Spock, McCoy and Scotty on DS9

[CaptMoe]

Don't know if this has been discussed before but I have always been disappointed Scotty was never on DS9. I would have liked to have seen the opening with Scotty in his shuttlecraft appearing to get new supplies and some rest. While this is going on also would have liked to see De Kelly play McCoy again and be on DS9 as well. McCoy would show up to visit Bashier as Bashier was the last person that McCoy sponsured for the academy. Then have Kira return from the wormhole with news that an off-shot race of Vulcans/Romulans have been found in the other side. You could then have Spock as the only "logical" person to make contact with them and have Spock on the station as well. Then you could have had it set that while they are on the station that they learn of Kirks true death and a final scene of them at the highest point of DS9, where you could have a star background, toasting to absent friends and the fade out.
Of course it would need to be a two parter. Any thoughts?

I'm afraid Bones MIGHT have been dead by the time DS9 rolled around. But yeah, I would have like to have seen Spock visit DS9. Garak+Quark+Spock=a great time for the viewer

DeForest Kelly died on June 11, 1999 (after DS9 went off the air). I doubt he would have returned as McCoy, however. He would have had to appear as the VERY advanced-aged McCoy from Encounter at Farpoint, which IIRC he did not enjoy doing the first time. And, given his age, I doubt it would have worked for anything other than a cameo anyway.

James Doohan died on July 20, 2005. I would have liked to see Scotty on DS9. Maybe he could have re-joined Starfleet as a technical adviser, or something like that, and helped them upgrade the station after The Adversary.

Leonard Nimoy, of course, is still alive. The best way, IMO, to get him on DS9 would have been after the Romulans joined the war. Have his underground movement become a little more public.

I didn't mean DFK, but Leonard McCoy. He was extremely old during his appearance on TNG and doubt if he would have made it to DS9, set 5 1/2 years later

Sounds like a fan flick in the making.

From what I've read, Kelley's cameo in 'Encounter at Farpoint' was as a favor to Gene Roddenberry. Trek writers took "the Admiral" and ran with it, and still use him in post-NEMESIS stories, usin' the idea that biomechanical implants are bein' used to keep him kickin', which I don't like at all, personally. Seems to go against everything McCoy was about to me.

Scotty is still used in the novels, too, most prominently in the (now defunct) S.C.E. series as a liaison between the Corps of Engineers and the admirals of Starfleet Command, and still holds the rank of captain. I have an easier time with that, though, since Scotty was in suspended animation for eighty years. I don't like what Peter David did with Scotty, at all, though (I forget which, but one of the New Frontier stories had Scotty hidin' out in a bar).

Out of all of 'em, I would have liked to have seen Spock on DS9, especially interactin' with Odo if at all possible, just to see two of my own favorites together.

But, if ya think about it, all three, and the rest of the TOS characters (aside from Sulu) were in DS9 'Trials and Tribble-ations'.

I don't think I'd have wanted to see it. Scotty's return was just fanwank, and Nimoy only did TNG to publicise the movie. Unification in particular was a big let-down I thought.

 

[Anduril]

Its a big universe. Having endless crossovers would've just been........what's the word?

 

[F. King Daniel]

Fun? It's only a TV show.

 

[Jono]

But they were on DS9, they were in "Trials and Tribble-ations".

 

[Rom's Sehlat]

Stock footage from the 1960s doesn't count as a new appearance... but it was cool to revisit the origins of Trek!

+1 exactly. they where on DS9.

That's spot on, having them on any more than that might have gone from been a fun novelty to something that made DS9 looked like it was wishing it had the glory of TOS. DS9 was what it was, and I for one wouldn't change it (aside from the one or two dodgy eps here and there!)
