Except that TNG was 3 years away and 'Relics' years beyond that. Prescient they weren't.

Speaking of Excelsior, the people screaming and jumping across the bridge after Chang's 'uppercut' torpedo to Excelsior's saucer, that has got to be the worst "ship movement" overacting in any of the Trek movies. Sulu obviously sat good in his chair, these other four guys must've had Downs syndrome or something...

Well of course they weren't to know what was to come - but it harken's back nicely to the pride he had for the Enterprise. See "The Troubles with Tribbles" for example.

Any any case, it's not like Scotty's pride for the Enterprise was a hidden trait. It's not bad dialogue, but it's also slightly overexplaining the point being made.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. 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.

That was bad but my personal favorite has always been the one guy at the back of the Enterprise bridge in TWoK who reacts two seconds later then everyone else and jumps to the right after Khan comes back for another pass in the first battle. I always crack up at that.
