Giggles in Trek

Worf Down? Worf down there?

 

In TNG, Worf smashing Geordi's banjo in Qpid and subsequent "sorry" always makes me smile.

In DISCO, Tilly's little salute to Georgiou always makes me laugh too.

 

That Holodeck practice scene in Magnificant Ferengi absolutely slayed me when I was a kid and first saw it.

 

Worf: Good tea. ..Nice house.

 

I sometimes wonder if he improvised that part.

 

The funniest moment was in "The Offspring" when Lal pulls Riker over the Ten Forward bar and kisses him. Then Data asks Riker what his intentions are towards his daughter. Even Vulcans think that one is funny!

 

When Riker impersonates Picard in "Pegasus" using a puppet as a dummy.

 

"Come with me...CUPCAKE!"

 

She said it. Onstage at a Star Trek convention in Denver near the end of the run of the show. She was complaining because she didn't like the looks of the stunt double's butt as compared to hers.

Hanging from a flying rig is always a stunt. The higher they hang you, the more likely they'll use a double instead. It's a safety precaution.

 

That for sure sounds like Marina Sirtis!

 

I thought the same

 

That guy still resents that remark, THREE YEARS LATER, he's got serious self-esteem problems!

 

I always wondered how Cupcake feels about the fact that the guy he once beat the shit out of, in a bar fight, is now his commanding officer.

 

Well, Kirk still takes him on away missions, so that means that at least he believes in water under the bridge.

 

Fun fact: Cupcake's real name is Hendorff. In the prime timeline, he is one of the redshirts killed in "The Apple".

 

Are we sure it's the same guy?

 

Yep.

In fact, it was the idea of the actor who played him in the Kelvin films.

 

That's great! I didn't know they made that kind of homage (to TOS).

 

The background or minor people in the Kelvin films are more or less randomly given the names of background or minor characters from TOS or the classic movies:

Although it never made it to the screen, Simon Pegg says the 2 crewman Krall first absorbs in Star Trek Beyond were the 2 who were getting married at the start of "Balance of Terror"

 

You may be thinking of Greg Grunberg, who requested his character in Beyond be Kirk's academy bully Finnegan.
