I worked hard at imitating the Leonard Nimoy Spock’s raised eyebrow for quite a while. I don’t regret the time spent practicing that in front of a mirror. I never mastered a fully raised eyebrow, but I can do a slight eyebrow raise.
Whenever someone is being greedy or acting a fool, I say, “hoo-man,” in a bad Ferengi accent.
Jean-Luc Picard’s “make it so” is a go to phrase for me.
My first sip of coffee for the day is always my Janeway moment.
When someone says something far fetched, I say “really.” I think I’m channeling Benjamin Sisko. No one else sees it that way.
I say “p’takh” a bit too often. Not to anyone who understands Klingon. Not yet, anyway.
Any Star Trek mannerism or phrase you’ve incorporated into your life?
Two Spock quotes that have become ingrained:
“I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose.”
- TOS: “The Squire of Gothos”
“I do not approve. I understand.”
- TOS: “A Taste of Armageddon”
