He's Scottish, it has to be Wee Scotty!

In my mind Karl Urban was the perfect recreation of McCoy, but I hope we get one on SNW

Actually I thought Gary Sinise would be perfect as McCoy the first moment I saw him, in Forrest Gump.

That’s not one I ever considered before

I always say don’t fight the ship that’s sailed… But all I ever wanted from SNW was… *Pike*’s crew. I was sad to see Scotty but heartbroken for McCoy. Plus: Mark Piper?

If they were going to introduce him it should’ve been rather than M’Benga

I’m happy to include these textures give the time span, as long as they are smart & intentional about it. Same with Kirby/Chapel/Spock/T’Pring.

I’m still waiting for Marie to turn into the type of Gorn from Arena any minute

😂 Everyone keeps saying that. Kirk's "Arena" Gorn was called a "Gorn captain." It's still my surviving canon-smoothing now (and apology for the slowest combat ever) that Gorn ship captains are honored, arthritic elders (including the jaw!), and that accounts on both points for the difference.

I’ll take your word for it until I see different then. Lol

I love Martin Quinn, but this Scotty seems too young. He should be older than Kirk.

Same. This is what I keep saying in my channel’s #SecondOpinion : Scotty is due one helluva trauma in the next 4 years: aging, cynicism, gravitas, drinking, and 4 inches height. 🫣🫨😧😬😁 Spock is about to hit his emo-trauma wall, as well. 🤓🧐

SNW also seems to be forgetting Scotty has ten years on Kirk & Spock. 2222 vs 2230 & 2233.

Yes. THIS is why I'm clinging to a BIG AGING TRAUMA for Babyt Scotty here. And why I am PLEADING not to cast a McCoy. #letpiperlive

Yes. And *definitely* not Chekov. He's 16 right now. We haven't had Jeffery Combs in post-2017 Trek, yet. Maybe as Mark Piper?

I've unfortunately forgotten who I've poached that term from, but it's such a perfect fit for Martin Quinn's Scotty!

Ive been screaming for Baby McCoy this whole season lol

You do you, but…. Oh no. Please no. 🫣 #letmarkpiperlive

Fair enough! Although with M'Benga already there I really wanna know how all these doctors shift around

Exactly. M’Benga is now 100x the character we had w 2 guest spots. Does he just leave the 1701 —or Starfleet in total? And why go… and then return?

Unless he's forced to step down as CMO for some reason but stays on the crew? I'm hoping we get to see Jose Tyler, Mia Colt and Phil Boyce before SNW ends.

Well, those three are all a part of 2254, not seen from 2257 onward. If they show up now, it needs to not be from just popping out of some room like Romulan La'an.

100% We need Lt. Colt, LCdr Jose Tyler and Chief of Starfleet Medical Phil Boyce. Maybe Boyce says "Yeah, I know a doctor down in Georgia. A bit of a curmudgeon, but maybe he can be convinced to join on."

If so, yes. And yet — none of these are so precious, we HAVE ot have them> Keeps getting back to a feel that there's only about 300 in all of Starfleet.

Agreed. It'd be fun, though.
