Galaxy Quest

I watched Galaxy Quest without knowing what to expect. All I knew was that it is somehow related to Star Trek. Having missed the whole Star Trek phase by half a generation, I was unsure if I would like it much or not. But this turned out to be one of the better movies I've seen for a while.

The movie is a downright hilarious parody on Star Trek. I thought it was quite similar to h2g2 in the sense that they are both space related parodies. The plot itself is quite interesting in itself, full of puns and jokes, and to top it all has some pretty decent acting.

Highly recommended to anyone even remotely interested in sci-fi.

There is no "quantum flux". There's no "auxiliary". THERE'S NO GODDAMNED SHIP. You got it?

This is great. Usually it's just cardboard walls in a garage.

Jason, we are actors, not astronauts.

Which way, Alexander?
This way... Wait, nah... That way.
You were holding it upside down!

I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here.

We heard it the first time.
Gosh, I'm doing it. I'm repeating the darn computer.

You know, that is really getting annoying.
Look, I have one job on this lousy ship. Its stupid, but I'm going to do it! OKAY?
Sure, no problem.

Did you guys ever WATCH the show?

Hey guys, there's a red-thingy moving toward the green-thingy.
What?
Red-thingy moving toward the green-thingy. I think we're the green-thingy.

What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here? Well forget it, I'm not doing it, this episode was badly written.

Whoever wrote this episode should DIE.

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.

Never give up, never surrender.
