We have quite a wait for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3, and while there are other upcoming Trek shows to be excited about, fans are now more eager than ever to see one "familiar" character returning sooner rather than later. The Season 2 finale saw engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott board the Enterprise, with actor Martin Quinn taking on the beloved role. In the week following the finale's intro, which was a huge moment for audiences, we now have comments from Chris Doohan, son of longtime Scotty portrayer James Doohan, who shared his thoughts on seeing his father's role recast once more.
Chris Doohan has appeared in various Star Trek projects himself over the years, and even provided his vocal talents to voice his father's role in Star Trek Online. Doohan already witnessed film star Simon Pegg play his own take on Scotty for the big screen, but Martin Quinn stepping in as the Prime Timeline character is something different entirely. All things considered, it's no surprise that he'd have some thoughts on a new actor stepping into his father's metaphorical shoes, but fortunately, the thoughts he passed along were nothing but kind.
