Earl Grey 80: Great Scott!

Scotty in TNG.

The continuing mission of the characters from Star Trek The
Original Series was left a verboten topic for the
first half of The Next Generation. However, after the
appearance of Ambassador Sarek in season three ("Sarek"), as well
as the cameo of a certain ornery admiral in the pilot episode
"Encounter at Farpoint," the floodgates were open
for TOS characters to "special" guest star in the
second incarnation of Trek on television. 

Captain Montgomery "Scotty" Scott beamed into the 24th century in
the sixth season episode "Relics" and found it difficult to find
a place on this new Enterprise, with its "bloody" D suffix.
Daniel Proulx, Darren Moser, and guest co-host Andy Farber
explore Scotty's difficulties of being a man out of his time, and
whether theTNG writers were faithful to his character. The
interplay between the competingEnterprise chief engineers,
Scotty and Lt. Cmdr. Geordi LaForge, reveal not only the
differences between those two characters, but also the
differences between the two beloved Trek television
shows. Join Earl Grey as they mourn poor Franklin,
drink something green, and remember times past on the Holodeck
for their discussion of Scotty's appearance on TNG.
