Those... Are both actual quotes, aren't they?

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They might as well be. I know I can see Reno saying that without a moments hesitation.

I'm pretty sure the Reno quote is real. (Edit: It's not.) The O'Neill one I don't remember, even though there's both time travel and evil nanites in late SG1 seasons.

Reno does ask for gum in one episode and she does have a line saying "I can fix that metaphor with duct tape too if you want" but the line from the image, as it's written, isn't in the show. I just finished a rewatch recently because I am sad.

That tracks then. The SG1 line in similarly built from actual plot points, but I'm pretty sure it's not a direct quote too.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

That would fit and would make sense why the line is so immediately believable. Even I had to take a hot second to think about it. Meme was well made. Not by me, I'm not that narcissistic yet

I love when Reno calls Stamets "Bobcat".

I don’t remember O’Neill (2 L’s) ever mentioning nanites.

I am humbled. I still don’t remember that quote but I forgot they actually called them nanites so who knows. Time for another rewatch!

This is why I cry for Discovery. Such a waste.
