Just what do you mean by Sulu's sword play??

Oh my.

I want to see Kirk joke about alcoholism while he rips his shirt in the process of nailing a short skirted, go-go booted Starfleet hottie with big hair.

And please, at the end of the flick after thousands suffer and die, could we have a group chuckle on the Bridge?

 

[SeamusShameless]

How about body doubles who look nothing like the actors?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Nobody's gonna vote for that! Or for boom mikes in the scenes!

Where's crashing shuttlecraft?

DeafPoet said: McCoy and Spock banter for instance is a big deal. Things about Vulcan culture (the hand sign, 'Live Long and Prosper') should be in there too.

Things less essential would include the Kirk chop and syrofoam rocks, obviously.

Basically, keep everything that keeps the fans coming back: the characters. Lose all the stuff that was in there for budgetary and '60s camp purposes.

I couldn't agree more. :thumbsup:

How about Q debating logic with Spock?

I guess I identify that more with a VOY tradition.

I also left out stuff like technobabble and time-travel reset buttons that aren't unique to TOS...

"The Galileo Seven", "Metamorphosis", even Star Trek: The Final Frontier to an extent.

Did the shuttle crash in Metamorphosis? I thought it was just brought down to the planet, fairly gently. Didn't they leave in the same shuttlecraft?

 

[Kegek]

I'm pretty sure that they kind of crashed and had to repair the shuttlecraft, and then, yes, left the planet with the same vehicle. It's been a long while, what I remember most clearly is Zefram Cochrane freaking out at the idea the Companion is romantically attracted to him...

But 'shuttlecraft crash' I don't think precludes it being impossible to repair, just that it crashed and they're probably then stranded on a planet... like "Metamorphosis".

So I think it counts.

You've got to keep all 40.


Got to.


Nope. Don't argue.

 

[Sephiroth]

where would the Great Captain James S. Kirk be without the Infamous Harry Mudd?

 

[Dale]

That's James R. Kirk!

 

[Sephiroth]

ah, my bad, lol

 

[sturmde]

Isn't it Jackson James Roykirk?

 

[candida]

wasn't sulu's swordplay only in The Naked Time ? Hardly a tradition

 

[Woulfe]

^ In this case it has a alternate meaning, if you get my drift.

ps
female vulcans in tos didnt have moe haircuts

Neither did all the men. Stonn and I believe Sarek are examples.

I always hated 24th century Trek (and "Enterprise") for that.

Romulans, Vulcans, Mintakans...

I've said it myself- "Vulcanoids are NOT all relatives of Moe Howard."
