Ice Monster #2: "I can't believe i ate the whole thing".

Archer: Congratulations on your promotion Captain Kirk. Now fire that Chief Engineer. Nobody messes with Beagles in Starfleet!

Captain Robau in an after credits thing.

Captain Robau: I'm back bitches!

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Nero to Pike: "Centaurian slugs. They wrap themselves around your brain stem. BET YOU CAN'T EAT JUST ONE!!!!!!!"

It's more the missing nudity that hurt the film.

Robau: "If I don't come back, Mr. Kirk...my collection of assless chaps is yours."

 

[Mirren Audax]

Some Scouse bloke saying that he wants to kick some Romulan arse - no wait, they left that one in.

SULU:"I'm not gay. I just really, really, REALLY like the skin flute."

 

[Hartzilla2007]

Spock Prime: Actually it wasn't a supernova that destroyed Romulus, God-Admiral Robau was just pissed at the Romulans and lit a fart on them.

Robau: Polarize the viewscreen.

George Kirk: Are you stupid? There's a ship the size of Montana out there! Your first order isn't "Back us off" or "shields up" or "get us out of here." Remind me to ask for a transfer.

Kirk to Spock Prime: Seven of us being assigned to the Enterprise means the timeline is trying to repair itself? What, the destruction of Vulcan wasn't all that important?

In another thread, Dennis made comments which reminded me about how the writers' strike had prevented Abrams from adding an impromptu line into the script.

All [Abrams] said during the strike, by way of commiseration with someone on the picket line, was that he'd thought of a great line that day while shooting "Star Trek" and couldn't add it because he was striking (as a writer, but not as a director).

So my question to you good people (and angry bastards) is:

"What was that line?"

There is no doubt in my mind (and all of yours, too) that Star Trek XI will suck to high heaven solely because of the exclusion of that very line.

"But maybe he added the line back in later, Cogley, after the strike was over."

No! He did not!

The way the Writer's Guild works is that the line of dialog is tied permanently back to the moment that the author of that line thought of it. So, even though the strike is over, any thoughts that were generated during that time period are forever forbidden, like the Lambada. In fact, if anyone accurately predicts what the missing line was and prints it here, there is the very real possibility that the entire site will be shut down forever by Guild lawyers. So be careful.

So what was that precious line that could have saved Star Trek? And for wont of the line, the franchise was lost.

I'm going to go with: "THE WOMEN!"

is any of that actually true. is the writers guild actually run by hitler?

You might want to read the rest of the thread. You may find the answer to your question, among other things.

[Robau vaporizes a random crewman by glaring at them]

George Kirk: Nevermind, polarizing the view screen is a very good idea.
