What did Scotty say? (spoilers?)

Re: What did Scotty say?

This one TOS-era movie has more technobabble than all of classic TOS and TAS combined.:lol:

True, but it still fits in nicely with the way they did it. I didn't feel a "Lieutenant, please engage the 'expositionary statement for the more idiotic members of our viewing audience' plot device", or the "Troi Maneuver" as I like to call it.

Merging this with the other "What did Scotty say?"-type thread. Hold onto yer haggis...
 
Re: What did Scotty say?

You could purchase the book. This would clear it up for you.


Yeah, I was thinking about posting what the book says. Then I realized the final scene might have different dialogue.

The dialogue when Kirk gets swollen hands and Bones chases him with the hypospray is really different.

The book merely says "Ya eat nothing! Ya eat, like, a bean and you're done for the week!" (which is what I posted because I figured it would be the same but it is a bit different).

Yeah, I have the book right here, and it's not that great a passage, so I didn't post it.

Edit: Oops, crossed posts.

Good point.:lol:

Yeah, no B'Elanna Torres babble about the hyper-techno-chroniton emitters needing to be recalibrated to within 105 millicochranes or whatever. Was nice to see the new movie avoided most of the worst excesses of dialogue in the more recent series.

I could swear it was, "Ya git nothin'! Ya JarJar wanna-be, you're not in the sequel!" :guffaw:

At least Scotty's sidekick wasn't a Gungan.

Because that ALONE would have sunk the film to NEMESIS territory.
 
Another thing I noticed yesterday was during the final black hole scene when Kirk calls Scotty in Engineering to tell him he needs maximum warp, Scotty says "You bet yer ass, Captain!"

:lol: Fucking funny.
 
Now all we need in TREK XII is a scene of Pegg swigging from a flask of green alcohol.

BOOOO! :p

Oh yeah, that line was terrific! :lol:

Let's just hope Pegg's Scotty doesn't have a massive weight gain coupled with a gay porno moustache.
 
Although it sounds like Captain Picard, I'm pretty sure he's saying "Captain, I (or we) can't, the gravity well has got us!'. However, with the accent and noise int eh background, the "we can't" sounds like "icardnt"
 
Re: Did Scotty yell out "Captain Picard"? [spoilers]

I hated the inclusion of that word, made me cringe, there was no reason for it, for me, that one word lessened the movie due to its nature, I must protest its use.

Even going back to the original TOS, isn't "goddammit" a very Leonard H McCoy expression? I thought it served the purpose of further cementing Urban's wonderful take on the character. I was sitting there in the cinema, and after a while I started to see and hear the great DeForest Kelley. Urban was that good.

For me, it is the worse cursing you can do, "damning" God is a very evil thing, so I do protest it, and it was unnecessary.

That's the only one I have a problem with though in an otherwise great movie.

I don't like blasphemy, either, but when you indulge in worldly pleasures you have to expect it. I guess the noble thing to do would be to stop watching Trek.
