FULL DISCLOSURE.  I'M NOT REALLY A TREKKIE OR TREKKER (whatever most Star Trek fans prefer to be called). But, I do admire Scotty (Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott), the chief engineer and "miracle worker" of the  USS Enterprise . It's purely professional. Let me explain.
Scotty lives for two things: engineering and spaceships. (Well, three things if you count Scotch whiskey.) He has a rare mechanical capacity, and he's fiercely protective of the ship's engines. This is good because in almost every episode, he needs to put the engines--and his technical knowledge and skill--to the test to devise unconventional and effective last-minute solutions to dire problems. Often his biggest challenge is to match Captain James T. Kirk's ambitious tactical plans to what is within the starship's capabilities.  "I've giv'n her all she's got captain, an' I canna give her no more," he'll often say in an accent that drips of heather and highlands.  READ MORE
