Have we got a picture of him?

The name is Keenser and he/she/it is a Starfleet officer

OMG you are right.
Looking at that, I have to wonder if Erin Esurance will have a larger role in the sequel, perhaps working for Section 31.

Does anyone remember exactly what it was Scotty said that made this little guy answer: "Me."
I remember it all being funny, but not what Scotty said.
Spock: You are Montgomery Scot.
Scotty: Aye, that's me; you're in the right place - unless there is another hard working equally starved Starfleet officer around.
Keenser:Me
 
I thought he was great. He didn't outstay his welcome, and it was nice to have more aliens in Starfleet.

And he's another name to add to the list of actors who have been in Trek and Doctor Who!
 
Re: Jem'Hadar Orphan

The first thing I thought was "Jem'Hadar"! But I then remembered how damn fast a Jem'Hadar grows to adulthood(re: "The Abandoned(DS9)") and realized it couldn't really be one.
 
Re: Jem'Hadar Orphan

I never thought Jem'Hadar for a second.

It didn't look like a Jem'Hadar, it didn't act like a Jem'Hadar, it didn't live where a Jem'Hadar lives or do what a Jem'Hadar does.

So I really don't see what could lead anyone to think it was a Jem'Hadar. Seriously.

I did, however, immediately think of these background aliens from DS9, who are an almost perfect match:

In other words, a better Ewok than Lucas came up with.
 
At first, he was a bit too Star Wars/Ewokish to me. But hey, Scotty needs a straight man/go-to-guy assistant, and why not a craggy little gremlin? -- RR

A gremlin... huh. That's interesting. What if this guy was one? I mean, he's from a race of beings which stow-a-way on ships and mess with the tech. Scotty found him and "drafted him" because of his natural ability with tech?
 
Re: Jem'Hadar Orphan

At first I thought he WAS an Ewok, I thought he was furry at first and for a split second wondered if this was some bizzare Star Wars homage/crossover
 
Re: Jem'Hadar Orphan

I loved the character. I love Scotty's remark at the outpost: "What? You don't eat anything! Oh, okay, you eat one bean and you're full!" :lol:
