I agree with Louis – you could easily make this a top 10 or 20. Happy to have discovered your blog through the Problogger forum.

In my house, we often speak “Yoda” because we’re geeky like that.

Growing up I watched Darren McGavin search for the truth long before Mulder and Scully in my favorite TV-show of all time Kolchak: The Nightstalker. Albeit not exactly sc-fi in nature or having any pop culture quotes it did have an awesome writing team and many memorable lines ….

Kolchak: Judge for yourself its believability, and then try to tell yourself, wherever you may be, it couldn’t happen here.

Kolchak: Exactly what don’t you like about this hat?
Vincenzo: What’s under it.

Kolchak: F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, “The rich are different than you and me.” They sure are. They got more money.

Great list post. Thanks for sharing the memories.

I think ” I’m a Doctor Jim not a ___” should be #1. The top 5 could probably very easily be just from Star Trek. Although Dr. Smith had some great lines in Lost in Space.

My favorite is definitely the X-Files “Truth is out there” quote…which is what I watched when I was growing up. Asta Lavista Baby from Terminator is definitely one close to the top 10. Great list you put together!

Saw this from ProBlogger forum, and being a part geek I had to check this out.

I gotta agree with John… what happened to all the star trek shit? It’s missing! You need to make this list post top 10 and include some key ones that you’re missing.

Well done, fellow ProBlogger !

I like the speech bubble too.

One of the very first sci-fi novels I read was called “Bow down to Nul” and it had a drawing of a robot standing over a quivering human. So I use that phrase once in a while, when technology seems to have the upper hand.

Cheers !

Not much of a sci-fi maven, but I use “That’s not the Jedi way” several times a month.

I also think “Phasers on stun” or “Shields up” when I send out a draft for review, but it doesn’t really fit so I suppress the thought with a “Kirk out.”
