The Enemy Within
- [Reilly is trying to convince Julia Heller to betray the colonists];
- Reilly: Who knows; when you do, maybe the Council will name an entire continent after your family.
- Julia Heller: Yeah. Maybe they'll call it "Hell".
Moon Cross
- Alonzo Solace: It seems like Terrians, but it's not.
- Morgan Martin: What's that supposed to mean? You seem coherent, but you're not.
- [Yale tells Mary about how people ask God for forgiveness "for the harm that they have done."]
- Mary: The Terrian way is better. Don't harm.
- Yale: And don't forgive.
After the Thaw
- [The colonists experience numerous problems shortly after finding a 300,000 year-old frozen alien]
- Morgan Marin [to Julia Heller]: ...or are you finally going to admit that the iceman shouldn't have cometh?
- Yale: I certainly would be perturbed if I heard that someone had dug up my grandfather.
- [The colonists are being tested to see who is being controlled by the alien]
- Morgan Martin: Oh God, what if it is me? You'd lock me up, right? Y-You'd make sure that I didn't hurt anyone...
- [pauses]
- Morgan Martin: Or worse, hurt myself.
The Boy Who Would Be Terrian King
- Officer: Looks like we moved for a rook and captured the king.
- [True is hiding a dangerous alien animal. Again]
- Yale [to True Danziger]: God, child, will you never learn?
Survival Of The Fittest
- [Heller, J. Danziger, Solace, want to continue on the search for food, risking death. Morgan Martin wants to go back to camp.]
- Morgan Martin: I can't believe this! ... [the decision to go on] Gotta be unanimous, right?
- John Danziger: Right. Let's go.
- [The other three start to get in the vehicle to drive off while Morgan stands there]
- Alonzo Solace [calling back to Morgan]: Let's go, Morgan.
- [Morgan stands there for a moment, then gets into the vehicle]
- Morgan Martin: Next time I volunteer for something, remind me how unsuited I am for this kind of stress.
- Walman: We have every right to defend ourselves!
- Alonzo Solace: That doesn't give us the right to go blasting our way across the planet!
Flower Child
- Alonzo Solace: Fear is a door, beyond it is the unknown.
I might be wrong about the episode or the character that said it, but this BS line is so perfect, so stupid. I went around randomly quoting it to strangers.
