Strange New Worlds recently introduced Scotty’s hand injury in the episode 'Human Best Friend,' but did they handle it with the respect it deserves? In this video, we dive into why turning James Doohan’s real-life war hero sacrifice into a "comedy" moment feels like a major misstep for Star Trek.
We’ll discuss:
The history of James Doohan’s injury during the D-Day invasion at Juno Beach.
How the Original Series handled his hand versus the new prequel approach.
Why "canonizing" every actor trait isn't always necessary for great storytelling.
The growing problem with how prequel series mess with established character backstories.
What did you think of the latest episode? Was it a harmless nod or a step too far? Let’s ramble in the comments!
