I got a charge out of the log entry in the beginning when he lists how many days they've been in space, then mentions that they're all starting to run together as he opens his closet to a dozen identical uniforms.
Best lines in "Beyond" (Obviously avoid thread if you haven't seen it yet)
- Thread starter Franklin
- Start date
AlI was thinking there was where's the green wrap-about shirt?
"In a pig's eye" - whatever that means. - was my favourite
Ahh yes but did you catch the reference to the number of days they had been in space? I heard that and figured only serious Trekkies would get that.
Easy for trek fans. The person I dragged with me to see it gave me a funny look when I muttered about 966 during the film. Had to explain it later!966 days in space. Easy enough to figure what that means.
My favourite line was Kirk saying to Edison something along the lines of 'we changed. Otherwise, we keep fighting the same battles'.
There were so manly memorable lines in this film, and I hate to draw comparisons, but one of my biggest complaints about Into Darkness is that no one (not even Khan!) had a memorable line. Pegg is a better writer than Orci, plain & simple. A few that stuck out after first viewing:
Kirk: "There is no such thing as the unknown. Only things temporarily hidden." A quote from The Corbomite Maneuver!
Sulu (in response to Kirk's question as to whether he could pilot a 100 year old ship): "You're kidding, right, sir?"
McCoy (when he learned he'd have to pilot the alien ship again): "This was YOUR idea!" Same line he said in TMP upon being drafted.
I also LOVED Scotty's speech to Jaylah, when she was afraid. Words to the effect of: 'We'll never quit on you. That's what it means to be part of a crew.' Maybe the best dialogue of the movie and I haven't seen it mentioned at all.
In this film, Kirk, Scotty, and Uhura (others too, but these 3 especially) espoused Gene Roddenberry's views of a united humankind, and it was awesome.

There were a lot of callouts to various parts of the original series. The Franklin being grabbed by a giant green hand was one of the ones I remembered.
Checkov being pegged for a vodka person was a nice one-two when in the end, he's giving the little old woman from Leningrad speech during the birthday party.

I also liked the line near the beginning where he's talking about his father. Something like, "I'm now a year older than he ever got to be". Do you think maybe it was supposed to be Kirk's 30th birthday? I don't recall if it was said or not.
Also, does anyone remember this one? You know those little creatures from the start of the movie and a couple got beamed up with Kirk. At the end at Kirk's party it looks like one of them is with Scotty's little buddy. It sounded to me like Kirk said as he walked by them, "Still not wearing pants, huh"?

Yep, he also calls the little alien Kevin in that scene.
That got a huge laugh from my wife.
Can someone explain the 966 and Commodore Paris lines for a... Temporarily absentminded Trekkie?
I took the 966 reference as September 1966 when TOS debuted on tv. Paris is a reference to the crew member in Voyager.
Dammit! All the best ones have been taken but IIRC someone, (McCoy?) told Spock:
Whenever a human girl says, It's not you, it's me. - it's you.
Whenever a human girl says, It's not you, it's me. - it's you.
It means disbelief in something. McCoy also said it at the end of "Amok Time" in response to Spock's explanation for going all emotional when he saw Kirk was actually alive.
Additionally, when Jaylah calls out Kirk for evesdropping during that scene, he doesn't act coy like with Marcus in ID nor does he joke around and shirk responsibility like his 09 counterpart. He just straight up backs Scotty and tells her that she's integral to the mission. I just really liked how that whole scene played.
I was wondering about the 966 as well.966 = Sept. 1966
Commodore Paris = Tom's great-great-great-great-grandmother?
"I like the beats and shouting"
And wasn't the Paris family supposed to have been in Starfleet for multiple generations, so I guess that shows it was so.
There was no dialogue in the scene where Spock is going through Spock Prime's personal effects, but I was touched when he found the picture of the crew as they looked during the movies of the 80's.
Also at the end, when you have the "Space, the final frontier" speech, wasn't it each member of the crew saying a section of it, not just Kirk. That's what it sounded like to me.
I think the horseshit & radioactive jewelry/tracking device scene got the biggest laughs. Many scenes were funny.
