Reagrding the pic… actually there was a cry of outrage Many people asked if it was necessary for the story to show her in underwear.. and the prducers agreed it didn't have to be… If you ask me, it definitely was necessary
LOL james, this is Scotty. He didn't die. He also had a role in TNG in an episode. A german comedian had another idea of people getting killed – if they weren't member of the original team and were allowed to speak – then they died few minutes later:)
