idkipoststuff I'LL PROTECT YOU, FAIR MAIDEN. SORRY, NEITHER. did... did she really say that? iconic "Excuse You, i am Black and i F---" Skoalastick OTO Best part: this was improv. George wasn't supposed to have a line there, he was supposed to brandish the sword, grab her and leave. George decided to ad-lib a line because he thought it was funny and that it was in character. So Nichelle had no idea that George was about to say anything. They start the take, George leaps over there, grabs her and says his line. And Nichelle Nichols, not Lt Uhura, looks at him with That Look on Her Face, and in two iconic words lets the world know what she and Lt Uhura are about. Source: quarkgender 44,539 notes

he If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Once you've ruled out the Impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be true. How poetic. Alright, Spock, just take it easy. What's funny about this is that in Star Trek he's quoting Sherlock Holmes, but in Sherlock he's quoting Spock. Although the original quote was from Sherlock Holmes. It was used in TOS and then in Star Trek (2009) as a reference to SH. Then in Sherlock 2x02, Sherlock says it and John calls him 'Spock' as though it's a reference to Star Trek and Wibbly Wobbly Inception of the quote, yo. Canonically Spock is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes. Wait, really? ^^^^ Yep. Star Trek 6 Spock says "An ancestor of mine once said 'If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth."
STAR TREK S ENTERPES C-1701 STAR TREK To estimate how many bottles of Jim Beam the original "Star Trek" transporters could handle, we can consider the mass capacity of transporting five people. Assuming an average weight of 70 kg per person, the transporter could handle approximately 350 kg. A standard bottle of Jim Beam weighs about 1.2 kg, including the liquid and glass. Therefore, the transporter could theoretically handle around 290 bottles of Jim Beam at once.

I'll try and explain it as best I can.

By responding "neither" to the term "fair maiden" she's saying she's neither "fair skinned" nor a "maiden." I think in a lot of old fashioned media "fair" typically meant "a fair skinned woman" who was usually white, and "maiden" means "an unmarried young woman" who would also likely be a virgin. So by saying she's "neither fair nor a maiden" she's saying "I'm black and I'm not a dainty virgin."
