just recently saw, for the first time, the episode "Datalore" in which our man
Picard and crew find Lore. our favourite Picard line in this one: "Shut up,
Wesley." other Picard quotes of note? (could give us something to talk about
during this painful hiatus).

-stubby, sandy, rick, and Chip.

ps. our favourite Geordi quote: "Captain, i'm picking up a bogie coming in on
a 5 o'clock tangent." (why the hell is he talking like this???)

pps. hi Erin!

I think the "Shut up wesley" comes up a fair bit in the first couple of
seasons. Then again, it could be me or my friends saying it out loud
ourselves...

SH_T!!!!!! If my cranial hard-drive didn't crash I could prob'ly think of
some good quotes. Usually I laugh the hardest when Worf says something out
of character. (When he makes captain, he'll beahead of JLP and the rest of
the Bald Sexy Captains on "the list". Well...maybe the Balding-sexy cpts
list.) ^^^^^^^

In the earlier episodes, JLP was quite a bit more crusty. In the
episode in which the Ferengi are first encountered, the Enterprise is
caught in a tractor beam from the planet's surface. The ship is
loosing power, and it is getting colder:

Dr. Crusher to JLP: "I wanted to give Wesely a sedative."

JLP: "It's good you didn't. He has the right to meet death awake."

Crusher: "Is that some sort of male perspective?"

JLP (after a pause, looking and walking away): "Rubbish"

Very earthy. The venier of the "super polite, politically correct,
diplomatically astute" captain is pulled back for just a minute, and
we get a peek at what's underneath - the hard driving, fearless, and
undoubtably ambitious, career military officer.

I think the funniest quote (although, its not a J.L) is

when Riker goes "SHUT UP! as in CLOSE YOUR MOUTH and STOP TALKING"


almost wet my pants on that!

Yes, Wesley's squealing can put one out of the mood.

A quote that never did appear on the show, but *should* have:

Worf saying, "Klingons don't like honey."

But this is a Picard newsgroup. One I liked at the time; Data is
saying something hopelessly trivial:

JLP: "Data."
Data: "Yes, Captain?"
JLP: "Later."
Data "Yes, Captain."

My favorite was silent. They were in the holodeck in one of Picard's mystery
settings. The doctor needed more light. Data picks up a lamp and moves it
across the room. Halfway there the plug gets pulled from the wall. Data
stops and stares at the light, puzzled.

Picard grabs the plug, walks across the room, and plugs it in (unbeknownst
to Data who is still staring at the light). The light comes on, Data shrugs
and continues on his way.

A comical scene.

My favorite JLP quote came from the episode where the young engineering
trainee (i think) falls in love with Data.

JLP: Data, I understand you are looking for advice on the understanding of
women. (or something like that)
Data: Yes, captain.
JLP: Well, I'd be happy to help...as soon as I have any (understanding).
