Star Trek was way more edgy than I remember!

James T. Kirk: So what type of combat training do you have?
Hikaru Sulu: Fencing.

Spock: I intend to assist in the effort to reestablish communication with Starfleet. However, if crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise. Excuse me.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: [as Spock leaves] Green-blooded hobgoblin...

Lt. Nyota Uhura: I'm impressed. For a moment there, I thought you were just a dumb hick who only has sex with farm animals.
James T. Kirk: Well, not only.


James T. Kirk: Well, I hate to break this to you, but Starfleet operates in space.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Yeah. Well, I got nowhere else to go, the ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I got left is my bones.

Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: How old are you?
Pavel Chekov: I'm 17.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Oh good, he's 17.



Spock Prime: You are, in fact, the Mr. Scott who postulated the theory of transwarp beaming?
Scotty: That's what I'm talking about! How do you think I wound up here? Had a little debate with my instructor on relativistic physics and how it pertains to subspace travel. He seemed to think that the range of transporting something like a... like a grapefruit was limited to about 100 miles. I told him that I could not only beam a grapefruit from one planet to the adjacent planet in the same system - which is easy, by the way - I could do it with a life form. So, I tested it out on Admiral Archer's prized beagle.
James T. Kirk: Wait, I know that dog. What happened to it?
Scotty: I'll tell you when it reappears. Ahem. I don't know, I do feel guilty about that.

Spock: Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Spock, Captain. All ships ready for warp.
Christopher Pike: Set a course for Vulcan.
Hikaru Sulu: Aye-Aye, Captain. Course laid in.
Christopher Pike: Maximum warp. Punch it.
Hikaru Sulu: [One by one, the rest of the star fleet jumps into warp drive, leaving the Enterprise behind. Sulu frowns at the console, puzzled]
Christopher Pike: Lieutenant, where is Helmsman McKenna?
Hikaru Sulu: He has lungworms, sir. He couldn't report to his post. I'm Hikaru Sulu.
Christopher Pike: And you are a pilot, right?
Hikaru Sulu: Very much so, sir.
Hikaru Sulu: [he trails off, hitting buttons]
Hikaru Sulu: Uh, I'm not sure what's wrong here.
Christopher Pike: Is the parking brake on?
Hikaru Sulu: Uh, no. I'll figure it out. I'm just...
Spock: Have you disengaged the external inertial dampener?
Hikaru Sulu: [Embarrassed. Without looking at anyone, he punches in the correct sequence] Ready for warp, sir.
Christopher Pike: Let's punch it.

Pavel Chekov: Ensign Authorization code: nine-five-wictor-wictor-two!
[Authorization is not recognized]

James T. Kirk: I don't feel right. I feel like I'm leaking!

Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I don't need a doctor, damnit, I AM a doctor!
Flight Officer: You need to get back to your seat.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I had one. In the bathroom with no windows.


Christopher Pike: I couldn't believe it when the bartender told me who you were.
James T. Kirk: Who am I, Captain Pike?
Christopher Pike: Your father's son.

Christopher Pike: Be careful with the ship Spock, it's brand new...

Scotty: So, the Enterprise has had its maiden voyage, has it? She is one well-endowed lady. I'd like to get my hands on her "ample nacelles," if you pardon the engineering parlance...

Those lines are from the newest movie. So, Star Trek is way edgier now than you remember the original show being. Of course, the original show was pretty edgy too.

And Spock's line about eleminating the impossible is a Sherlock Holmes line.

Just to clarify, sounds like the most recent movie you're quoting from and not the original television series...

New-vs-old isn't fair--they're two different animals. Some are pretty upset about the liberties taken with the movie and the change in timeline because of it.

I remember the screen when Shatner was putting his shirt after doing the blonde yeoman in his cabin. I forget the episode though. I think that was the only reference made in the series about sex. you never see the old one anymore.

Can't confirm but I think the same line was used in Star Trek VI as well.

Probably. Me, I prefer "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands," but that's a different detective entirely.

Cool, but how long is 40 femtoseconds? I don't think it will used to transport any whales into the future soon ...

40 one millionth of one billionth of a second. Not long at all.

But we could make a reactor vessel out of it.
