Was McCoy's timeline messed with as well?

We know the death of Kirk's father, that is, the destruction of the Kelvin, seems to have altered a lot of things in how the next 2+ decades went. (Things far beyond just Jim Kirk's personal life.)

Was McCoy's life also altered?

Should he have been joining Starfleet on the same day Kirk did?

How would the original timeline have compared with that?

You guys who know stuff like 'what episode had a scene with coffee stains on someone's shirt?', help me out here.

The day Kirk joined the JJ-starfleet... Where should he have been and what should he have been doing? Is this the point where he was "the stack of books with legs", teaching at the Academy as a Lieutenant?

Does McCoy join Starfleet at the same time in both continuities, but Kirk just happens to be there on that day in the new timeline?

Would he have been at Starfleet already when McCoy arrived, and got to know him that way?

Help me sort out the old and the new here.

Thanks.

my guess is that bones in both probably joins when he did.


in my mind and this might be off in the prime time line some of this might be happening during the period when kirk was coming back to the academy to teach.

post farragutt space vampire incident.

we also know that bones did some planet side medical mission work during this time period so it is possibe they met while jim was teaching and later spent time on either a ship or mission together.

oh yeah for me it works that bones was already assigned to enteprise during the time period of where no man but was gone off on some special medical emergency else where.
 
I think that the thing that changed as a result of the timeline being altered is that Mc Coy became even hotter. So hot, in fact, that his wife became so jealous of him and she divorced him.
 
I like the idea of keeping McCoy exactly how he is in the movie. There's less reason for things that affected Kirk's history to have affected his.

Of course; she would have no other reason. :cool:
 
McCoy never met Kirk until he became Chief Medical Officer aboard the Enterprise under Kirk's command (he replaced someone else), at least that's how I remember it.
 
Well, that and the large number of lust-crazed women lining up outside their door. :devil:

^ I thought that was the reason for the jealousy.


Yes, yes. I believe you are both right. The constant stream of patients with "ouchies" and "broken fingernails" in Dr. Mc Sexy's waiting room finally drove Jocelyn to the edge and she accused him of cheating. Game over, Leonard drunk and staggering over to Iowa with flask in hand.

:angel:

Aw, f*#& the movie. :guffaw:
 
Well, we only know he has the ex. There's no mention of him having a kid during the movie.

It also never mentions his love of showgirls...
