TOS Without Scotty

Supose that we went back to TOS and took out scotty and his entire crew of engineers and replaced them with Geordi and his crew. How long would Kirk survive?

During the opening credits, when it plays the theme and shows the ship flying around, it explodes.

The series is cancelled cause nobody could bear the thought of a scotty/geordi replacment, and the execs thougth the openign credits was a good place to end the show

Considering the number of times Geordi and Data nearly kill the whole crew and the amount of times Scotty saves them I say one season, one show
Eight mintues tops

Geordi would start with the technobabble and Kirk would punch him in the face and demand Scotty back.

Alright, lets give Geordi half of Scotty's crew, so they won't blow up during the credits atleast, how else would that affect performence.

And while we discuss this, why not give Picard Scotty and all his crew, having already read their tech manuals, how do you think this would change TNG?

During the opening credits, when they play the theme song and the Enterprise-D flys around, the ship will actually remain intact.

Geordi discovers a loose bolt in the warp core. He then remogulates a plasma transiter matrix to emmit a wide beam phased huagdsjsg particle beam to strengthen the tightened integrity of the bolt. But this causes the warp core's quantum jelly-bean compisator to decompress.

And the ship blows up

No, you use the isotransistor and a transphasic wide beam conduit.

Not much. Remember, "I canna change the laws of physics, Captain!" At least computer virus/hacker of the week (TM) won't threaten to blow up the ship until the last five minutes of the episode.

Hmm, interesting question. Working, working...

Initial post, dead on first cord of theme song.
Second question, dead on last cord of theme song.

...Mr. Spock would be spending a lot of time off the bridge fixing everything to rights just to keep the Enterprise from blowing up, and poor Mr. Kyle would be the most overworked man on the whole ship.

Meanwhile, on Picard's ship, Scotty could repair the warp drive using his coffee pot, a string, and some paperclips. Capt. Picard would never know how many disasters had been averted simply because Scotty can look at a system and know what has to be fixed.

Again i say, Scotty is God
Scotty is the greatest... I mean, Damn!

*Wonders if they pull Scotty off to head up R&D for the Federation?

Or at least an umbrella, but then again, we can't all be McGuyver.

Hey! Mcguyver aboard the E-D, I'd like to see hwo many times he saves that with a coffe pot, some string, and some paperclips,plusan umbrella. An umbrella is a must.

This is a good question where the hell IS the Duct tape in Star Trek?????

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2002-08-14 08:18am

Its not somthing that can be supassed
From all the shows its featured in

Its Stronger than steel and can protect a ship from de-presursation
It servers as handy handcuffs if you run out
It can support a six story building with a single roll
It can be used to trap giant radioactive spiders and other mutants

What could you surpass ducktape with anyway?

Duct Tape is the force. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

It's only used in Star Wars.
