at least to me, amidst the aftremath of the newest Star Trek film incarnation, which I thouroughly enjoyed, I remembered what first introduced me to Trek, I was 12 years old, and my father took me to an outdoor screening of The Undiscovered Country at the lakeshore in Montreal, and I was hooked, from that moment onward, I couldn't get enough Trek. And this brings me to the point of my my post, I found a piece of Trek nostalgia that harkens back to Star Trek 6 that (truly and honestly) brought a tear to my eye.

Impressive.
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.

Re: Extremely poignant...
I've seen that before. It was on the TNG videos or some such. It's very good.
