I love the term ‘we’re expecting’ when talking about pregnancy

-makemesmile:

because it makes it sound like there’s more than one outcome.

Yeah, we’re expecting a baby

but it could be a velociraptor

Alternate ending from the original STXI script

3 years late (lol) but OMFG WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T THEY KEEP THIS AS THE ENDING??? FREAKIN’ BEAUTIFUL & HEART WARMING X1000 HOLY FUCKING GOD…UGHHHHH I’M CONVINCED THAT THE WHOLE UHURA & SPOCK BULLSHIT IN THE MOVIE WAS SPECIFICALLY STAGED TO DISCOURAGE SLASHERS. UGH. FUCKING DISGRACE TO THE STAR TREK FRANCHISE IS WHAT IT WAS.

 ALTERNATE SCENE B 
 SPOCK PRIME            Then I ask that you do yourself a
           favor... put away logic, and do what
           feels right. The world you've inherited
           lives in the shadow of incalculable
           devastation... but there's no reason you
           must face it alone.

And from around his neck, he removes the PENDANT that until now,
we've only caught glimpses of. Places it on the table beside
his younger self. The feeling in his eyes is profound...

 SPOCK PRIME (CONT'D)            This was a gift to me.   Representing...
           a dream. One we were unable to fulfill.
                   (softly)
           The way you can now.

And moves to the door.    Stops.   Offers the VULCAN SALUTE:

 SPOCK PRIME (CONT'D)            As my customary farewell would appear
           oddly self serving, I will simply say...
           good luck.

Their eyes hold. Spock turns, disappearing into the corridor.
Young Spock stares at the empty doorway a beat, his mind a
jumble of thoughts. Looks to the pendant... and realizes it's a
HOLO-EMITTER. After considering a beat, he hits an activation
button and a MOVING HOLOGRAPHIC MESSAGE materializes before him:

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK. WILLIAM SHATNER.      As always, brash, wry,
confident -- and SINGING:

 KIRK/ SHATNER            Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to
           you...
                   (stops, grins)
           I know I know, it's illogical to
           celebrate something you had nothing to do
           with, but I haven't had the chance to
           congratulate you on your appointment to
           the ambassadorship so I thought I'd seize
           the occasion... Bravo, Spock -- they tell
           me your first mission may take you away
           for awhile, so I'll be the first to wish
           you luck... and to say...
                   (beat, emotional)
           I miss you, old friend.

... and we're PUSHING IN on Young Spock, taking in the image of
Kirk's future self, the message, but above all -- the clear,
unquestionable friendship these two men had...

INT. CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS 
As Spock Prime walks off down the corridor, he passes right by a
man conferring with a nurse -- the man pauses, turns... it's
SAREK. Suddenly overcome by a feeling that the stranger who's
just passed him is... oddly familiar.

 KIRK/SHATNER (V.O.)            I suppose I'd always imagined us...
           outgrowing Starfleet together. Watching
           life swing us into our Emeritus years...
