Watching a Star Trek movie, one of the Captain Picard ones, called Insurrection. Not one of the great Star Trek movies, because although I like Patrick Stewart, the other characters seem a bit diffuse. The storyline is very basic and a bit daft, and it's all like a New Age wet dream really, with a peaceful tribe of eternal-youth possessing hippies facing forceful relocation by nefarious villains. The dialogue has some gems though:
"The metaphasic radiation of the rings is in a state of flux"
"Send them a wide-band co-variance signal"
"A tachion burst may force him to reset his shield harmonizers"
"There was an error in his positronic phase matrix that we were unable to repair"
All these in the first ten minutes! Imagine being paid to write this stuff - wicked! Still, they don't beat my favourite of all time:
"Dammit, Jim! I can't seem to stop the heterocyclic declination!" (Dr McCoy, trying to fix someone's heart-attack).
