Now he just needs to start acting like the guy!
He does a fairly good job. Not everyone can be Chris Doohan. Besides, this Scotty’s accent sounds a little more authentic to me. 
Helps that the actor is actually Scottish.Besides, this Scotty’s accent sounds a little more authentic to me.
Why? It's set before TOS, he doesn't need to yet.
The little we saw of him in Season 2 he felt like a younger Scotty to me.
So, I've been mulling on this for a bit, both with Superman, and with SNW, and the complaints over "Well, Kirk would never do X," or "Spock would never act like Y." or "Scotty needs to act more like Z." And, I just thought, "Maybe they learned from the mistakes they made and we were never privied to that proving period." It seems to be that Star Trek characters are treated a bit like Athena:
Kirk sprung from the mind fully formed and awesome. He never struggled, never failed, or always made the best decision. That sometimes seems to be the perception. Scotty and Spock are the same.
I don't know about anyone else, and maybe it's just me: but I didn't become better than I was before or in my 20s, 30s, through fully formed wisdom. It came by hard work, discipline and a ton of failures and mistakes.
Spock and Kirk in SNW are characters that I value because I see both the raw form and I know what they become. And I want to see that journey!
Still doing this in my 40s.
It’s a never ending process.
Just when you think you’ve got that wisdom, you realize you’ve been sold a brick. Again.
Minor season 3 spoilers in here.

Reminder, it's a two episode premier this week, not just one.
Google has brief descriptions, not sure their source. Maybe episode 2 is the Centenary episode.
I wish there was slightly more detail to plot synopsis's than I've seen in the streaming era. For example, the landing party flees a deadly enemy. Why not just say Gorn. This episode is about the Gorn so say it. I'm not saying spoil the episode, but some of these synopsises I've seen (And not just for SNW but for a lot of shows) just feel kind of lazy.
Those little synopsis are as much for casuals as they are for us. My wife wouldn’t know what a Gorn is, but she’s pretty sure to understand ‘deadly enemy’.
