What was the nature of the Enterprise's five year mission?

I’ll still go with Tony Shaloub’s “That’s a hell of a thing”.

For myself, I’d actually pick:

Gwen DeMarco: Let’s get out of here before one of those things kills Guy.

Or anything by Sigourney Weaver. But there are so many great lines and excellent performances it is tough to pick a favorite.

“I know! You construct a weapon. Look around, can you form some sort of rudimentary lathe?”

“I see you managed to get your shirt ripped off…” :mad:

"This episode was badly written!"

If you look very carefully after the shuttle lands, Shaloub actually yawns as he steps out onto the alien world. He is the first human being to set foot on another planet, and he’s bored.

Well, stoned anyway.

Fred Kwan: Hey guys, I just wanted you to know that, the reactors won’t take it. The ship is breaking apart and all that. Just FYI.

By Grabthar’s hammer… what a savings.

Fanwank: Adjusting to the difference in pressure between the shuttle and the planet.

… Or the planet’s atmosphere has a high CO2 content.

I like it better to think that he’s just that blase and laid-back. It’s funnier that way, and Galaxy Quest is all about the funny!
