Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS for the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 finale, “Hegemony,” are ahead!
Although Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has introduced its fair share of prominent new characters, including La’an Noonien Singh, Erica Ortegas, the late Hemmer and Pelia, most of the show’s primary characters are ones Trek fans grew to be acquainted with from The Original Series. Now there’s yet another character from that era who’s received the Strange New Worlds treatment, as the Season 2 finale, titled “Hegemony,” brought Montgomery Scott, a.k.a. “Scotty,” the Enterprise’s future Chief Engineer, into the fold. Now that the episode has been released to Paramount+ subscribers, co-showrunner and executive producer Henry Alonso Myers has shared why he and the show’s team decided to bring in Scotty.
