I think the fact that Scotty was always "buttered side up" was to blame for that!
Karl Urban plays McCoy. A good actor, he was terrific as Eomer in the Rings Trilogy. I think he’d be a good McCoy. Also, I read that Bruce Greenwood is Captain Pike. Greenwood was very good in “Nowhere Man”, a very good paranoid series that had an unfortunate title.
I don’t have any plans to see the new “Trek” until it hits DVD. Having said that, though, if Morn the Barfly from DS9 happens to be in it, I’m on my way to the theater NOW!!
