I cannot stand Scotty/Uhura

[Agenda]

I just don't see why they even went there in FF.

It wasn't interesting. They didn't develop it. It didn't go anywhere in subsequent movies. They didn't even have any great chemistry.

It also appeared out of nowhere.

They were on the same ship since forever. So, why the hell would she find him somehow unattainable until Star Trek V? I mean, were the women all clamouring for him over the years? You'd think it would be the reverse. If anything, she should be the unattainable one.

It just didn't make any sense.

 

[Shazam!]

Makes more sense than Worf and Troi...

Besides, I never took the Final Frontier thing seriously. It'll all seemed like harmless fun to me.

 

[Joker]

Makes more sense than Work and Troi...

Yeah. Lazy bitch just sat there "counselling" all day long.

Yeah. Lazy bitch just sat there "counselling" all day long.

But yeah, I'm just glad Worf/Troi was never so much as mentioned in DS9 or the TNG movies. And Scotty/Uhura...do with that what you should do with the complete entirety of Star Trek V: pretend it doesn't exist, that it never happened. That's what I do.

Agreed on both points.

 

[Chimpy Chompy]

I just found it kinda cute. Doesn't even have to be interpreted as overtly romantic. Just two people growing close after working together for so long.

D'oh LOL

Harmless fun that wasted (and worse) 3 minutes of a 1 hour 45 min movie. Disgraceful. Maybe tolerable in an ongoing TV series to waste a few minutes on a dead-end plot-line----but in a once every two years motion picture series?

 

[Shooting]

From what I read in other forums, that was not in Shatner's script. It was added in by another writer Paramount hired..

 

[Ward Fowler]

My only regret is that they never had a long, tender, and erotic love scene.

Wow. And now you want those three minutes back, I guess?

But please, elaborate, what exactly do you find disgraceful about it?

 

[Yeoman Randi]

I also saw it as two people who've worked together a long time being tender, no romance involved. That said, i thought it was totally icky.

There's actually a little-known deleted scene featuring just such a thing.

Here's a screencap and the dialogue:

Scotty: "Can you hold that up?"
Uhura: "Nope. I'm holding my own up."

Rewatch the scene from sickbay and tell me they're 'just being tender'
BS
She is clearly wanting some sexual (ugh) encounter and his reply dialogue "I don't think I could handle it in my present condition." makes that perfectly clear.

What's disgraceful is it interupts probably the best scene in the movie Sybok & the big 3 in the observation room. The 'jokes' should have been long since over in the over at that point.

 

[Barchester]

Dude. It's a movie for crying out loud.

 

[ScatmanRescueMe]

Dude. It's a movie for crying out loud.

Wow brilliant.

"It's a movie"--------so they should leave in a pointless, embarrassing scene that detracts from and ruins the mood of the movie.
Yes, fire the editors and leave everything in.

 

[Barchester]

That's exaggerating, of course. I just don't get why you're so incredibly worked up over a scene of three minutes, that's all. Yeah, I agree, it could have easily have been left out without missing anything, but it's there and I personally think it's a nice scene with two colleagues showing their affection for each other.

If that scene ever shows up in a director's cut, I can only hope it happens before smell-o-vision technology is widely adopted.

That is the way I took it too. I also think it was just harmless fun.

I didn't think much of it...it did come out of no where and wasn't developed or continued in Star Trek VI but sometimes situations develop from weird experiences. It would seem this came from Uhura and Scotty working somewhat closely on the Enterprise repairs re their discussion on the bridge in the movies opening.

As for Worf and Troi...as much as I hated it with the rest of you, it didn't really come out of no where. Deanna and Worf had been close friends for some time and had been working intimitaly on the subject of Alexander for a while.
