McCoy's daughter: why...

[LMFAOschwarz]

...did she never even get a mention or appearance in the movies? There's been "subspace chatter" about her for decades. She supposedly exists, but would it have been wise to establish her, as 'Tiberius' finally was, or 'Hikaru'?

Heck, even Admiral Nogura is pretty well-established and spoken of. You'd think that the offspring of a major character would at least rate a photograph on a desk somewhere.

Kirk's brother never got a mention in the movies either.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Captain Kirk's brother had been dead for a while in the original movies timeline. In the current timeline, he ran away.

Probably hasn't made it to Deneva yet...

 

[F. King Daniel]

McCoy's divorce, a huge part of the character in fanon and the expanded universe, was only made canon in the '09 movie. At this rate his daughter should get a mention by 2026.

But at least we saw his dead body.

 

[Lance]

She did at least get a name check in TAS: The Survivor (although not by name, McCoy simply says "my daughter").

Apparently even after she was removed from The Way To Eden, plans were still in place to feature her in a fourth season story if TOS had got another year. Alas it was not to be...

I know Joanna is in one of the TOS novels.

 

[Shaka Zulu]

^She's also in an issue of the Marvel Comics Star Trek title, married to a Vulcan, and resentful of Daddy McCoy.

 

[borgboy]

Wow I never heard about Joanna marrying a Vulcan! Imagine McCoy being presented with a half Vulcan grandchild. I remember there's a reference to TNG era McCoy having great great granchildren.

^I'm talking about the first Marvel Comics title based on the 1979 movie, which follows from that movie. The comic you linked to is a later comic book from the 1990s line of comics licensed by Paramount Pictures and is a different story.

As great as that would be to happen, unfortunately, it's not canon.

I was referring to a different story from the 1979-1981 comic book published by Marvel; the one you mentioned is from the 1990s books that were published by Marvel, but were licensed to Paramount Pictures as Paramount Comics (it also spawned a team-up book between the X-Men & the TOS crew called 'Star TreX'.)

So, no Oochy-woochy coochy-coo?

 

[borgboy]

Canon schmanon, whatever. That's a pretty un-fun attitude. I count the spin off media as soft canon, and where they contradict too hard, then I just think of them as seperate but equal alternate realities.

 

[CaptainBearclaw]

They did plan for an episode for her towards the end of the third season. It's called "The Stars of Sargasso", and it's interesting. She dies in it, though.

Yeh Spock accidentally kills her

No, http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/All_the_Infinite_Ways is the story you were discussing.

The latter one (Marvel/Paramount) is at:

No, the one I linked to definitely has the entry that says, "McCoy is approached by Joanna and the Vulcan man. McCoy is overjoyed to see his daughter, but she refuses his embrace. She is now engaged to the Vulcan, Ambassador Suvak."

 

[Pauln6]

She appeared as a nurse in the 80s comic and a doctor in the lost voyages mini series a few years ago... or was it the Dr McCoy mini series. Anyway, they're all fun stories even if they're slightly incongruous.
