I would cautiously guess that would be because both previous versions of Scotty were scripted and directed to pronounce it that way.

One of those moments that really endeared me to this series. It really encapsulates the essence of exactly the kind of engineer Scotty was both in canon and out: capable of pulling extremely clever solutions out of his arse at a moment's notice and completely unafraid to kitbash something together when the situation calls for it. There's a reason he's THE engineer of the Enterprise, the standard by which the likes of Geordi, Trip, Torres, and O'Brien are judged. The captains of the Enterprise may be a pantheon, but amongst their engineers, there is but one god: Montgomery Scott.

[@astrofan1993]

@@Pintheshadows Which is ironic, because in Lower Decks, Chief O'Brien is regarded as the most important person in Starfleet history. But the thing that everyone needs to remember is that the general rule of thumb with Star Trek is that only the movies and television shows are considered canon. Thus, non-televised media, ranging from books, comics, games (especially video games), etc., are not canon, unless stated otherwise. And even then, that can be overwritten by the movies or TV shows (like how the Star Trek Countdown comic that served as a prequel/tie-in to the 2009 film was retconned with Season 1 of Picard, changing the Hobus star going supernova and destroying Romulus to the Romulan's own sun going supernova).

I'm almost unreasonably happy that they finally got someone playing a British person to use the correct pronunciation of Lieutenant. I know Stewart wanted to but the producers of TNG thought audiences would be too confused by it.

[@ImpendingJoker]

Except it's not a pronunciation thing at all. It's literally spelled Leftenant. They do that so they don't use the French word for the rank. You find a lot of that with the UK. They do stuff just to spite the French, and in Starfleet, it was based on the US Navy structure and customs, so Scotty saying Leftenant here is actually completely incorrect.

When I watch TOS, one of the things I notice is that, for all of Scotty's eccentricities, when it comes to getting the job done nobody is more professional than him, not even Mr Spock. Young Scotty seems a bit ... distractible, but he's still young. I look forward to this Scotty working with Pelia. They'll bump heads for sure, because Scotty is still a bit of a wild card (albeit a brilliant one), while Pelia sees the big picture in ways that nobody else does. This Scotty has the makings of being the finest engineer the Enterprise has ever seen, but he's not there yet; he doesn't quite have the discipline. But he can learn that under Pelia.

Supposedly when it came to the Kobayashi Maru test, Scotty was an absolute beast, destroying numerous ships deployed against him.

For this, Scotty was bounced out of the command track and into the engineering track, which is where he wanted to be in the first place.

What's especially cool about this is that they finally got a real Scotsman to play Scotty. James Doohan, as iconic in the role as he was, was Canadian. Simon Pegg is English. But Martin Quinn is actually Scottish, having been born in Paisley. Now they just need to make a new Star Trek series that takes place after Season 3 of Picard, and have David Tennant play a descendant of Scotty. But instead of being an engineer, he's a doctor (as a nod to his role as the Tenth and Fourteenth Doctors in Doctor Who), but still honoring his ancestor's legacy by seeing the human body as a form of organic machinery.

[@maj2813]

And both Tennant and Peter Capaldi for that matter are too skinny for the well built Montgommery Scott who was at least muscular before he bulked up.

[@astrofan1993]

@@maj2813 As I said, he would be a doctor, not an engineer. He would not need as much muscle as his ancestor, especially since he would be using advanced tech to do most of the work for him. And James Doohan wasn't the only one who gained weight since TOS. William Shatner also gained weight, to the point where he allegedly had to use a girdle (although there's no concrete evidence to support this) This was actually referenced in an episode of The Simpsons, where Comic Book Guy dressed as Captain Kirk and wore a corset, which rapidly loosened on him before breaking completely. He cycled through several of the movies (Star Trek I, II, V, and Generations) before ending at Boston Legal.

So are they really going to put all the original characters in this show? Funny how in TOS Spock was the only one who actually served with Pike, now it’s the whole damn crew.

[@Vipre-]

It was never actually said in TOS that only Spock served with Pike it was just mentioned he had. The only explicit change so far is that Kirk has met him more than once. It actually makes more sense that more have served with him as most of the crew when Kirk took command would've been made up of people already assigned to the ship. If they appeared in "Where No Man..." they probably served with Pike even if it was at the end of his captaincy.

It's Scotty!!!

[@ryansavage2733]

When Scotty first shows up, same music from aliens

[@peterjones2834]

The miracle man had arrived. Now just need Sulu McCoy and Checkov. Karl Urban was great has Bones.

[@notnoel8904]

Great Scotty actor but he doesn’t appear to be older than Kirk as he should be.

[@muzzdeni28]

So we will see Bones in the next season delivering Gorn octuplets?

[@vdagaming4155]

Can't wait until they meet mccoy

[@cordelyahaynes523]

🌞the looks of him reminds me of “Chekhov”

[@frankbalistreri5171]

I keep wondering why Scotty and Uhura didn't recognize Pike in "The Menagerie"? And if the Gorn were already known to the Federation, why did they build Cestus III in Gorn space?

[@VictoriaRamos-lj2ee]

not sure about Uhura ad Scotty but Cestus 3 was suppose to be an accident due to the lack of how big gorn space was! Bones talks about it!

I started naming my ships in Eve after Native American tribes and the Finger Lakes. The Cayuga was my idea!!!

Too bad this Scotty is the wrong rank. The Enterprise was the first ship he served as Chief of Engineering and held the rank of Commander. This is the first 5 year mission of Enterprise that gets cut short due to Pike's injury and Kirk takes over, and there is no way that a LtJG would be promoted to Cmdr. in the span of a few years. Time in rank is still a thing in Starfleet as are promotion boards. He'd have to go through LT, LTCMR, then Commander. Even Geordi only went from LTJG to Lt.Cmdr during TNG as he never took the command test like Troi did to get promoted to CMDR. So this just doesn't track. He should be at least a LT here to make the rest of it work.

[@joeswanson733]

actually scotty served on 9 ships prior to the NCC_1701. from 2244 to 2259 (SNW) he holds the grade of lt jr grade 2259-2265 he gets promoted to LT and finally to LT commander his rank in TOS 2265 scotty holds the rank of LT commander to 2272 2273 he gets promoted to commander in terms of other officers we see in trek scotts promotion is much more in line with regular officer rank promotions. 29 years to go from ensign to commander.

[@DS9TREK]

Incorrect. Pike completes both of his five missions in full. Pike's accident happens after Kirk takes over the Enterprise.

[@josephcontreras8930]

It'd be cool to have famous past naval commanders names on at least some trek series like Nimitz Halsey Spruence or past astronauts names from mercury Gemini and Apollo and even current astronauts from shuttles a n d iss crews as a nod or salute to our past.

[@joeswanson733]

that would be kind of fun. ensign is on the bridge hands data padd to pike while sitting in his command chair pike: thank you ensign chester... nimitz then pike is like ... nimitz? ensign nimitz: its my great x 11 grandfather USN fleet admiral chester nimitz pike: carry on

[@travisboyle285]

The USS Europa on Star Trek Discovery was a Nimitz class starship

[@jonathandavis-po6js]

It will be fine as long as we have 3 or 4 Scotty's every 5, or ten years like spock and batman

[@ethannelson8656]

Gonna be honest, I don't think ortegas is making it to the end of this two parter. I kinda think they're going to kill off someone every season and slowly replace them with the TOS crew until finally pike has his accident and it ends with the start of the five year mission.

[@milanplayer95]

She was alive in the season 1 finale so we know she should live until pike's tragedy at least no?

[@ethannelson8656]

@@milanplayer95 That alternate timeline wasn't created by the lack of the tragedy, it was caused by the letter pike was going to write at the end of season one. While avoiding the accident was part of the result of the letter, there could have been any number of other smaller effects which lead to Erica's surviveal. The key thing for me was the way pike told Erika she was "meant for this" as she was landing the shuttle. Something about that just screamed "she's not making it back from this one"
