Scotty drank like a fish, just like the (male) characters on MAD MEN. He once saved the Enterprise by drinking an alien into submission. I’ve always assumed he was on his seventh or eighth cloned liver by the time of Star Trek II.
How about Tasha Yar, for being the suck?
He was shown indulging in drink on that one occasion, and he outlasted the alien only long enough to use the intercom before passing out. That’s not sufficient evidence to conclude that he was in the habit of overindulging, and certainly not that he drank on the job like they do on Mad Men.
Fixed. 
This is what happens when I don’t use smilies. Learn from my mistake, children!
I do recall an episode in which McCoy devised some antidote to the dread disease afflicting the crew, gave it to Kirk & Scott, and mentioned that it had to be diluted in either water or alcohol to be drunk. Scott took a sip and asked McCoy how it went with Scotch; when McCoy replied that he had no idea, Scott immediately left the room with the antidote, saying “I’ll let you know!”
That was one of the best ones! Classic heist movie, Star Trek style.
The one I thought was super-lame is when Vic becomes Nog’s therapist after he gets all sulky when his leg is blown off.
I’m watching DS9 right now, and I would like to add Dr. Bashir’s Mu-tards to the list of characters I despise. Yeah, I get it, being augmented turns you into rain man. But their predictions about the demise of the Federation were wrong, so they clearly had much worse foresight than they thought. And on top of that, what was the deal with the woman? I had no idea that being genetically augmented turns you into a huge gaping slut.
He also had a pretty good hangover in Relics after getting into Guinan’s special stash.
I watched Genesis for the first time last night and actually jumped at a scene. I’ve never had a Star Trek make me jump, so Barclay/Spider-Man is on the vile list.
I believe he took another job at a space station somewhere in neutral space.
I thought Sisko’s objections to the heist and the casino were weird. Basically he objected to the program because it was set in the 1960s and black people weren’t allowed in the casinos at that time. Dude, the 1960s were over 400 years ago. Get over it.
Same thing in that TNG episode when the people of a Native-American settlement were mad at Picard because of something his forefather did to them. That was 700 years ago! Picard was all grovelling and apologetic when he should have told them to go fuck themselves.
Dude, there are still people in the world feuding over shit that happened a thousand years ago. Hell, even in this country we have people playing at being steamed over something that ended 155 years ago.
I don’t remember the episode well, so I’ll comment but little. Sisko’s objections only seemed odd because it was Star Trek, and he was departing from the usual Earth is paradise bit. I don’t think Uhura, say, would have had any objection; but then, Uhura was not American in any sense, so she might not have considered it part of her history. I don’t think they ever specified Sisko’s girlfriend’s background, but if she was from, say, Ireland, she might not have gotten it either. But Sisko was from New Orleans, and US history may have been more real to him than it would have to either of those two.
I wouldn’t participate in a Civil War re-enactment. Sisko may have had a similar issue.
That’s funny, I thought he was Mexican.
He bitches at length once that “On Earth, it is a Paradise! Hear, it is” I forget the quite, something like, “A Hellhole, cesspool of the universe, armpit of the Quadrant!”
Dark, bad, evil is what DS9 did best.
I thought he was upset because it was a lie to show the 1960s as an era of racial equality. Even though I’m not a Native American, it would be annoying to play an interactive game that showed Pizarro and his ilk palling around with the Incans and Mayans, and the Spanish priests taking care to preserve and honor the native religious documents. Sisko’s reaction doesn’t seem all that unreasonable - he had no problem with anyone else participating in the casino heist, he was just reluctant to do so himself.
Here’s the actual conversation between him and his girlfriend about it:
I’ve got to say, I sort of understand his point. And he doesn’t have a problem with other people going there. He just doesn’t want to be a part of it himself.
To finish it with her answer:
I see her point too. That’s one of the things I liked about DS9. People actually could disagree, and both of them would have reasonable positions.
I don’t recall that one. Which episode was it?
Seems unlikely anyway, Picard’s forefathers lived in France. His brother still did. I don’t think they had any interaction with Native Americans.
The War of 1812 comes to mind. The Deerslayer, and all that.
