We love the Daily News here...really any of our local news sources. There's a nice article on the upcoming Rose Parade floats.
Celebrate the Rose Parade presented by Honda and Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential in Pasadena, CA on January 1, 2026.
The writer is definitely not a fan of
Star Trek. She gets iconic locations used in Star Trek on the float
totally correct with Vasquez Rocks (where Captain Kirk fights a Gorn)
and the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco (where Starfleet
Headquarters is supposed to based). What she just misses the mark on is
the famous saying associated with the series with her version:
“beam me up, Scott”
Just
add a "y" to Scott and you would have had it. "Beam up Scotty!", is the
correct line, though it's a misquotation as no one has ever said it in
Star Trek. People just use it and it's a nice way of saying, "Get me
out of here." Listen we get it, it was just a mistake, we've probably
done it a lot too, but you're editors not catching it... tells me they
aren't fans of Trek either.
She updated it, but here's the original to prove I'm not crazy.

"Like the famed empire that Francis Ford Coppola’s epic passion project is styled after, MEGALOPOLIS is a towering, monumental spectacle that most people will think about at least once a day. The City of New Rome is at a crossroads. At one end sits Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver), the idealistic artist striving for a utopian future, and at the other sits Mayor Franklin Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito), a powerful figure perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Their titanic struggle will shake the foundations of their city and lay the groundwork for a new tomorrow."
