So, what's the consensus of "Kevin"? Personally, I thought the scene with Kevin was a bit too cute, but, hey, if Keenser can become a member of the crew in good standing, why not Kevin? In fact, do you think there would be any prohibition of certain alien races from joining Starfleet? I mean, what if a Horta, or an Excalibian or even a Medusian wanted to be a member of Starfleet? How would accommodations be made for non-bipedal species? At any rate, I did think the "no pants" joke was funny at least...

I loved the Kevin no pants line. This whole movie had Simon's fingerprints all over it. 
On that thought it opened the door on what shapes/sizes of beings can starfleet accompany in a ship like the Enterprise? How about Humminbirds with uniforms? Are there microbe-sized crewmembers on the Enterprise too?
I thought it was really funny that he was beamed up by accident, but instead of sending him back they just sorta kept him and by the end he's one of the crew.
And, that he's called Kevin. Brilliant.

I'd love to see Kevin stick around. Scotty, Keenser and Kevin could make a killer engineering trio.
I wonder who named him Kevin. Probably Kirk.

I like that idea. It's not unlike how many real-life Chinese people choose secondary Western names for dealing with English speakers.I also chuckled at "Kevin"! In-universe, could be that his real name is near-unpronounceable by humans, and went with Kevin as "close enough".
I found him great. The more aliens on the Enterprise, the better.
By the way in some old TOS novels a Horta was part of the Enterprise crew. It worked really well. I hope they add one in the new series.
I think "Kevin" is just a nickname. And I thought that scene was funny.
