Like those posters in the t-shirt shop--"everything I needed to know about life
I learned from Star Trek..."
Here's something I gleaned from IMDB.com the other day--
the "Guess who's coming to dinner" line was suppose to be spoken by Uhura.
Nichelle Nicols balked--she stated that it was an 'intentional reference' to a
movie abour racism. This I did not know.
I also read on IMDB.com that Nichelle objected to the scene where she, as
communications officer, had to use lots of Klingon dictionaries to speak
Klingon--she said that her character was the communications officer for many
years--Uhura would have picked up 'passable Klingon' I agree--it was a
throwaway joke that made Uhura look less than what she is.
But it;s just a movie, and if we're griping about stupidity in movies, then
there's a whole list out there, baby!(1)

1-such as 'Heaven can Wait'--I mean, why go thru that whole ordeal to be told at
the end that you were going to foget who you were and be that other guy--it
ruined the movie. As well, as Ebert pointed out--who was to stop Bogart from
getting on the plane at the end of Casablanca--all the Nazis were dead--the exit
visas were irrelevant.
