In the last scene, the first one with Kirk in a gold shirt. Pine did a passable William Shatner-esque “Bones!” Maybe he did in one of the Academy scenes too, but I am 100% certain that Captain Kirk calls McCoy “Bones.”
Dude, in the far future (a long, long time ago) don’t nobody fuck with Cisco’s union.

Poifect, that’s what I was looking for. Of course, it’s so distant from the “all she left me was my bones” quip that it could still **also **be a play on “sawbones.”
Dude, you missed the video reference.
This was partially answered by the show itself and the rest through fanwanking. Maintaining three manned interceptors full time on the moon was fantastically expensive. Straker wanted to expand Moonbase’s capacity to repel a mass attack and even the military/intelligence complex balked at the cost. The compromise was that they put remote mobile missile launchers scattered around the moon, and they were deployed the one time there was a mass attack. Wiki says that in that episode four manned interceptors were launched, one must have been kept in reserve. Apparently at the speeds typical of spaceflight if one interceptor’s missile wasn’t going to hit, it wouldn’t get a second chance.
Yup, it really is Shatner-esque. He greets McCoy on the bridge with a “Bones, buckle up”.
So are the crossed leg and twitchy foot when Kirk takes the center seat. I really, really enjoyed this goofy movie.
In the novelization by Alan Dean Foster they find that it’s been breaking into the food storage lockers.
I didn’t read “The Great Hoth Debate” in it’s entirety, but I have a couple of interesting ones:
The Matrix: If the agents can take over anyone still in the system, why didn’t they take over Neo during his initial meeting with Morpheus and kill everybody?
Star Trek: From the outside, obviously two engines. On the inside, one engine room.
Star Trek (2009): What are the odds that an egotistical vulcan and a crazed miner looking for revenge would pick the exact same planet, within a few hundred meters of each other, to abandon their prisoners?
A V-8 has one block and two heads. The Titanic had one engine room and three screws. B-17s had four engines and one place to control them from.
“One million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred ninety nine point nine nine nine nine…”
“Two million, Spock, Gawd dammit, the answer is two million!”
Snow Walkers: dumb idea.
Nobody saw them. Agents pop out of regular folks after those folks see Neo. That’s my guess.
Well, three actually.
One per Chief Engineer, of course!
Better than the odds of a third person both of the first two know being there as well, I think.
Didn’t the other guys remove the tracking bug Neo had in his belly before bringing him to Morpheus ? If so, well, they don’t know where the hell Neo is. Plus, he’s the One, dontcherknow.
re: Star Wars
Wouldn’t it have been awesome if the cloners in ep 2 made some reference to the stormtrooper’s terrible aim?
Cloner: Yes, we have raised them and trained them, although we skimped a little bit on target practice, I hope you don’t mind.
They did have Jango hit his head.
Also, I’d like to submit that blowing up Jupiter is a little harder than blowing up Earth. For one, larger, for two, much more solid. Solid things break easier. Thus, gonna have to wait to clear the gas giant to hit the moon.
Those are warp nacelles. A warp core is in the “engine room” (Main Engineering).
My car has one engine, but look! it has 4 wheels driving it. YMMV 
And yes, my car is all wheel drive.
Oh yeah, in ST:TNG and ST:E, there were eps with action taking place in the warp nacelles. TNGs was the one that had the latent murder memory in it and Es was some SPACE STORM! problem. There may be other scenes and eps that I’m not currently recalling due to Pon Farr issues in my life …
Oh, right the tracking bug. The one that is able to bend the real world laws of physics enough that it doesn’t kill, injure, or even cause pain to Neo while six inches of metal is wriggling around inside him, but still has to be massive enough in the Matrix-world to be physically grabbed and broken.
I’m not picking on you, specifically, Quercus but if literature were written so that it was logically sound and didn’t take any literary leaps of logic…it’d be pretty dull.
The tracking bug isn’t in the Real World – it’s in the Matrix world, and it can bend the rules all it needs to. In the Real World Neo is still wrapped up in his saline-solution cocoon.
