"In range?" - "Not yet sir." - "Come on, come on." - "She'll fly apart!" - "Fly her apart then!"
"It had the advantage of never having been tried."
Hmm. I wonder what he'd be saying that about?
McCoy's classic line to Kirk in "Balance of Terror"
"In this galaxy there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth type planets, and in all the universe three million million galaxies like this, and in all of that, and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don't destroy the one named Kirk."
"Shut up, Spock - we're rescuing you!"
I thought the same thing, and there are so many things which could be done with it while retaining the basic elements of:"Shut up, Spock - we're rescuing you!"
Yes. Great character moment anyway. That one line speaks volumes about McCoy and his relationship with Spock.
Unfortunately, this dynamic may be lost in new Trek. McCoy is viewed by Spock merely as Kirk's friend. I hope the Kirk/Spock/McCoy relationship is being championed somewhere at Bad Robot this time. Even upon later viewings, I still miss the Trinity.I thought the same thing, and there are so many things which could be done with it while retaining the basic elements of:"Shut up, Spock - we're rescuing you!"

McCoy: impatience/irritation/irascibility coloring genuine concern
Spock: acerbic/sarcastic response
Kirk: wordless reaction shots to both
That's a money note, right there, if done just right. Even if not using the identical line--and I'd actually prefer they didn't dredge up too many more old lines for "OK, remember this one?" purposes--I'd still like to see a moment which explores the same kind of territory just as effectively as did that one moment in 'The Immunity Syndrome'.
