How'd you react when Cochrane said, "You're all astronauts, on some kind of star trek!"?

I voted for "secret cheer," but it was more like a "secret chuckle."

I thought it was hilarious, personally.

It got a bit of a chuckle, so that probably counts as a "secreet cheer".

I think I laughed that someone finally said it.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I cheered. Great gift to the fans and did not detract from the overall dialogue.

I voted eh. But I wanted more of an eh? Instead of the eh. Because honestly I don't know what you're talking about.

When Riker, Troi and Geordi reveal the Enterprise to Cochrane and tell of the future, he replies "And you..you're all astronauts...on some kind of star trek?"

Secret cheer, but it was more of a combo of secret cheer and :roll: . But it was humorous.

I laughed because it was the first time anyone said that in Star Trek. How cool would it be to have a time travel episode where they meet Gene Roddenbarry and inspire him to say the same thing.
