I can't remember what the first two were in relation to, so pardon me if I think
they were not memorable.
The last was a self-parodying line that got laughs but cheapened the whole.
Played to the Trekkies rather than it's own internal value. It's a line I'd
write for a Star Trek game, but not for a movie.

It was merely okay. Nothing special - it was a better way to go out than the
abysmal V, but keeping the geriatric crew together at this point didn't make the
slightest ounce of sense (it's sad that fictional characters have to age along
with their actors, but there it is). It was past time to let go (or recast
everyone). I don't think I could survive another Grandma Fan Dance.

I'd call it "Black Forest" each other. And kudos to those who know I'm refering
to something you can find at the meat department of your local grocery store,
and not at a lumber yard. ;-)
