What if Scotty is not actually Scottish, though?
Like, what if his name just happens to be Montgomery Scott, so all of his friends started calling him “Scotty,” and then every time he was introduced to a new person, they would be like “Oh, are you Scottish? My uncle was Scottish!”
And finally, he just gets sick of explaining the situation, so he starts replying with “aye, laddie!” But then it turns out that the person he said that to was Captain Kirk, and he doesn’t want to admit that he lied to his new commanding officer, so he has to keep speaking in a ridiculously over-the-top brogue and commenting constantly on how much he loves drinking Scotch, and by the time that he realises that Kirk would have found humour in the situation, he’s in too deep and can’t stop pretending, and it gradually just becomes his normal speech pattern.
Then, years later, the Enterprise is being inspected by a Starfleet engineer who’s actually Scottish, and Scotty takes him on a walking tour of his warp engines and is all like “Auch! Here be me wee bairns!” and the other engineer is just like “what the fuck is wrong with you?”
I take the fact that James Doohan is Canadian as evidence of this theory.
The scary thing is that Starfleet probably needs a separate support group for “people who have accidentally lived decades/entire lifetimes in alternate realities until it turned out it was just an hour in the real world.”
What? Oh, no, you’re looking for the “I was caught in a timeloop and went insane” support group. That’s next door.
“Mirror Universe trauma”? Down the hall.
“Dealing With My Duplicate Self” meets on Thursdays.
(O’Brien just attends all of them. If it hasn’t happened, it’s probably going to.)
some of my favorite funny spirk moments from the original series. subtitles included. enjoy!
Sometimes a family is a starship captain with a death wish, a dad-joke cracking commander with marvelous facial structure, a severely telepathic space pixie, a space troll who cooks, a Serious grandpa who pretends like he doesn’t tell bad puns on the sly because he’s Serious, an underappreciated Handsome Boy, a history nerd with a car fetish, an angry smart lady who would LIKE EVERYONE TO STOP TOUCHING HER STUFF THANK YOU VERY MUCH, an asshole opera singer, and a recovering former cult member that everyone has a crush on
Remember that episode of Voyager where the entire crew was basically begging Janeway to sleep with the hot holodeck 1800s Irish villager and she was like “noo o ooo I couldn’t possibly !” and they were just like “PLEASE captain you’re SO horny PLEASe.”
Happy threshold day everybody!!! Happy 25th birthday lizard babies!!! It is 25 right? Times flies
You ever invite your coworker to watch you give birth just to spite a racist
I really really want the new star treks like strange new worlds to include some just bat shit crazy episodes. Like I, Mudd from tos where they confuse androids into destruction by dancing around to no music. Or the tribble episode. Or the ds9 episode where they have a full on casino heist, or start a baseball team. Or the captain proton episode on voyager where Janeway has to pretend to be queen arachnia. Like. Give me some episodes like that
Star Trek: Voyager Bride of Chaotica!
Star Trek! The original series, the next generation, voyager, deep space 9, lower decks, and strange new worlds. Hopefully I'll get around to the others some day. Sometimes I'll post something else. Let's build a world we can be proud of!
