My favourite things about the “are you prepared for the kind of death you’ve earned, little man?” meme are that a. it’s not an “incorrect quotes” gag – that’s actually what Brent Spiner is saying in that shot; and b. he’s talking to Wil Wheaton.
I don’t remember this, so please, tell me where I can learn more.

God I love Brent Spiner
Looking back on the early episodes, it’s striking how much of the humour relies on finding excuses for Brent Spiner to say something wildly incongruous with a perfectly straight face. I know it’s weird to praise an actor for lack of affect, but Spiner’s impenetrable poker face carries whole scenes.
