Why I like them: an everyman who is yet distinct with his own talents. Why I don’t: I don't remember him trying to talk to many people, which is fine for Dr. Ellingham, but somehow rings false about Bones. :) Favorite episode (scene if movie, book, manga, etc) - TOS - Devil in the Dark. Movie - when he introduces himself to Kirk. Favorite season/movie/book/volume: Devil in the Dark wins it all, imho Favorite line: "I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer." OTP: Bones/Uhura Brotp: Bones & Spock. Head Canon: he's smarter than he lets people think he is; he has no connections (political, social, other), unlike Spock. Unpopular opinion: he shouldn't get a movie of his own (because then the scriptwriters would invent complexes and traumas to bedevil him with, on top of whatever angsts they drop on him) A wish: five more Trek movies with him in it. (and at least one with a Horta) An oh-god-please-don't-ever-happen: Bones/Horta. 5 words to best describe them: honest, humane, human (both senses of the word) My nickname for them I don't have a nickname for him - isn't "Bones" sufficient?
oh its painful for me as well (even factoring in the TNG explanation for why there's so fragging many humanoids!).....the Horta's the primary (at times the only) reason I return to TOS.
...though I do wonder how all the "highly imitative" aliens (such as the mock-gangsters in 'a piece of the action') will be handled in the Reboot.
i rather wish we could have the two Boneses on the big screen, much as we had the two Spocks. (maybe the next time there's a ficathon or something, I can request that)

I must admit, I'm really enjoying Karl Urbin's portrayal of Bones though.
