Movie Caption Contest #215: The Search for the Director

With no crew, and no control over their ship, the officers of a battered and crippled USS Enterprise had to concede defeat to a Klingon Bird of Prey, forced to destroy their ship themselves to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
Surely, such a thing would never happen in the future, to a bigger, grander Enterprise, with a full crew and fully armed and equipped.
Right? ... right?
The cast of The Cabin in the Woods 2 were surprised to find which one of them would be fulfilling the Slut role.
Thanks for the acknowledgement, Gil.
It wasn't Photoshopped from a show. There are a few different Leif Ericson digital models floating around the internet and I have a couple of them. I used the caption image as a background plate in a 3D rendering suite and simply positioned the model within the region of the view screen.
The kit was originally released in the late 60 and was packaged as the "Leif Ericson". AMT, the company that released the various Trek kits hired none other than Matt Jefferies, the designer of the classic Enterprise, to design a unique motif the model kit company would outright own itself. It was meant to be the first in a series of related kits set in a "common universe". Sadly, the kit did not sell that well, and the plan to produce additional ships in the series was dropped.
In the early 70s, the kit was repackaged as the "Interplanetary UFO" and cast in "glow in the dark" plastic. The box art was redone to "blend" with the other Trek kits AMT was selling at the time. This caused some people to wonder if the ship was featured in a Trek episode.
A couple of fews ago Round2 obtained the rights and the original molds to sell the the kit again. They pacakged it as the "Interplanetary UFO" in the original "long" box. Lates last year. Round2 packaged standard "opaque" plastic pieces and sold it it in its original incarnation, the "Leif Ericson". Round2 even included a lighting kit for the egines, a feature of the first kit, though they replaced the original "grain of wheat" bulbs for solid state LEDs.
Sincerely,
Bill
P.S. By the way, your caption is a heck of a lot funnier than mine. I hope you win.
P.P.S. Here's a link to a site discussing the model kit in detail...

Scotty: Och laddie, trust an old Aberdeen pub crawler, I can tell from the way ye walk many a man has been there before.
Kelly: "So you were the one who took Len's bike?"
Shatner: "A little slow on the uptake, aren't we De?"
Sulu: "Aw, pretty lights."
Chekov: "Vat preetty lights? I tink dat vas Enterprise."
Scotty: "Aye Captain must of completed the Self Destruct."
McCoy: "Good lord. I hope he got off in time."
Saavik: "I know I sure did...er....don't ask."
Kirk: "Yep, I see it too. Try some glass cleaner and a paper towel."
Sulu: "Klingon vertabraezor! She's arming torpedoes!"
Kirk: "They've got a new ship class?!?"
Sulu: "Nah....but when people hear me run 'bird of prey, sir' all together like that in the tv previews for the movie, they're gonna think so."
Kirk: "There! That distortion! Do you see it?!?"
Sulu: "What the hell do you expect? Dumb-as-f*ck Starfleet buys all these ships with a big-ass Dish on the front, but then still contracts with Time Warner Cable! Morons...."
Shatner: "Dee, one more round of 'The Ballad of Bilbao Baggins' and I'm going to be forced to strangle you!"
Kelley: "What are you bitchin' about, mister 'Mimsy Were The Borogoves'?"
McCoy: "Well, this gives a whole new meaning to 'slash and burn'."
Saavik: "I don't believe that even that large bottle of Visine will help our eyes ever be the same again!"
A chorus of agreeing moans and groans is heard....
And LOCKED! Sorry, guys!
