Scott Atwell Star Trek Discussion thread (Series and Films) (5 Viewers)

[Nelson Au]

Guys, I've been really busy recently, so I didn't post a question yet as Scott suggested.I do have something in mind, but I haven't made up a list of all the answers yet. I know the general answers. So in the interest of keeping this going, I'll post it. Scotty has been featured often in the series and as Lee has learned, James Doohan became a valued actor to the series. Name all the instances I which Scotty is actually doing his job; tools in hand, getting dirty and repairing things or making things work.

I'll start with The Devil In the Dark.

 

[FanCollector]

The Naked Time.

 

[Ockeghem]

How about The Doomsday Machine and The Changeling?

 

[FanCollector]

That Which Survives and The Enterprise Incident.

 

[Nelson Au]

Yes sir! You do have a spare answer to a PXK circulating question!3 to 3. Though I wasn't totally sure about The Changling. Scotty is seen in Engineering and ordering his men to watch their panels. So it probably counts.Great start guys!

 

[Ockeghem]

Nelson,Thanks Nelson. I figured that any episode in which Scotty mentions the polymass and the unifactor has to count. After all, he only mentioned those in two episodes.

 

[FanCollector]

He helps put the new panels together in Where No Man Has Gone Before.

Sigh...Just watched Jeopardy! and in the category "In the Smithsonian," one of the clues was (paraphrased): Logically enough, this weapon from Star Trek.First contestant guess: "What is a stun gun?"Second contestant guess: "What is a light saber?"Third contestant didn't guess.

 

[Nelson Au]

I had another great laugh from your comical retelling of the hapless Jeopardy contestants. I know you probably didn't really mean it to be comical given how easy the clue was. My reaction is, as my old boss would say: The youth of today!

 

[Nelson Au]

Aye, you're a talented trivia player! Where No Man counts!

 

[FanCollector]

No, no. I meant it to be about 80% funny and 20% tragic. (If it makes you feel any better, these three were not exactly mowing down the rest of the clues either.)

 

[Ockeghem]

Lee,

You didn't bite (post #10126 above). You've got two days left to bite.

 

[FanCollector]

By "bite," do you mean losing my mind trying to think of the other episode? Already happening...

 

[Nelson Au]

Great, a trivia question within the trivia question!

 

[Ockeghem]

Lee,

I thought you were going to write, "Those were only mentioned in one episode." In which case, you would be correct.

 

[FanCollector]

That's what I thought!! Thank you for releasing me...

 

[Ockeghem]

Hey guys,

I think a viewing of Amok Time is in order for me tonight, given that it's our favorite Vulcan's birthday today.

[Nelson Au]

Happy Birthday. Surely, the best of times.

 

[FanCollector]

Scott had various things to get working in Space Seed.And yes, of course, a very happy birthday to Mr. Nimoy. (And to William Shatner, whose 83rd was on Saturday.)
