Even today we all know that Powerpoint has killed paper dead, and you can't even find a printer or a copy machine in today's modern office. And books? Supplanted by Palm Pilots.

quote:Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: As I recall, two scenes from Star Trek VI were re-inserted for the video release. I know the revelation of the assassin's true identity was one, and I believe that Sol is right -- "Op: Retrieve" was cut from the film version. I also remember Rene Auberjonis talking in an interview about filming his scenes for Star Trek VI, only to have all his on-screen time cut.
I seem to recall that the other scene added was torpedo bay scene featuring Spock, Scotty and Valeris. It may have been left out for one of two reasons. First, when Valeris slides down a pole into the bay, she bumps he wall, which visibly shakes. Second, Scotty recites the line, "I'll bet that Klingon bitch killed her father!" which some people feel is both out of character and rather sexist...an unenlightned comment from one of our otherwise noble heroes.

And Kirk's "Let them die!" wasn't? Of course, Shatner then did a reaction shot (edited out by Meyer, and not replaced despite all his pleas) meant to show he couldn't actually believe he'd just said that. . .

Maybe the Operation Retreive poster was something they drew up in the hallway and they kept it on paper for security reasons so that the klingons or anyone else wouldnt be able to access it. Then again that is kind of redundant considering it was the conspirators who wrote it up and then again they walked into the room with it just as the klingon ambassador (why the hell didnt they give that guy a name, even after 2 movies?!) was leaving the room, which SFC wasnt aware of as they walked into the room anyway.

Again, I'm certain it was Aberjonis' scenes that were cut. Despite the torpedo bay wall, the scene in the torpedo bay provided a well deserved moment of humor -- "That would be impossible, Mr. Scott, seeing as Klingons do not have tear ducts."

A fact completely ignored since. Good thing they kept to the pink blood though, eh?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, there was a reference to Khaless's tears making the seas overflow. And Worf may have cried when Jadzia died, not sure there.

Perhaps lack of tear glands and pink blood had something to do w/ whatever made the Klingons look different in the 2260s than at any other time. As they regrew their ridges throughout the late 23rd century, they also were regrowing their lachrymal glands, and their blood was gradually turning back to red.

I didn't literally mean that the oceans on Quo'nos were pink, but that the Klingons were likely to make comparisons of water being as essential to the "life" of their world as blood is to a body, and hence, the "tears of Kahless" line.
