Here is a quote from an old TV show that many of you will remember, and all of us should keep in mind in today's society:
"It's like a drug. I can't NOT watch it!"
The Outer Limits episode O.B.I.T. One of my favorites and you're right, it's very relevant today.

Of course.
SO timely.
Now YOU ask one.
(I've already requested that this thread be moved to the TELEVISION category.)
Thanks. Here ya go: "I'm inadequate. I'm truly grateful. Believe me. Believe me! BELIEVE ME!!!!!!"
Here's another quote from the same episode:
"Number 2 is unmutual."
Another clue. It's a British series.

Another clue. It's a British series.
It's THE PRISONER, of course, but I can't think of the episode title (and there's only 17).
Yep. It's from the episode, A CHANGE OF MIND.

Ah, yes!

Ok:
"We are entombed but we live on...this is only the beginning. We will prepare. We will grow stronger. When the time is right, we will emerge and take our rightful place as the supreme power of the Universe.."
Bonus if you can identify the particular story in which this was spoken.

No..this series episode took place a decade before..
Dr. Who?
Quote from: Memphremagog on February 06, 2017, 11:37:22 PM
Yes! But who/what spoke it?
No idea. Never seen a Dr. Who episode.
It's from GENESIS OF THE DALEKS..
http://youtu.be/Yjt3YFHJ17I (http://youtu.be/Yjt3YFHJ17I)
Is it me, then?
Just give me the show and the character speaking.
"Know this: I mean to stay. I mean to be a part of this family again."
Dark Shadows?

No.

Dark Shadows, YES! (Took long enough! ;D)

Think sci-fi and this particular story was written by a very famous sci-fi writer during the '60's

That's the one! Line spoken by Leonard Nimoy to William Windom.

Just the series title and character speaking.

As sure as his name is Boris Karloff (*ahem* William Henry Pratt ;)) you are correct. Carry on.

"Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"
The "ship" doesn't sail on water.
STAR TREK

STAR TREK
Correct!
And I suppose you know who doesn't remotely look like Satan. ;D
Spock. I think this was the Vaal episode if I am not mistaken. Ok...here we go:
"I did not say that she was dead. I said that I killed her."
No guesses? Ok, same show....quote that can easily be attached to this one. It'll give you a hint.
"So this is how it ends. Your beautiful face. How quiet, as if you were asleep. Am I never to see your eyes again? So often, they looked at me with love, and I returned nothing but hatred. I was blinded by my fury that my rejection of you caused. And so, through the years, we battled and fought-and I never guessed that, beneath my rage, I felt a love as strong as yours."
ok---I guess I killed the thread. Its DARK SHADOWS peeps. Phibes out.
Quote from: Anton Phibes on April 18, 2017, 11:35:14 PM

Nobody got my DS quote, either. Guess it doesn't have memorable dialog.
Try again!
How's about we resurrect this thread.
"I can no longer concern myself with your innocence!"
That seems so familiar!
Yep. A famous ep. The guy is trying to prevent disaster.
Is it Star Trek: "Assignment: Earth"?
Nope. A bit earlier. Involves time travel.
So is it earlier than 1966, or just that 1968 episode?
ST: "Tomorrow Is Yesterday" ?
Do not remember this line from any of the 6 STOS time travel episodes. Maybe Time Tunnel or Twilight Zone.
Not a Star Trek. Earlier than 1966.
Here's another line: "I'm too early. I'm too early. He hasn't been born."
Is it the OUTER LIMITS episode, THE MAN WHO WAS NEVER BORN?
BINGO! Your turn.
Tough one. But hey , could we please not paraphrase the quotes. Both of the quote clues given were incorrect. Not by much, but still....
Sorry about that. I did it from memory and sometimes I mess up a word or two. I'll double check going forward.
Memph got the answer, but while we hang on for his, here's one from a highly regarded show:
"Let's get the hell out of here."
All episodes of "Fantasy Island" .
Prison Break
This should help:
"I could have saved her. Do you know what you just did?"
Star Trek: City On the Edge Of Forever
Yes sir! You're up.

Right! Your turn! :)
OK. Here's one with some classic Universal resonance:
"It's not over until William Pratt says it's over! Now, you call the studio, and you tell them to read the fine print in my contract. If they shut down, it's them that's finished, not my picture."
Gods and Monsters ?
No, it's from a TV series. At least two of the episodes have nods to Universal, this being one of them.
From later in this second season episode:
Character 1: "I once met a great actor who made his name by playing monsters and ghouls, and yet he was the gentlest, he was the kindest, man I ever met."
Character 2: "Who?"
Character 1: "Boris Karloff. But his real name was William Pratt."
The "William Pratt" in this episode was neither gentle nor kind.
Quote from: segeorge on August 25, 2017, 01:47:53 PM
No, it's from a TV series.
D'Oh! I forgot where I was at.
Is it from THRILLER?
Quote from: Mike Scott on August 25, 2017, 02:19:36 PM
Is it from THRILLER?
That's a good guess; but no.
This series is rapidly approaching its 30th anniversary.
Tales from the Crypt ?
Nope. Maybe you're just unlucky...
Friday The 13th ?
That's the one!
OK...Here's one. Late 70's show.
"Well, as long as you're here, welcome aboard. No sign of the alien ship. But the coordinates on the commander's signal are over there."
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ?
Nope, no gold star for you.
SPACE: 1999 ?
No. Hint...One actor left the show after 1st season, to make a big scifi movie.
Wild guess: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Nope. Another hint....Danger hides in the stars.
BLAKE'S 7 ?
Nope.
Easy hint.... Tarzan and the Super 7
I had never heard of that. But by judicious application of Google-fu , inference, and deduction, the quote most likely comes from Jason of Star Command, with James "Scotty" Doohan the actor leaving after the first season (thank you, Wikipedia).
Correct...1st episode. Your turn
OK, how about this:
"In the years to come, whoever finds our institute, we, the scientists, greet you. The destruction of our world as we know it is imminent. But our civilization's great advances must not vanish."
While the quote is specific to the episode in which it appears, it does have a bearing on the background of the series.
Battlestar Galactica ?
No. This dystopian series pre-dates BG by a couple years.
Planet of the Apes ?
Logan's Run ?
Quote from: Mike Scott on August 29, 2017, 09:02:30 PM
Planet of the Apes ?
That's the one!
The fugitives stumble across a hologram directing them towards buried scientific information in Oakland (The Legacy).
Your turn.
