History Awesome / GalaxyQuest

* Sarris gets one after he appears to be defeated, albeit a horrifying and dark one. [[spoiler:He teleports onboard the Protector disguised as Fred and guns down the crew in his ultimate moment of DangerouslyGenreSavvy. The ResetButton undid it, but he deserves credit for sheer vileness]].

* While it doesn't happen in the movie, [[Website/SFDebris one guy]] happened upon the idea of scoring the scene of [[spoiler:the Omega 13 being activated and Nesmith [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong Setting Right What Once Went Wrong]]]] to Corey Hart's "Never Surrender". [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Guess how well it works...]]

* "By Grabthar's hammer...by the suns of Worvan...you shall be ''avenged''." [[spoiler: Followed shortly by Alan Rickman killing an alien with his bare hands,]] [[spoiler: [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and kicking prodigious amounts of ass in what can only be described as a berserk fury.]]]] [[spoiler: Think about that for a moment. He's an actor, armed with nothing more than his fists and whatever he can get his hands on, up against a horde of battle hardened alien soldiers who have directed energy weapons and body armor. When we see him later, all evidence shows that he was ''winning''.]]

** Some of the fans point their fake laser guns at Sarris, including one kid who fired off a shot from his Nerf gun.

* This editor watched ''Galaxy Quest'' in a room full of sci-fi geeks. When Tim Allen tugs his waistband down in the manner of Picard, then lounges in his captain's chair like Kirk, the whole place fell about laughing without a word being spoken on screen...

* What about Mathesar beating up Sarris ''WITH A CANE'', despite being put through brutal torture not too long ago?

** I liked watching all the fans point thier fake laser guns at him, including one kid who pointed his Nerf dart-gun and actually fired a few ''rounds'' at Sarris!

* In real life, the highly positive reactions of the StarTrek cast members, who saw it for the AffectionateParody that it was instead of as a TakeThat.

* In-universe: the fans were surprised seeing Sarris come out of the ship; more amazed that Jason killed him.

----> ''Never give up, never surrender!''

* The self-destruct override [[spoiler:apparently failing only to kick in just before the timer reaches zero. Cue a moment of bewilderment for both characters and audience before Gwen [[LampshadeHanging hangs the metatextual lampshade]]: "It always [[JustInTime stops at one]] on the show."]] Payoff!

* "And it doesn't take a great actor to recognize a bad one - you're sweating!"

* Brandon (the fan who accidentally got the communicator) has one fairly late in the movie. When Captain Nesmith calls him to ask some technical questions about the ship, Brandon tries to explain that he knows it's not real, that it's ony a show. The Captain cuts him off to tell him it's all real, to which he responds "OH I KNEW IT!!!!" And every Star Trek fan in the audience had a [=CMoA=] of "If only...".

* How about Mathesar, leader of the usually peaceful/naive Thermians, who has been held captive and tortured by Sarris, ''[[spoiler: beating the shit out of Sarris with his cane]]'' near the end of the movie?

* What about Mathesar beating up Sarris ''WITH A CANE''?
