the dumbest thing I've heard was "Your vessel is responsible for a disaster in my century, a temporal explosion that will destroy all of Earth's solar system. I've come back in time to prevent that occurrence. My mission is your destruction. You must not resist! from Star Trek: Voyager

t's like home to you came to visit Hannibal Lecter and said to you, "my mision is quartered your body and consuming it. You must not resist. Gentleman and Ladies please!

Everything ever said by Tim Watters (ST: DS9). http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Tim_Watters

...He wasn't that bright, though. Sadly, he was the "captain" (sort of.. but not really) (If you have no idea what the hail i'm talking about, it was only one episode. long story short "elite" (if you could call them that) group of Startfleet cadets get a fancy fighter-ship prototype for a planned training run. they find out an enemy ship is near the area and get cocky and decide to chase down an enemy ship 1000x their size DESPITE continued efforts from higher-ranking people back at base not to. You can guess the results from there. (HINT: In star trek, there's no Death Star-like weak spot to help you.) I could be wrong but that's vaguely how I remember it)

Red squad! Red squad! RED SQUAD!

I remember that episode, when Nog and Jake Sisko, in fact Nog as real starfleet officer could call them to go to base, but he not do this, because is better not to mess with indoctrinated psychos wannabe starfleet captains :D

For me it had to be Independence Day.

You have a civilization that's capable of traveling interstellar distances, but they have shields!?! Who'd have thunk it?

And the alien computer hacking bit was pretty silly too.

As an example, in one episode of Scorpion they reanimated someone with a starter cable and a car battery. This is one of the most stupid things i ever saw in a TV show. And this show is supposed to be about geniuses.

There's a lot of them to be found in Scorpion. How about this one? I think the still frame at the beginning of the video really says it all

This is actually almost always completely wrong. A heart that has stopped is not shocked back to work. The DE-fibrilator has its name for a reason, it stops fibrillations of an arhythmic heart - and this does not mean that it gives the heart back a rhythm it is no longer has any at all!

The original version of V. The alien leader woman has been challenged to a duel to the death. But she's not scared, because "I've never been beaten in mortal combat!"

That was around 30 years ago, and I still think it's just about the single stupidest line of dialog I have ever heard.

Going back to pick on Star Trek....on DS:9, there was an episode [ETA: Episode 115, "Progress"] where Kira has to convince some settlers of a partially terraformed planet in the Bajoran system that they have to leave because the planet's surface will be rendered uninhabitable when they tap into its core for power production. Most of that part of the episode deals with Kira's struggle to convince them to leave when she is deeply sympathetic to their plight. However, at one point it is mentioned that they have to leave because it would take up to a year for them to tap into the core in a way that wouldn't destroy all life on the surface.

So, they're destroying the entire biosphere of a planet because they don't want to delay for a single stinking year. And it's presented like it's self-evident and entirely correct that a delay of a single year would be too much. I'm not even anywhere near what you would call an environmentalist, and even I think that's freaking ridiculous.

He's a man who just watched everything he ever knew get destroyed it's not stupid, he did what anyone else would have done in that same circumstances.

And seriously you chose that? On a show with Neelix you couldn't find something even stupider?

"Only Storm Troopers can be so accurate".

Seriously? Storm Troopers being that accurate?

Well, there was only one instance of them not hitting their target, they did pretty well assaulting the tantive 4, Echo base and battle of endor. So yeah I'd say you're wrong.

What about the scenes where they're shooting at the main cast? The Tantive IV was shot by a star destroyer, and they had Vader to help onboard, not to mention that you could argue the rebel soldiers are WORSE. We didn't actually see much of the Battle of Hoth besides the events occurring to the main cast, and at Endor, they got defeated by Ewoks. They're terrible. Most of them aren't even the 501st anymore, which could be an in-universe explanation.

Besides, a soldier is a good shot if he's a good shot, not when he's shooting at some random thing which isn't a main character.

You mean the scene on the Death star where they allowed them to escape? The death star had a crew of nearly a million if they didn't want them to escape they wouldn't have escaped.

As for endor I can't find an exact number but going by the emperors words there most likely was 6000 troops or so on the moon. The ewoks won that battle for four reasons. They had good intel, the movie makes it clear they were scouting the imperials for sometime.

They prepared and planned, unless of course you think that 50LB creatures can set up complex log traps in 24 hours they most likely were planning on fighting sometime.

They knew the terrain. They were fighting on their home soil The viet cong proved what that can do in vietnam.

And finally it was their home soil, they outnumbered the imperials. The most advanced weapons and armor is only going to allow you to do so much, eventually you're going to go down to a zerg rush.

We never do find out what the casualties are for the battle but given what little we saw in the movie the ewoks were taking losses.

Of course if lucas would have just used wookies suspension of disbelief would be allot less.

Besides, a soldier is a good shot if he's a good shot, not when he's shooting at some random thing which isn't a main character.

I'm handling this point separately, first off that's not how it works, a solider has to put allot of time into practicing even then being a good shot means squat once you get into a combat situation, it doesn't prepare you for the chaos of a battlefield and contrary to what COD would have you believe 70% of all shots fired in combat miss.

Scorpion isn't bad in terms of characters and "non-action" scenes, but some of the "action" scenes are ridiculous.

That one where the plane can't land because of a software glitch but can STILL HOVER TEN FEET OVER THE RUNWAY just made me go all
