the Bajoran version of the Bechdel test is “do two named women talk to each other about something other than murder” and I love “Deep Space Nine” because it fails almost every episode

Star Trek, Voyager, S1 E10

I would have so restricted myself to the replicator if I was on Voyager with Neelix.

Neelix and 2 other crewmembers are analysing an unexplored planet. Neelix is looking at some plants and says that "with a few hours of cooking in a broth..."

Chakotay is reporting back to Voyager about their findings. He says the only fauna they found were some bloodworms.

and that Neelix wants to gather some of these bloodworms for a tartar.

Picard leaves his room carefully looking at the hallway for threats.

And then he hears the dreaded voice of Lwaxanna "Jean-Luc, you delicious man!"

Lwaxana appears with a big smile: "You were just thinking of me". Which is correct, PIcard was thinking of her, but not in a positive manner.

Picard continues: "As free as a mountain bird"

While a bemused Data listens: "His energetic fist should be ready to resist"

Worf with a WTF look on his face. Picard insists: "Sing, Worf, sing!!!"

Star Trek, The Next Generation, S5 E26

Data has ended up in a 19th century US town, and still in Starfleet uniform. He tells a hotel bellboy that he's a Frenchman hoping to explain his appearance.

Bellboy says nationality doesn't matter, we're not racist or something. A room costs 6 bits a day or 4 dollars a week.

"Well" replies the bellboy "this actually DOES matter here in America"

Mariner just told Q that she's not French, and if Q wants French he should seek Picard. Q replies "Picard is not fun! Always quoting Shakespeare, always making wine". Q forgot to mention the saddle or the flute.

Guy buys a Thunderbird 3 model in an auction, finds out it's a life size model actually. Why does this sort of thing never happen to me? I wish I ordered an NCC-1701D model and ended up with life size one by mistake.

Why is there a lifesize Thunderbirds model at Humberside Airport?

The Thunderbird 3 model is parked at Humberside Airport after it was bought several years ago.
