Star Trek

Hmmm, I guess I thought his "impersonation" was a necessary adjunct to being curmudgeonly. (I have some experience at this, and often inadvertenly sound like McCoy myself). At least he never did the Southern accent.


On the other hand, the extended slapstick bit of getting Kirk on board the enterprise and annoyingly jabbing him in the neck with a new batch of cure every 3 minutes was my favorite thing in the entire movie.

I don't usually care for slapstick, but this struck me as quintessentialy Star Trek. (The Augustous Gloup slapstick bit did not, and so I was pretty 'meh' on that.)

Now I'm pretty familiar with Star Trek, but the episodes tend to merge together in my memory ... so I can't tell you categorically if there was an episode or episodes where McCoy did this to Kirk, I simply get the impression its a brilliant synthesis of their working relationship.
