History Awesome / StarTrekFirstContact

* "I believe I speak for everyone here, sir, when I say: 'To hell with our orders.'"

** Another for Picard and his effect on Worf- There are precisely two men in the universe that Worf would let insult him like that without violent retribution. One is his son Alexander. The other is Picard.
* Another Worf line, just two words: "Assimilate THIS!"

* "Then perhaps today is a good day to die! Prepare for ramming speed!" "Sir, there's another starship coming in.... It's the ''Enterprise!''" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4DCOpG1oNE Arguably the Enterprise-E's first CMoA.]]
* One for both Zephram Cochrane and Steppenwolf: Cochrane launches his modified nuclear missile to go to warp flight and get the attention of the Vulcans, leading to Earth's first contact with an alien race...and he does it while blasting "Magic Carpet Ride" across the whole base.
* While this troper feels the entire film is one long crowning moment of awesome, special notice given to the period from when the the Phoenix launches (complete with its own crowning music of awesome) and flies away from the Earth with the ''Enterprise'' in pursuit, while at the same time Picard looks utterly screwed... until suddenly Data reveals his hand and breaches the coolant tank.

'''Lily''': [[PrecisionFStrike Bullshit]]! I saw the look your face when you shot those Borg on the Holodeck. You were almost enjoying it!\\

'''Lily''': Or what? You'll kill me? Like you killed Ensign Lynch?\\
'''Picard''': ...There was no way to save him.\\

'''Lily''': Jean-Luc, '''blow up the damn ship'''!\\

-->'''Picard''': I will not sacrifice the ''Enterprise''. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. '''The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!''' [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge And I will make them pay for what they've done!]]

** Dispite being controlled by the Borg at that time, the Enterprise ''still'' managed to look totally awesome! Sweet Jesus, indeed.

* The [[NightmareFuel Borg Queen's entrance?]]

-->'''Picard''': I will not sacifice the ''Enterprise''. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back.

** This movie starts out with a [=CMoA=] with the battle with the Borg Cube at the beginning. Particularly notable is Worf's response to being informed the Defiant has lost weapons. He accepts that he may be about to die, and orders Ramming Speed.

** The ''Phoenix'' has another CMOA as it reaches orbit. At first it just looks like this rickety, cobbled-together ''thing'' that's barely a step up from a 60's space capsule... Then the side panels come off, and slowly a pair of ''StarTrek''-style ''[[CoolStarship warp engines unfold and lock into position]].'' And that is when the discerning Trekkie ''knows'' epic-ness is about to ensue.

** Tim Lynch [[http://www.bradley.edu/campusorg/psiphi/mov/STFC/review.html found]] Lily's retort "'''BULLSHIT!'''" to be a [=CMoA=] against Picard's (temporary) pomposity about having "evolved sensibilities".

* And Picard killing Borg with a Tommy Gun in the [[TheKobayashiMaru holodeck]].

** A quieter, but no less awesome moment of HeWhoFightsMonsters/WhatHaveIDone realization follows:

** This moment of quiet WhatHaveIDone realization:

* "Assimilate ''this''", Tommy guns on the Holodeck, first warp jump... It's [[SoCoolItsAwesome that kind of movie]].

** This moment:

'''Picard''': In my century we don't succumb to succumb to revenge. We have a more evolved sensibility.\\

* The Borg Queen's [[FoeYay temptation of Data]] is evil, kinky win. [blows on Data's new skin] "Was it good for you?" [[FetishFuel Yes. Yes it was.]]

* And Picard killing Borgs with a Tommy Gun in the [[TheKobayashiMaru holodeck]].

* Lily calling Picard out on his decision to stay and fight the Borg.

'''Picard''': Get out!\\

'''Picard''': There was no way to save him.\\

'''Lily''': Jean-Luc '''blow up the damn ship'''!\\
'''Picard''': [[BigNo Nooooooo! Nooooo!]]
