Maybe SNW will have Joanna McCoy actually appear.
Kelvinverse comics name Kelvin McCoy's ex-wife Pamela Branch, while tie-ins have McCoy Prime's wife named Jocelyn.
I agree completely with this and why I think I found the season finale so boring. People hiding from mindless monsters has been done so many times and this episode didn't bring anything new to it.
Joe Haldeman's Bantam novel Planet of Judgment, the first work to depict McCoy's wife, called her Honey. (It was used in a way suggesting it was her actual name, not a term of endearment.)
Gold Key's comics called McCoy's daughter Barbara instead of Joanna.
Maybe SNW should introduce McCoy's wife first (without the characters or the viewers knowing she's his wife). And she talks about her ex all the time, either critically, or wistfully, or whatever. And then, surprise! Her ex, Leonard shows up!
Alternately, maybe their divorce happens after we meet them as a married couple.

Bring in Joanna and the Ex, but not Bones. Have one of them casually mention their Husband or father recently joined Starfleet.
There's also this nugget from Operation Annihilate:
SPOCK: Planet development is normal, Captain. Originally colonised as a freighting-line base in this area.
SCOTT: Aye, they make regular trips from here carrying supplies to the asteroid belt for the miners and bringing cargo out. I've made the run a couple of times myself as an engineering advisor.
Again nothing definitive, but perhaps hints of a pre-Starfleet career.SCOTT: Aye, they make regular trips from here carrying supplies to the asteroid belt for the miners and bringing cargo out. I've made the run a couple of times myself as an engineering advisor.
Ah, yes. That, too. Thank you.
Is that the only reference to asteroid mining in Trek? It's always frustrated me that they only show mining happening on planet surfaces, when asteroid mining would be enormously more productive and convenient for a spacegoing civilization.
It's not the only one. At the end of VGR's "AUTHOR, AUTHOR", we see a bunch of EMHs actually mining an asteroid.
Oh, yeah. I try to block that one out of my memory, since it's so incredibly stupid.
Agreed.
make sense considering in the Kelvin Timeline/Alternate reality, he's already a lieutenant commander and chief engineer of the USS Enterprise. I wonder why in the prime timeline he would be still on the lower end of the spectrum than his alternate reality counterpart.
Scotty's age was canonically established in "Relics." Crusher called him "a man of 147," and it was set in 2369, giving Scotty a birthdate of 2222. So regardless of Quinn's age, Scotty has to be 37-38 at this point.
No, he doesn't, any more than the Eugenics War has to have occurred in the 1990s.
It will occur later in this century, as established in the first episode of SNW - and that would be currently true whether they'd later chosen to do a time travel episode to justify it or not.
All the current evidence on SNW is that Scotty is a younger man than Kirk or Spock. That's fine. Not only does canonical information contradict other canon in Star Trek, but SNW is engaged in a rolling revision of Trek's continuity.
Not only that, most of the 'horror' falls flat when you realize it only works by nerfing Trek weapons to the point of worthlessness. A TOS hand phaser set on disintegrate or even wide-angle heavy stun would have rendered the gornling threat INERT.
