What did Mirror-Kirk say?

Violins or violence aside, I find the DVD transcripted dialogue problematic. One example in particular comes to mind:

In a DVD I have of The Doomsday Machine the transcripted text has Spock saying something like (I recall the error more clearly than the exact dialog line):

"It [the planet killer] seems to be drawn to our power cells."

While my not-at-all-Vulcan ears clearly hear:

"It seems to be drawn to our power nacelles." [i.e. - the two upper cylindrical projections aft of the main saucer disc.]

Not a big deal I suppose, but how much more difficult would it have been to get it right.

Actually, it's "the energy generated by our power nacelles seems to attract it."
 
I haven't watched it for a while, but I swear that at one point in the film "The Killer", our hero drives past a hospital called "The Scared Heart" :lol:

The remote for the DVD player I watched it on had been lost, so I had to watch it with English language and subtitles were on at the same time, with some interesting differences in the two.
