ST VI question
William Ian Gasarch
Just tell me politely if this is the case and I'll post
to the correct one.)
In Star Trek VI there is ONE LINE that I can't make out
on my video tape.
When some female character suggests that they get
some Romulan Ale to help the dinner with the klingons
go more smoothly, just as Kirk is about to step
off the bridge he says
``... thinking ...''
Probably something LIKE ``good thinking officer'' but
its NOT that. I can't quite make it out.
Please email to gas...@cs.umd.edu and/or include
the word `gasarch' in your response to the net
so I can search for it easily.

Yeah, he says, "officer thinking, lieutenant."
It's a compliment.

The Character is Lt. Polaris and having watched ST:VI earlier today I
beleive Kirk says "Officer Thinking Lieutenant" I know he says
Lieutenant but I am not sure about Officer.

Auspicious(sp) thinking lieutenant.
Also, I sounds right and it make sense considering the dialog.

I believe, as you've probably heard by now, the line was "Officer
thinking Lieutenant."

Actually, the character is Lt. Valeris (who replaced Sulu at the helm).
Kirk says to her "Officer thinking Lieutenant". I think this was meant as a
compliment to her.

It was "Offensive thinking, Lieutenant," wasn't it?

OH FOR THE LOVE OF....
APPOSITE thinking. APPOSITE, as in APT, as in "appropriate or suitable in the circumstances."
If you speak the English langauge, it's really not that difficult. Star Trek has often been written by very literate people with good, adult vocabularies. And so this.

>> Reading replies below, I think the suggestion that Kirk's reply is "Officer thinking, Lieutenant" makes the most sense. I amended the IMDB synopsis to reflect that today, 10-11-13. Thanks for opening the original topic -- this thing has dogged me for a long time!

Very hard to believe he is saying "apposite" there! Maybe it would
have been a better word choice, but I don't think it's what they went with :)
