We need a fourth sci-fi franchise that starts with Star-...
EDIT: I just remembered Starfox exists, so Dr Who can be replaced.

The problem solver in Star Wars is an astromech droid.
It’s gonna be the Sonic, that thing is the mechanical version of psychic paper, it just does what needs doing.
Strong #2 for a good old fashioned block of explosives though
...credit where it's due: the Death Star solved ALL of Alderaan's problems with a single keystroke.
Star Trek phasers can be rigged to be explode just fine. They have all the functionality of C4 plus some.
Stargate wouldn't be C4, it would be a Zat'nik'tel.
- one shot stuns
- two shots kill
- three shots vaporizes
Full credit to Shanks for asking the important questions how badly designed a plot device it is. "How long between shots does it reset on the same target?"
Nothing has been disintegrated since 1969
Nah man. P90
This (waves P90) is a weapon of war.
Hey you, get that target swingin a little
I love that the p90 was literally designed to be the opposite. it was supposed to be issued to truck drivers and other support type personnel (and close quarters peace time antiterrorism type stuff).
Everything is relative.
No don't worry about that!

Will always love the scene where they're on Apophis's ship, looking down over the shield generator. Bra'tac states that to disable it, they need to go on some long cliche sci fi quest of going through multiple decks, flipping various controls, etc to disable the generator. O'Neill just calmly pulls out a couple grenades and drops them into the generator, destroying it.
That's why the Asgard wanted humans as allies. They had a unique but primitive way of tackling problems everyone else had forgotten.
"What do you mean we just blow up our brand new highly advanced spaceship?"
"WTF that worked?!"
The "O'Neil". Writers were cleverer back then.
There's another guy with only one 'L'
And he has no sense of humor.
Or the time when the Asgard are like “your stupid method of using shotguns against the replicators is surprisingly effective.”
Well... It also worked against the Borg every time, but Star Trek people insisted on never replicating some.
Maybe they should send the Enterprise back in time to recruit somebody too.
Yup, that's the one!
The next bit is gold too.
What now?
Now we die.
Well that's a bad plan. Where are the glider bays from here?
Are these....shuttles...formidable warships?
A thoroughly rousing speech on space ethics from captain Janeway .
Uhm. I think you mean from Daniel fucking Jackson.

TOS phaser with TNG Picard? C'mon
The sonic by far, a lightsaber is probably cooler and phasers are crazy versatile, by the time I stopped watching Doctor Who it was basically a magic wand if it wasn’t always.
Can you imagine the mischief Scotty would have gotten into if he had a sonic screwdriver
I'm pretty sure it's just a Green Lantern power ring. Doesn't work on wood my fanny...
Could be Alan Scott's ring.

C4? Please. How about using an actual Stargate to destroy a system?
"You blow up one sun and they never let you forget it..."
Self sealing stem-bolts.
I'd gladly pay you yamok sauce on Tuesday for a self sealing stem-bolt today.
I feel like an idiot.
Everyone wants these things and I don’t even know what they do.
I guess it doesn’t matter, they sell well.
One of my oldest
SG for the m'fn P90. Duh.
If we're going by frequency, for Star Trek, I'd replace the phaser with "reversing the polarity". But I think it's pretty spot-on for the others.
When in doubt, C-4. -Adam Savage
