This page is for the nomination of featured quotes. Click here to nominate articles or images. |
If you see an quote that is, in your opinion, very good, then here is the place to nominate it to be the featured quote shown on the main page.
At this point, the nomination system is deliberately kept simple. The quote with the most votes (at least 3-4) is removed from this pool and placed on the main page, and remains there until the next quote is featured. There is no queue involved. If an quote remains in the pool for more than 3 months with an insufficient number of votes, it will be removed. It may, however, be nominated again.

Quote 33 (+1)[]
Todd: One of our facilities is under attack by a rival Hive. Our two support ships must depart for battle. My Hive will remain here; continue the work with Doctor Keller.
Woolsey: I'm glad to hear that.
(Both Todd and Caldwell turn and stare at him)
Woolsey: Oh, not the "under attack" part. That's unfortunate, of course. I-I just meant ...never mind.

"Uh, wh-what exactly does that mean?" - ―Jacob Carter/Selmak and Daniel Jackson
Nominating and for. This quote is pretty funny and I like how it seems to portray how Stargate makes fun of itself and science-fiction in general and the use of crazy, made-up words. From "Exodus" —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 20:00, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Quote 36 (+3)[]
"Indeed." (Teal'c)
Nominating and for. One of the more frequent verbal responses from Teal'c in the second half of the show. Never stated early on but gradually became Teal'c's catch-all positive reply (the eyebrow being the negative) and a signature of his presence on SG-1. Myrrlyn (talk) (Contribs) 12:21, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
For- I cant believe this hasn't made the featured quote list yet! I cant think of anything more intrinsically stargate then Teal'c saying "Indeed," except perhaps his eyebrow manuver.
