Kim Cattrall as a Vulcan?

Vulcan or not, Kim Cattrall's performance in this movie is just horrible. I found the way she delivered her lines most annoying!
 
The only line of hers that bothered me was the "Thrusters only while in spacedock." She emphasizes the wrong word, making it seem like you can't use thrusters outside of spacedock.

(Seriously, how many pages did we spend in that one thread arguing about her line delivery? How ever many it was, it was far too many.)
 
^ Seriously? For a movie from 1991?
And not just any movie. A Star Trek movie. How many people obsessive enough to post on the board haven't seen all ten at least once?


I'd love to read that thread :)

Different line, though. And I doubt this thread would balloon to those proportions. Basically, in the original theatrical cut and pre-DE releases of the film, does Valeris, when being mind-probed by Spock and is naming the traitors, name 'Ambassador Nanclus' or does she say 'and others?'

Clearly, it's the former. :vulcan:

Really! Why would anyone into Star Trek rather spend his time on a message board than spend it watching a STAR TREK MOVIE they haven't seen yet?

This is the kind of contradictory information that Kirk used to make computers blow themselves up.

No, there was a thread (pruned, as best I can tell) where we went around in circles for several pages about Cattrall's delivery of the "Thrusters only while in spacedock" line. And it did balloon to proportions as ridiculous as those of the "Nanclus/and others" debate.

Um, wow. For the record, I think Cattrall's line reading of "thrusters only" makes sense: Thrusters only, nothing else is allowed. I'm not inclined to restate my opinion a dozen times, though, I've learned my lesson.

I don't want to get into this, really, but the delivery is goofy. Probably should've been written "only thrusters" instead of "thrusters only." The emphasis she uses sounds silly. Either way, it wasn't a big enough deal for it to ruin the character.
