Spoilers OMG! I just realized

[Unimatrix Q]

McCoy must know about Discovery, as he carried Spock's katra for a time!

I wonder if he ever told Jim about Michael and/or Discovery ...

 

[F. King Daniel]

Jim, immediately after: SET COURSE FOR THE FUTURE!

 

[SolarisOne]

Jim, immediately after: SET COURSE FOR THE FUTURE!

But why, though?

 

[F. King Daniel]

But why, though?

Spoiler: what Jim does in the future

He wants to Kirk Michael Burnham.

 

[SJGardner]

But why, though?

Tilly never returned the antique Bowie album she borrowed from Jim at the Academy and he still wanted it back after all these years.

If Shatner ever makes a new Kirk novel, that might become a plot point

He's finally got sick of his crew only singing I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen.

I'll have to leave that novel out to preserve my Kirk/Tilly Academy years headcanon
I mean, Gary Mitchell described him as a walking stack of books at the Academy; that seems like someone who would get along well with Tilly and learn something from her about enjoying life and never ever giving up...

 

[Harpsichord]

Gary Mitchell described him as a walking stack of books at the Academy

I've only ever been able to reconcile this quote by assuming that Gary Mitchell was as dumb as a sack of rocks

 

[thribs]

He carried it but I don’t think he had access to all the memories within it. He had no idea he had it until he was told.

 

[SJGardner]

That's probably a better explanation, considering the Jim Kirk we all know. Still, I'm clinging to my headcanon of his Academy friendship with Tilly and nothing's gonna take that away from me

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Please don't give him ideas.

 

[GNDN18]

Kirk was, well, I let him describe it:

MCCOY: And you being the very serious young [cadet]
KIRK: Serious? I'll make a confession, Bones. I was absolutely grim, which delighted Finnegan no end.

“Shore Leave”

People change.

 

[zar]

They both blocked it out... like how you probably blocked out The Final Frontier:

SPOCK: He reminds me of someone I knew in my youth.
McCOY: Why, Spock, I didn't know you had one.
SPOCK: I do not often think of the past.

But what is your exact basis for determining he must know about Discovery? A quick check reveals no evidence that katra transfer involves a complete and permanent memory dump, as opposed to a scenario where an alternate personality asserts itself periodically. I assume you have a particular quote or incident in mind?

Or, just maybe, the OP was being sarcastic.

 

[Boris Skrbic]

Sure, but I wanted to see how quickly I could end this thread (or alternatively learn something new about katras).

And he paid someone to pass the entrance exams with nonexistent credits or gold pressed latinum lol

I think T'Pau ran defrag on McCoy's brain during the mind transfer into Spock 3.0 on Mount Seleya

It was T'Lar, but you're probably right about the defrag lol
