This is a rare gem. Normally, stories involving Scotty suck. Palin and simple. He’s just not a great lead character. However, this works. The story unfolds backwards, like the movie “Memento” and it makes for a very powerful story when you come to realize how deep Scotty’s relationship with his wife is- even though she is NEVER mentioned in either the series or movies.
I also appreciate the backstory between Scotty and the young crewman who dies in his arms during “Wrath of Khan”. To me, it’s always been one of those things you’d learn more about in the Director’s Cut. Turns out the crewman is Scotty’s nephew. When I saw that scene again on HBO Family recently, it made alot more sense and was more powerful to watch.
Worth Consuming!
