Am tucking this little bit of off-topic reference to William Shatner, here. Because this is where fans will find it. Related to a link to an article in Variety, regarding the premier of his newest book, is the following.
https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/william-shatner-space-boldly-go-excerpt-1235395113/
True, he’s promoting a book. I get it. And as an author, will be sharing profound thoughts to intrigue Buyers. Except that half the world’s population already knows him. And if they're interested, they will find him. I respect all the things he’s taken a chance on during life. Never apologizing for the failures, the questionable, and never stuck in the triumphs. He's keeps on moving ahead.
Here's the value of his impression of a view from space.
The quote itself actually needs to be read in context, but this is the nugget, and which is not to say that plenty of other people haven't already figured it out.
"𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘶𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘺.”
A simple truth is that if a meteor was hurdling in our direction, better believe people would come together looking a solution. The funny thing is, all the solutions are under our nose already. But people refuse to talk about them! Why does it take a 90 year old who’s seen and done most everything in the world that he's wanted to, to remind us? These visionary people will soon be gone. Probably when we need them most. What a shame to ignore their message and insight!

#5: "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it"
This was just used in a recent episode about the Horta when Spock theorizes that she is based on silicon as opposed to carbon like most humanoid species are.
Shame on you, MeTV.
BTW, 8 out of 10 - including MeTV's goof.

You might want to check that again. There are lines from Devil in a Dark that come close, but not exactly. One of them is: "Life as we know it is universally based on some combination of carbon compounds, but what if life exists based on another element? For instance, silicon." Another is "Within range of our sensors, there is no life, other than the accountable human residents of this colony beneath the surface. At least, no life as we know it."
There's also a similar line in Errand of Mercy, when Spock describes the Organians as "Fascinating. Pure energy. Pure thought. Totally incorporeal. Not life as we know it at all."
But exactly the way MeTV has written it? Not used. Not in TOS, anyhow. (Star Trekkin' by The Firm, though -- that's another story.)

That line is from a parody song from the 1970's called Star Trekkin'

"Who put the Tribbles in the Quadratriticaly, an what was in the grain that killed them?"....
Otis Campbell exclaiming to Rafe Hollister.

8/10. Remembered a couple of them wrong but overall, thanks to my household of Trekkies, most were familiar.
5/10. I failed badly but I had fun doing it 😌
8/10 not too bad
Not bad.
9/10 got #5 wrong, I thought it was something either Spock or McCoy said.
You are right. It was from an episode that just aired recently about the Horta being based on silicon instead of carbon like most humanoid species.
Actually, no. MeTV is right. You're misremembering that dialog.
