Star Trek: Strange New Worlds co-showrunner and executive producer Henry Alonso Myers has opened up about introducing their take on fan-favorite character Montgomery “Scotty” Scott in the Season 2 finale.Scotty appeared midway through “Hegemony,” the Paramount+ series’ Season 2 finale, which saw the Enterprise crew helping a colony under attack by the Gorn. Speaking with TVLine, Myers explained how Scotty’s cameo in the Season 2 finale came to be. “We’ve been talking about him for a while as a general idea,” he revealed. “As we were going into the finale, it suddenly became a weird, rare opportunity to introduce him for a lot of different reasons. What we’d like to do with the characters [from the original Star Trek series]… We don’t meet our understanding of who they are in that series, we meet who they are before. They don’t know who they will be, and they aren’t that person yet. They have some stuff to go through.”The Season 2 finale isn’t actually the first time Scotty has appeared on Strange New Worlds. The character’s voice was previously heard in the Season 1 finale, played by Matt Wolf. However, in “Hegemony,” the role is played by Martin Quinn, who is of Scottish origin. “We also had a great opportunity to cast someone who’s from Scotland,” noted Myers, “who can do that Scotty, but also who can go through all of the things that we want to see him go through before he becomes the person that we know.” In the original Star Trek series and movies, Scotty was portrayed by Canadian actor James Doohan.RELATED: Why Captain Kirk Never Mentions La’an in Star Trek’s Khan Stories
