Line 14:
*If an actor has repeated trouble with a line or word. In [[A Private Little War (TOS episode)|an episode]] of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'', according to [[William Shatner]], his fellow actor [[DeForest Kelley]] had trouble pronouncing an alien creature's name. The creature's name was "Gumato", but Kelley kept saying "Mugato". The monster eventually became officially known as the Mugato.
*To make late changes to the script. In [[The Battle (TNG episode)|an episode]] of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', [[LeVar Burton]] and [[Brent Spiner]] originally said the USS ''Stargazer'' was a [[Constitution class starship (Star Trek)|"''Constitution''-class" starship]], but in post-production, it was decided to show a previously unseen class of starship. The dialogue was re-dubbed with the words "[[Constellation class starship (Star Trek)|''Constellation''-class]]," partly due to the similarity of the words ''constitution'' and ''constellation''.
*[[Adult Swim]] series ''[[Rick and Morty]]'', uses retroscripting but mostly for Rick's dialogue, which mostly consists of nonsense and blabbering due to the character's drunken behavior.
