Star Trek movie question

[donutsweeper]

Just saw it.

Quick, unspoilery question- What's the name of Scotty's sidekick? Was he ever named?

Thanks to _medley_, I've learned the answer is apparently Keenser. Woot- the actor was in Doctor Who! (The Talons of Weng-Chiang)

Only he and Simon Pegg (Scotty) have Doctor Who ties though. :(

Yeah, but the both totally stole every scene they were in.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

very very true

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

LOL..."I like this ship!".

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

As much as I liked Scotty, I was kind of glad he wasn't in more. The movie was crowded enough as is

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I feel they were trying to put a bit too much fan service in there.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it would have been better if it could have distanced itself a bit more. Less cutesy references to TOS, that sort of thing.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Then they could've spent more time on the plot.

Although, I have to admit, I would've been upset if they hadn't gotten Bones' "I'm a doctor, not a ____" in there, somehow.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*hee* good point. But his reason for the nickname Bones was stupid.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yeah...but those two were ADORABLE together.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they really were, two friends who had spent WAY too much time together

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I just love pretty much any scene where those two interact.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I didn't see the slash between the two though (although I'm sure there is TONS) Oddly, the only pair I could see with slash chemistry was Pike/Kirk

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I mostly just liked the way those two played off each other so well.

Now that you mention, I can definitely see that chemistry in there.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

See? *phew* it's not just me then

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Of course, now I want to go watch, again.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oh the *horrors*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I know, such a task, watching all those pretty people.
