As Kirk helped a soaking wet Scotty to his feet a dozen short orange aliens rushed into engineering.
Short Orange Aliens: (In unison) Oompa loompa doopity doo.

"Shit, I gotta bugger in my nose. How am I going to get it out?"
Uhura sticking out her toung.."I'll help, and by the way..its Nyota."

Okay, that's made me feel ill. Not sure it's a threshold of bad taste you wanted to cross, but there you are.

Makes me very glad that Star Trek is the only movie I've watched in a long time...
In another thread, Dennis made comments which reminded me about how the writers' strike had prevented Abrams from adding an impromptu line into the script.
So my question to you good people (and angry bastards) is:
"What was that line?"
There is no doubt in my mind (and all of yours, too) that Star Trek XI will suck to high heaven solely because of the exclusion of that very line.
"But maybe he added the line back in later, Cogley, after the strike was over."
No! He did not!
The way the Writer's Guild works is that the line of dialog is tied permanently back to the moment that the author of that line thought of it. So, even though the strike is over, any thoughts that were generated during that time period are forever forbidden, like the Lambada. In fact, if anyone accurately predicts what the missing line was and prints it here, there is the very real possibility that the entire site will be shut down forever by Guild lawyers. So be careful.
So what was that precious line that could have saved Star Trek? And for wont of the line, the franchise was lost.
I'm going to go with: "THE WOMEN!"
What?? Is this true what you're saying that an idea can't be used because it was formed during the writers strike? That is the stupidest fuckin thing I've heard in some time. So private ideas in the minds of people employed in the writers guild are what...owned by the guild and not the people?
I don't understand that....and further to that I can't understand how anybody would abide by it. What a racket they got going on over there in Crapwood.
"Hello. My name is Spock. You killed my mother. Prepare to die."

Sarek's answer to young Spock's question as to why he married a human?
"Hey, I married your mother right after she broke up with Edward Scissorhands. Back when she was HOTTER THAN HELL!"
Yeah!!!
"Hey, I married your mother right after she broke up with Edward Scissorhands. Back when she was HOTTER THAN HELL!"

SAREK TO AMANDA:"Spock is not here right now, my wife. Can I suck your toes now?"
Ayel: "Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast."
Cockney Romulan: "It jumped up a notch."
Ayel: "It did, didn't it?"
Nero: "Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart."
Ayel: "I saw that. Nero killed a guy. Did you throw a trident?"
Nero: "Yeah, there were missiles, and a ship on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident."
Ayel: "Nero, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder. 20 years should do the trick."
