Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott - TOS season 1

I love Bones :D But soon I realised that there's another great character, but one who seems to be underrated: that's Scotty! He's just lovely and so is James Doohan. I couldn't find any compilation video of his portrayal of Scotty, so I decided to make one myself. It's my first video I ever made, took me ages to do it.. So enjoy watching some scenes with Star Trek's best chief engineer! :)

I recall an interview with Doohan later in life. He'd basically retired to the convention circuit and talked about how much he enjoyed it.

Actual quote: " KORAX: Of course, I'd say that Captain Kirk deserves his ship. We like the Enterprise. We, we really do. That sagging old rust bucket is designed like a garbage scow. Half the quadrant knows it. That's why they're learning to speak Klingonese. CHEKOV: Mister Scott! SCOTT: Laddie, don't you think you should rephrase that? KORAX: You're right, I should. I didn't mean to say that the Enterprise should be hauling garbage. I meant to say that it should be hauled away as garbage." That is a real insult, likely a script error.

Not just loyalty. Responsibility and sensibility. They'd been fired upon. Only an idiot would suddenly believe they're all friends when their captain and first officer are missing. Scotty decided it was too great a risk to everyone on that ship.

It's not Season One, but one of the best Scotty moment's was in Season 3's "The Enterprise Incident" when he was in command and the Romulan commander told him to surrender and follow them. "This is Lieutenant Commander Scott. The Enterprise takes no orders, except those of Captain Kirk. And we will stay right here until he returns. And if you you make any attempt to board or commandeer the Enterprise, it will be blown to bits along with as many of you as we can take with us."

Gene Roddenberry, or whomever he allowed to select the beautiful women to play their parts on Star Trek, TOS was all wonderful. Most of them could act pretty well, but there was a handful that was simply beautiful in every way. One of my favorites was when Captain Garth, later Lord Garth, had his Green painted Andorian slave woman to do the dance for Kirk. She was clearly a dancer by profession. I've never seen leg muscles on a woman from back in the sixties until years later when women started working out in Gyms. But this Andorian green painted dancer was so perfect as a dancer and actor that she made my heart go "pitter patter" as a young boy. Too bad Lord Garth had to explode her on the unbreathable surface of the planet Kirk was confined to during the series. I think it was in season three.

All of the main characters / Actors on TOS were excellent. Each had their very distinct quirks and ways. Doohan / Scotty was great! I especially loved it when he was in command of the ship and when he was deep in his element repairing or jury rigging something to just give them the edge. He was ever loyal to Kirk and the Enterprise.

Thanks for this! Jimmy was a treasure.

Aye, sir! I like this video! But I don't know how much longer I can hold it together! She'll break apart! LoL. Rest in peace, James Doohan. One of the best actors in the star trek universe. God speed!

[@christiantkent5681]

Beautifully done - captures his strength and dignity, humor, compassion, and most of all, loyalty - you gotta love Scotty...

I remember that line in the times of my life when someone does me wrong, from the first time he said it, decades ago. Thanks Scotty! 👍👍👏

[@raymondweaver8526]

I often recall that line

[@3dbadboy1]

4:05 great line from an experienced engineer. Like looking for spare parts for a Commodore64.

@@tomf3150 Not the best example. There are several SID chip clones out there for the Retro synth market. The Vic-ii is a better example.

1:30 *of course I could treat them to a few dozen photon torpedoes* 😆😆😆

I never knew Scotty is so badass!!

[@raymondweaver8526]

I guess you didn't watch TOS much

[@lim-dulspaladin50]

The book Kobayashi Maru he's got a line to the effect of "it's not every chief engineer that sits in the command seat. As for distruction these lads are rank amateurs." talking about Sulu and Checkov.

[@fredjaneson1670]

Good old Scotty how much I learned from you as a child propriety respect and skill and wisdom God bless you James doohan may you rest in peace in heaven more vet! I salute you sir

[@carlmontney7916]

The diplomat and phasor bank line Is one of the greatest lines ever uttered in Star Trek TOS! RIP Mr. Doohan. You as well as the beautiful character of Scotty that you created are both missed.

[@jamesrose1460]

Got to talk to him on the phone. He was an amazing awesome man. Rest well Jimmy...thanks much for the memories. We miss you.

[@Videx19]

Perhaps the most loved character in TOS. These segments left me feeling warm and fuzzy.

[@CambriaCandiceMaria]

I always loved Scotty.

[@garyphillips2315]

Being that I love engineering and his general character in general, he is about my favorite. The other person I really loved in Star Trek was Sulu...he is a special type of actor...he lived the part!

[@hardyharhar9]

TOS is on me tv where I live at 11:00 every Saturday night. I watch it religiously.
