Bones!

Yeah! My fave one on TOS! I like him because he always says what he thinks and does not care what others think about him...
And of course his discussions with Spock! He is the only character that tries really hard to discuss with a Vulcan

Bones was the best he didn't take nothing from no one

He was also a MAJOR flirt, i.e., SHORE LEAVE.

And Kirk wasn't? if it wasn't for spock and expecialy Mc Coy Startrek wouldn't have lasted long enough to become a series. Captain Pike would have been a much better selection.

that is a matter of opinion. Simply because it is old doesn't mean it is bad. None of them were bad actors. Now let's get back on topic people.

I love these quotes:

"I'm a Doctor, not a __________!"
and
"He's dead, Jim."

McCoy's great, but McCoy and Spock together is hilarious. He's my fave doctor.

^Lol, yeah

As someone who hasn't seen every episode of TOS, I'm curious- is there a reason why McCoy's nickname is "Bones"?

imzadi76 · **Sun Feb 15, 2004 11:26 pm**

It's a reference to the term 'sawbones.'

Everybody got it at the time TOS aired because that's what they always called doctors in the westerns, which were very popular at the time. By the way, Deforest Kelley's best work was playing bad guys in westerns.

A bit of trivia:
Deforest Kelly was an avid smoker when TOS was filmed. He argued with Roddenberry to have McCoy smoking 'Heatharettes' - a futureistic cigarette full of vitamins and stuff - during the show so he could smoke during filming.
Roddenberry vetoed the idea.

I like this guy too. As Kirk puts it he says Bones and i like how he does his medical praction.

Lt. Commander Warwick · **Tue Apr 20, 2004 10:57 am**

I liked bones, he was one of the best doctors. He did say what was on his mind, but was careful on how he said it. That is what makes a good doctor.
