A Scottish character played by an actual Scotsman!! As a fellow Scot and a trekkie I am stoked for this.

Wasn't he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

I find I am delighted with Quinn’s Scotty.

I could have waited another season for him to be introduced - but I also could have been happier if SNW wasn’t so laser-focused on building the backstory of legacy characters vs giving us more of the new ones - and the cipher that was Number One.

Anyways…

Here’s a complication of TAS Scott images. I think that TAS Scotty looks somewhat in between Quinn and Doohan.

Nae spoilers yet, watchin Monday nicht wi mates

Nimoy: Welshie!
Fry: Welshie?
Nichols: We did some musical reunion specials in the 2200s but the guy who played Scotty had trouble yodelling.
Takei: Ever since then, Welshie has been a welcome participant in our escapades.
Welshie: Aye, dwi wedi meddwi'n chwil!
