Strange dialog errors

[Nardpuncher]

In Day of the Dove when Scotty says to Spock "Get your Vulcan hands off me!" he says it so strongly that if you try you can let yourself hear "Get your f#cking hands off me!"

Here you can see he says it at 0:25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8NgVf0mADM

Haha! I love the stock-floating-ball-of-energy-emotion-sapping-right-wing entities!

it's TOE-MAH-TOE! POE-TAY-TO! LES-YURE! MOE-BILE! *grumblegrumblegrumble*

It is a regional/country thing(but yes - LEE - SYURE suits and MOE - BULL make my teeth ache from all the grinding ).

For instance - we really get to know "Resistance is futile" from Locutus' pronunciation.

Thus, since it is the English Patrick Stewart saying it, we hear,

"Resistance is fyoo TILE".

It sounds definitive and very intimidating.

I LOATHED how every person that says it afterwards, whether in voice over for the Borg or otherwise says it in the American style that comes across as,

"Resistance is feudal"


I always remember wondering what a medieval farming lifestyle(or is that life - stahl?)had to do with assimilation from the Borg.

i believe Seven's the only Borg whoever said 'Fyoo-tul'. IIRC, Data also says it that way in FC. most of the time, they do say fyoo-tile

In Generations, when Picard and Riker are talking about how they'll track the missile in time before it hits the star. Riker says they have a big margin of error, to which Picard answers its too big. If they have a big margin of error, theres no ******* problem! How did the production staff/actors miss that?!?

I have got one that bugs the crap out me, how many decks does the Enterprise-E have? I have heard three different answers to this question, two of which are from the same movie. In First Contact Picard say that she has 24 decks but early on one of the security people said that the Borg controlled decks 11 through 26. Further more when the Reman idiots in Nemesis beam on to deck 29 to capture Picard who is on the bridge(hopefully deck 1). I still want to know how many bloody deck the Sovereign class vessel has.

Freaky British friend of mine pronounces porthole and portal as if it was the same word.

 

[JoeFromEarth]

There's always the name of our favorite android Data. So many people pronounced the word "daa taa" before hand. They did have fun with this inconsistency with Dr. Palaski later.

 

[RapidNadion]

In "Chain of Command I," when our heroes are undercover at the bar, it seems the script supe was snoozing at the craft services table, because Gates McFadden delivered Solok's name as "SOH-lick" the whole scene, while everyone else was content to pronounce it as the more-conventional "Soh-LOCK."

 

[FreddyE]

Throughout the seven seasons of TNG "status" is pronounced both as "stay-tus" and "sta-tus" but mostly the former by Picard and Riker. In TOS, Spock invariably pronounces "sensor" as "sen-sore"

Is stay-tus wrong? I think I learned it that Way...

 

[FreddyE]

Have you ever noticed any strange and bizzare dialog errors in Star Trek? Or lines you thought had an error in it but are actually correct..

for example: During Man Trap Uhura says to one guy "You´re Suaheli...

Have you ever noticed VERY strange writing mistakes in posts about strange Star Trek errors?

I think you mean "Swahili".

Not à writing mistake but wrong Language. Its spelled that way in my native Language (german)

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

One thing I've noticed is in Journey to Babel, Spock's mother mentions the name of Spock's "teddy bear" to Bones, and Bones asks again what it is using a completely different pronunciation.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Shatner pronounces "Orion" correctly in "Journey to Babel" (TOS), but calls them "O-ree-ons" in "The Pirates of Orion" (TAS).

I think there was a tendency in TOS for everyone to just memorize the line on their script and then not listen to what everyone else says, so they end up with their own pronunciations (Metrons, Sehlats, and Klingons all fell victim to this).

One thing that comes to mind is the "I'm Fine" at the end of Datalore. It had to either be an add-lib by Brent Spiner or something the director suggested (since it's not in the script), but it definitely wasn't a mistake. While I don't conceptually have any problem with Data using contractions, the spirit of the episode was emphasizing how he didn't. At one point, I had considered that it was deliberate ambiguity as to whether it was Data or Lore who was still on the ship, but that just seems too much. Considering Data didn't originally have any lines there, I think a screw up makes the most sense.

IIRC, from an old interview or report of a convention appearance, Spiner did it on purpose - to mess with our minds, and to suggest that Data had further developments possible.

I remember reading somewhere Chris Doohan related the story that his father was approached by the director of that episode, who pulled Jimmy Doohan aside and proposed exactly that!

Nah - it's fine. It's an alternative pronunciation, but "alternative" doesn't mean "wrong." In fact what constitutes a standard pronunciation can vary quite a bit from region to region, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are places where sta-tus is standard and others where stay-tus is. You'd generally expect an individual to consistently use one pronunciation or another, but there's nothing inherently wrong with one character saying it one way and a second character saying it the other way.
