Take off the rose-colored glasses fellas. That scene is as well-written as anything that's come before.....

I really didn't see anything particularly terrible about most of the quotes you posted. You took them out of context, which has the ability to make a lot of things sound dumb. I have always loved Khan's insane ramblings, I thought the one you quoted was quite good.

That cramps line is just Bones sense of humor. Even if these lines represent the worst of the old Trek movies dialogue, then I feel good knowing not one of them is half as bad as, "I like this ship! It is exciting!".
