didn't promote it at all. Go figure.)

I still don't understand why "He's dead, Jim" isn't chiseled into DeForest Kelley's tombstone. (ducking, running away)

1. thanks for the tip

watching it now.. some of the special effects are really dated looking

[Bossy Monkey]

8. Sorry I didn't mention it earlier

It took me a while to be sure that they were running it all week, but I probably should have figured it out before Thursday:)

[Chovexani]

10. Yeah, they sure are dated

That's why they had to focus on STORIES instead. What a concept!

Fucking Rick Berman.

(sorry, that wasn't directed at you, I'm just a very bitter Trek fan)

2. Actually, his epitaph should be...

"I'm dead, Jim."

alternately:

"Dammit, Jim, I'm a corpse, not a doctor!"

(hides in shame)

3. "He's worse than dead, Jim..."

"...his brain is gone."

I can't remember the episode (or maybe movie?) I heard it in, but I do recall my brother and I laughing. Worse than dead??

4. Spock's Brain

is the episode.

5. My favorite episode, for sheer comic value, is "The Way To Eden"

With Charles Napier and his merry band of hippies who jam with Spock on the Vulcan harp.

"This planet's filled with acid!" :D

6. "You there...

what planet is this?" From one of my favorites, the episode with Joan Collins.

7. Hey! whaddaya call those things?

I call them ears.

[Ilsa]

9. Combine drinking to that phrase with

drinking to Spock or Kirk or McCoy using the word "logical" and it turns into a drunk-fest.

[Chovexani]

11. Or if you want to get slashy about it

Every time Kirk smiles warmly at Spock.

[Bossy Monkey]

12. Or every time Shatner pronounces 'woman' as 'wooman'

Anybody know if this was the normal pronunciation before 1970, or some weird Canadian thing or something?

[jpgray]

13. Okay, landing party is Bones, Spock, Sulu, myself and Security Temp Neil

:D

[Chovexani]

16. RIP

14. My husband's name is Jim and he hears it all the time.

He's really sick of it.

[AmyDeLune]

15. Actually...

if I remember correctly, DeForest Kelley really did say "He's Dead Jim" should be on his tombstone when cast members were being asked what epitaph should be on their headstones. ;)

[Bossy Monkey]

17. Ding ding ding! Where's my Jim Beam bottle?

He said another one; less emphatic than usual, but it still counts

[Krasnaya Lastochka]

18. more redshirt nonsense

I must confess that my friends and I (all ardent Trekkies) nearly made a spoof-Star Trek movie called "The Curse of Ensign Redshirt", but we had so much fun making our characters into spoofs of the original cast (I played "Svetlana Ivanova", basically a female version of Pavel Chekov, the poster boy of Russian nationalism...it was so much fun.) that we never really got around to filming it.

BTW does anybody else remember that line from "The Trouble with Tribbles" where Chekov claims that scotch was invented by a "little old lady from Leningrad"??? That was our favorite inside joke.

[Bossy Monkey]

20. Ironically, "The Trouble with Tribbles" came on 1 minute after you posted

You have the power! :)

[Krasnaya Lastochka]

22. Wow!

So there is order in the universe after all...

[Gothic Sponge]

19. I hate watching Trek on the sci-fi channel.

They cut the episodes to death. I'm gonna try to buy the new DVD boxsets. 100 bucks each! :thumbsdown:

21. You know you're getting old when ...

a student came into my library wanting something very difficult to get, and he needed it that same day. I looked at him and in my best Scotty voice said, "I'm a librarrrrrian, not a mirrrrracle worker!"

He stared at me blankly.

*sigh*
