Scotty's Sidekick

[Nero's Shadow]

GET DOWN FROM THERE !!!! (scottish accent ) lol lol

 

[CaptainDonovin]

I thought Keenser was funny, I kind of thought Scotty would get him on the E.

 

[Nick Ryder]

I liked him, wasn't annoying, just there. He's not badass but he's fun... I hope they bring him back for the sequal. Maybe him sittin' on Kirk's chair...

"Off the chair."

I'm going to go against the grain and say that I did not like him. Yes, it wasn't done annoyingly like Jar Jar thank goodness, however, I didn't see the need and I found it kind of distracting/not fitting in with the rest of the movie.

 

[shapeshifter]

I kept wondering why they put a 'Knibbler' style character in. Scotty never had or spoke of a pet, did he?

It's odd he's there but no biggie to me.

You're not alone in this, I got the same feeling. Didn't care for him at all.

 

[NiteTrek]

I can tell you this: He likes to sit on top of things.

Yeah, like Scotty for one. After 6 months on that planet, Scotty probably enjoyed the action.

Jem'Hadar Orphan

Was Scotty's little friend a Jem'Hadar midget orphan?

Re: Jem'Hadar Orphan

No. Offspring of that Alien/Human hybrid. Just look at the eyes.

Re: Jem'Hadar Orphan

He, he really looked like a little Jem'Hadar, didn't he?
I didn't notice that.

Re: Jem'Hadar Orphan

I hope he's back in future installments.

Scotty's Strange Sidekick

I find myself strangely fascinated with this little guy... What a character!

Are there any threads/articles/websites/etc. that anyone can point to which shed a little more light on the enigmatic creature and his relationship with Scotty?

Anyone know his name?

Looking forward to reading the novelization, and finding out more about this guy...

Re: Scotty's Strange Sidekick

yes, a thread here, let me search for it

Keenser as played by Deep Roy who is most recently known for playing the Oompa Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

he provided a nice amount of comic relief

Re: Scotty's Strange Sidekick

He looked to me like an alien from the Planet of Overexposed Film from NEM.

Re: Scotty's Strange Sidekick

Apparently he was part of the Max Rebo band in ROTJ.

I liked the guy. Offbeat, eccentric characters are cool.

 

[Roshi]

Re: Scotty's Strange Sidekick

He reminded me of the dwarf androids in Blade Runner.

Re: Scotty's Strange Sidekick

I thought he was an Ewok, then I remembered that this was supposed to be Star Trek

I agree wholeheartedly. That kind of cutesy Jar Jar shit is a real movie ruiner, but thankfully he did not go there.
