What's really sad....
By The Flashlight

...is what Berman did to Doohan's character in his only appearance on TNG. Instead of treating the character with respect and dignity, Scotty was turned into a bumbling old coot, babbling endlessly with war stories and sounding like Dana Carvey's Grumpy Old Man with cranky admonishments to Geordi about the younger generations' lack of respect for its elders. That, and the humiliating sequence of Scotty getting plastered on green booze on the holodeck . If ever there was evidence of Berman's utter antipathy toward TOS (other than Kirk's disgraceful death), it was this sickening episode. I wanted to throw the TV out the window when the writers had the audacity to have Geordi spew disrespect to Scotty, who instead should have been serving this great man his cups of coffee and washing his uniform in hopes of being thrown any scrap of knowledge from the table of Starfleet's greatest engineer. Scotty should have been treated like the living legend he was, as they treated Spock in Reunification. Instead, they shamed the character.
