Despite the on-set media blackout, sources close to the Star Trek production have let slip an exciting tidbit: geek icon Kevin Smith and his frequent on-screen companion Jason Mewes will be appearing in a brief on-screen cameo as two ensigns operating under the command of Montgomery Scott. While Smith’s character will maintain his trademark silence, Mewes will be heard asking Scotty “What the hell is a bairn? If it’s a slutty chick, can I f**k her?”

Smith has frequently referred to the Star Wars films in his movies, so his Star Trek-related appearance is well worth noting.
