Abrams spent $10mil removing duct tape

[Sector 7]

In the center of the desk, between the two barcode readers.

I always wondered why they used off-the-shelf barcode readers? Is there also a gift shop on the bridge?

The hostess station doubles as a check-out stand.

That's not duct tape. It's Shatner's hairpiece tape.

 

[M'Sharak]

So... they didn't have money to build an engineering set and it's all duct tape's fault

I wasn't going to point that out.

LOL, never noticed that in the trailer.

I also did not notice it in the trailer.

Look for it at about 1:17 in this vid of the trailer from November:

They should've left the duct tape. Pike could've picked up it and asked who left it then, and then Commander MacGyver would raise his hand and say it belonged to him.

 

[Trekker4747]

That would have been cool if they left it in instead of spent millions of dollars to remove it.

I suspect that the $10 million figure was a joke on J.J.'s part -- just an arbitrary large-ish number picked out of the air on the spur of the moment, and that the actual figure was much lower.

Indeed.

It's there to repair the consoles. Cheaper than fuses.

Scott - Sir, she's falling apart
Kirk - Can't you put some duct tape?
Scott - No, I forgot it on the bridge!

Chekov: I can do that! I can do that!

Duct tape keeps those exploding panels from bursting in people's faces, truly extraordinary stuff!

 

[Jeri]

Red Green would be proud.

 

[Wynterhawk]

Haha. I thought that subject line was serious.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Wow. That makes me feel better about my fuckups at work.

But who says they don't have duct tape in the 23rd C?

 

[Lindley]

They do, but they call it "ductic tape".

 

[donners22]

If they could use salt and pepper shakers in Sickbay, why not a roll of duct tape?
