Ha ha! I thought I was the only one thinking this! There must be some planet alignment going on or something! LOL


Since it was mentioned and I forgot about it, I'll add that the flushing of Scotty was a bit much for me too. I especially cringed when Kirk got the trap door opened just in time and Scotty came falling straight down accompanied by only about three cups of water, from the gigantic, hundreds-of-gallons-per-minute, Enterprise Water Slide. I know I'm really picking nits here, but come on! Would it have been so difficult to put a couple garden hoses up there, or a bigger bucket?

Not to mention that it even had an escape hatch just in case someone was accidentally teleported into the tube from a couple solar systems away (not to further mention that teleporting into a non-gaseous medium is quite the nifty trick according to the canon on the technology).

Alex... you should know better... the time-traveling Romulan miner changed the canon only from Kirk's birth on (the stuff that the average audience would notice). It was a time-traveling Ferengi shoe salesman who traveled back to the mid-21st century and changed everything else.

Well, yeah... if you want to get really picky...

BTW, as soon as they showed the Enterprise bridge my only thought was I wanted to see Yeoman Rand.

Well... There is the saucy little song she sings about him in Charlie X...

I am just in awe that so many people have a) seen this film and b) are participating in a thread that is now 146 posts long. It's just another NA clueless moment - of which there are many.

See! The world repeats. The Transformers thread is also peppered with NA popping in every once in a while to point out that she hasn't seen it and is surprised others have.

NA Prime is dead, replaced by NA'

Mel Brooks makes a cameo as Spock's cousin Spechala.

How do you know that the water in the non-transparent chamber he was transported into wasn't being held in some sort of gaseous suspension state. Sure that usually requires heat and pressure that a human couldn't survive, but it IS the future you know!

Cool! I've been looking for a replacement!

My husband is regularly clueless to me. Besides, what else what he going to do while I was hosting a quilting party? It IS a movie I wouldn't be mad that he saw without me.
