Signatures at the end of the film[]

I notice nothing has been mentioned in the article about the sequence of signatures at the end of the film. I think it would be proper to include this, either at the bottom of the synopsis or as part of the production notes. For best presentation, I figure a list of the names in order, with a slideshow on the right, would present this final part best. Any thoughts, concerns, reasons not to do this? —WhosAsking (talk) 14:16, July 8, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not aware of those, but that sounds like a notable thing and something that would be valuable to add. I'm guessing the Miscellaneous section of the background information section would be the correct place to add this. Those kinds of sections don't support the kind of layout stuff you're suggesting very well, but do your best and I'm sure if it can be better someone will come in and tweak it further. (if it's valid information, we'll just have to find a way, to include it) In short, I'd say go for it! -- Capricorn (talk) 17:53, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Reboot reference?[]

Found on the "Story and production" section:

"In the alternate reality of Star Trek Into Darkness, Uhura — who may have had a different education from that of the Prime Uhura — does speak Klingonese (or as she and Captain Kirk refer to it, "Klingon"). "

Or the real life explanation, which is... JJ Abrahms admittedly never watched or conerned himself with the original Trek. He didn't know or care about continuity in the slightest. They were money maker action movies.

You'd have to devote an entire webpage to trying to explain every continuity problem those movies cause. It's so not even worth the effort to try and shoehorn them into canon at all. --Julie Bee (talk) 21:38, October 3, 2016 (UTC)

Constitution Engineering, or Excelsior?[]

Watching Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country I was always under the impression that this represented the USS Excelsior's warp core rather than that of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A). It is obvious that it is really the Galaxy class warp core built for the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), standing in for another ship. As the warp core of the Constitution class refit was shown already, and looks a fair bit different and horizontal with respect to the deck layout rather than vertical as seen in this picture, I would assume this to be a different ship, logically the Excelsior as it also is in the battle at the end of Star Trek VI and we had never seen its engine room.

Is there evidence that this must be the engineering of the Enterprise NCC-1701-A rather than Excelsior NCC-2000? ВорЧа (talk) 14:36, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

Yes - there are several other shots in the movie that depict this arrangement, where the design is clearly connected with the E-A. For example, http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/tuchd/tuchd0340.jpg (from the launch from Spacedock at the start of the film), and http://movies.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/tuchd/ch12/tuchd2171.jpg (from the E-A's approach to Khitomer). In addition, the shot pictured in this image occurs before the Excelsior arrives on the scene, so there isn't even an association with it there. -- Michael Warren Talk 14:55, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

Good to know that it is correct then. --ВорЧа (talk) 20:15, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

Name of actor[]

Do we know who played the alien whose genitals are in his knees? Btouburg (talk) 11:14, April 22, 2018 (UTC)

This isn't the place for genital, err, general questions, but it's Dennis Ott. -- Capricorn (talk) 20:18, April 22, 2018 (UTC)

Very funnny! I knew that this isn't the place. Nevertheless thank you very much. Btouburg (talk) 20:32, April 22, 2018 (UTC)

Next time try our Reference Desk. -- Capricorn (talk) 20:39, April 22, 2018 (UTC)

'Let's go' or 'It's cold'?[]

When Kirk and McCoy are greeted on the Enterprise after being beamed up from Rura Penthe, after McCoy emphatically shoots down any notion of beaming back down, Kirk's line is a bit hard to make out. Currently, the article text has him saying' 'It's cold', but I do not believe that is true. I've watched the film several times and I'm fairly certain that he says 'Let's go'. The script on Trekcore has him saying 'Come on', so that isn't much help. I've edited the article to reflect this before, but it was reverted at some point. I realize that not everyone watches the film the same way (with similar sound systems), so it might sound like one or the other to different people. Has there ever been definitive confirmation on what is actually said? Captain Spadaro (talk) 17:46, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

It was changed to "It's cold..." in the 27 February 1991 revision page of that script vs. the (at least) 12 day older version on trekcore you saw. –Gvsualan (talk) 18:35, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Okay, that's fair. Captain Spadaro (talk) 06:21, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Where is the actual cast list?[]

There doesn't seem to be a full cast list, only the list of uncredited actors and crew. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Romulusnr (talk • contribs).

Click/tap on the "credits" header. It opens up the full credits. -- Sulfur (talk) 10:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

No mention of gas detection equipment in "To the Stars"[]

The article currently states: "According to George Takei's autobiography To the Stars, early drafts did feature the Excelsior discovering the Bird-of-Prey's weakness and using their gaseous anomaly equipment to find it."

I have my copy of To the Stars here, and I can't find any mention of this. Does someone have any further information? This same claim appears in the trivia for the film on IMDB and I can't find another source to back it up.The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mfnickster (talk • contribs).

The edition of the book I have doesn't have any mention of that in chapter 28 (the one about ST6), nor does it mention much about early drafts of many scripts at all. I Think that this is an erroneous addition, likely sourced from IMDb. -- Sulfur (talk) 14:48, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
