He's a fun, drunken Scotsman who gets into trouble for it nearly as many times as his expertise saves the day. So why is he kicking the write-ups bucket so soon when certain problematic characters remain? It's rather the same raw deal that has been handed to Uhura. Namely, I don't really care about the guy in most instances and I don't remember a ton of his scenes. Amusingly, the actor is more interesting than the character again, because James Doohan fought in World War II and James Doohan World War II stories are wild. Absolutely wild. I like a lot of Scotty scenes. Especially in the movies. But I'm forever filled with a sense of slight apathy toward a lot of TOS and this corners and subdues poor Scott. "Hello, computer" is a timeless scene from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which is pretty damn ironic when considering that a lot of Scotty's "lol, he's from the 23rd century!" misunderstandings over a 1986 IBM computer are bizarrely relatable today. Scotty also shows up on TNG's "Relics", which is a very good episode only marginally diminished by Geordi. In the Kelvinverse movies, Simon Pegg plays Simon Pegg, which is fortunate enough considering Simon Pegg is in some ways Montgomery Scott. He remains a fun bloke with some decent moral convictions occasionally tested by his appetite for pleasure. He has a little alien sidekick played by, I kid you not, a guy named Deep Roy. Said alien is often misinterpreted as some kind of pygmy Jem'Hadar; he is not, in fact, a pygmy Jem'Hadar. --- Hi! I'm Quinton.
