 * Not an objection but I can't see what's particularly "special" about it if you see what I mean. -- The NCC Factor Talk 21:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * I'm not a fan of a dialogue being nominated as a quote. Personally a quote should be one line (or a couple lines back to back) spoken by one character.  Just my opinion.  Your mileage may vary.  -- 11:10, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There is not enough information (ie... Episode Plot) in the episode article to really have a quote, I bet this one is only a placeholder 17:36, 11 June 2007 (MDT)

My job?
"My job? Oh, that’s right, I remember now. That’s what I was doing on the bridge of the Tempest during the war. I was standing knee deep in bodies, surrounded by burning starships on the Bolian Front while Enterprise was playing diplomatic courier and flitting about on archeological surveys. I hope your uniform didn’t get too dirty hauling shovels around the dig sites for your captain."

- Commander Liana Ramirez to Commander Will Riker, discussing the flagship's non-participation in much of the Dominion War. (Star Trek: Gibraltar- Prophets and Loss)

 * Powerful quote, and very well-written. --usscantabrian 06:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Not an objection but just a comment. It seems a bit long for a quote of the month. --Logan MacLeod 01:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Could it be shortened? Take out "My job? Oh that's right, I remember now. That's what I was doing on the bridge of the Tempest during the war," so it reads, "I was standing knee deep in bodies, surrounded by burning starships on the Bolian Front while Enterprise was playing diplomatic courier and flitting about on archeological surveys.  I hope your uniform didn't get too dirty hauling shovels around the dig sites for your captain." My thoughts anyway. --usscantabrian 22:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I Believe this quote rivals McCoy's quote about Genesis.... or even Gul Dukat's declaration of Cardassia joining the Dominion. 17:03, 11 June 2007 (MDT)
 * No, it doesn't. That's just your ego talking. -- 05:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ego... it is the juice of leaders who want a better plan. --> Wi2K  [[Image:Stc_CinC.png|75px|B1 - Commander-in-Chief]] - Crossover Information - STC - Talk 01:15, 23 June 2007 (UTC)


 * With a bit of work, it could be good, but I don't see it as a quote of the month to be honest. --usscantabrian 22:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

A Brick
"Remember, I’ve read your ship’s logs, Sandy. Believe me, you need a diplomatic officer. You and your crew operate with all the subtly of a brick through a glass window."
