Nice interview, very very light spoiler stuff if you're trying to go into next season stone cold unknowing.
Even though I didn’t enjoy the movie, I’m still sad that Paul McGillion wasn’t cast as Scotty for the 2009 film. He’s both Scottish and Canadian, so perfect for carrying the torch.

He really amped it up in Stargate as Dr Beckett but he certainly still does have an accent.
Why release this article now, after like ten months?
