Is Captain Tryla Scott (From Conspiracy) related to Scotty?

[Guy Gardener]

Jimmy just had to out do that balding actor preaching about his first interracial kiss on US TV for 40 plus years?

We saw Montgomery's Nephew die, so Scotty didn't have to make family all by himself to have had a great grand niece Captaining a Star Ship like an Ace, and making history.

Youngest Captain Ever!?!

You go girl!



The actress reprises the role in 2013, for The Excelsior fan-made podcast, but I have no idea if that story answers my question.

True story, but when I was reading the "All Good Things" novelisation before I'd seen the episode and didn't really know TNG that well, I come to the part where Lwaxana goes "Rixx knows (yadda yadda whatever)" and the only Rixx I'd read about was the captain from "Conspiracy." I wouldn't learn about Sacred Chalice of Rixx until way later. So I deduced Rixx was Lwaxana's boyfriend and they had met up in some previous episode that had already aired but I had never seen.
So obviously of course Tryla Scott and Scotty are related.

I technically voted "no" because it's probable (as well as risking "small universe syndrome"), but in my heart I'm still going to say "yes" because it's not entirely improbable and for a surfeit of possible reasons, and I vaguely recall a thread from some time ago.

Plus, in a universe littered with Soong androids and related Data relatives in even the dumbest places of the universe for no reason other than "hi there", anything less probable becomes more probable as a result, all while ending up feeling far less contrived and far less "small universe syndrome" by extension as well. Also, I ate a cheese sandwich with some prunes this morning, but I digress.

Tryla Scott, like James Kirk, is a rare occasion of a person being well above the bell curve, which isn't impossible either... Plus, Ursaline rocks the role with a very engaging performance, and everyone who was taken over was restored to normality afterward -- in short, I'd loved to have seen a spinoff of "The Captain Scott Show" had TNG, when hitting its stride by season four, wanted to plop out a bunch of spinoffs.

So cool that Ursaline Bryant reprised her role. Will be looking that 2013 podcast up, thanks for the info!

As much as Star Trek loves its Small Universe Syndrome, it's not that small. If they wanted a link to Scotty for whatever reason, they would have made that clear.

Yeah, they would have had her do a bad Scottish accent.

O'Brien: "Well, it's a common enough name. Do you realise the odds?!"

 

[Herbert]

Why don't we take it a step further? Everyone in the Federation with the last name Scott is related.

 

[FederationHistorian]

She probably related to Scotty in the same way that Michael Burnham is related to Spock i.e. she's adopted.

If Scotty hadn't Spent 70 years in Transporter suspension, you'd be on the money.

He was retiring to a retirement planet, so one might suppose a lack of fertile wombs writhing to be free in that sexual dust-bowl, however if the staff did not bend to his charms, then matching Scotty drink for dink only leads to one place.

Not when Frenchman Picard had perfect English goin' on! Even the ship's computer, via Minuet, states French was looked up automatically in the "foreign language bank"* when it heard his name. By that logic, the only thing(s) missing might be (a) Picard revealing he doesn't know a single lécher of French** and then the ship computer explodes***, and/or (b) the song "Yakkety Sax" played right on Minuet's cue. (Oh, YouTuuuuuube! )

* Which makes a lorryload of assumptions about their worldbuilding so massive that even the 1701-D doesn't have enough space to haul them all in
** Apart from "merde"!
*** Remember the wonderfulness of the Norman android from the TOS episode ("I, Mudd") where Kirk nagged it to the point it self-imploded? Well...

To lick? Picard doesn't know a single "to lick" in French?

The online translator merely wrote what it was programmed as the French equivalent of "lick" to my translation inquiry.

Ah. The noun is "coup de langue".

Can't think of an equivalent piece of French slang to "lick"...

Thanks much!!

Not everybody whose first or last name is "Scott" is Scottish. I would hazard a guess that it is at least as likely that Tryla Scott is a descendant of ragtime composer James Sylverster Scott.

What about the MacScotts?

Aye, like consonantal shift... the real fun is why diminutions and other alterations occur, followed by the generally predictable results from many individuals espousing numerous points of view, et cetera...

I know the Franklin had a Scott who was an engineer but im guessing that's gotta be one of Scotty's ancestors. (probably a granduncle.)

 

[F. King Daniel]

This was around the time of Star Trek V, when Scotty and Uhura were a thing... so she could be a granddaughter

This is because the Franklin mission logs were a recycling of the Enterprise mission logs, seen in blurry holographic form earlier in the movie. They just changed the bare minimum. Some of the missions you hear Kirk speaking of when Krall plays their logs.

They really don't make these things intending us to freeze-frame and take them as gospel.

You must have Vulcan hearing then if you can hear that.
