In theStar Trekoral chronicle " The Fifty - Year Mission : The Next 25 Years " by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross , Ronald D. Moore state that a thinned line of duologue addressed whether Scotty wanted to live what happened to thecast ofStar Trek : The Original Series . Read Moore ’s explanation in his quote below :
I set out to do a show that was nostalgic and sentimental and that would vibrate with what people cared about . in the first place , Troi was pass to call for Scotty if he wanted to know what happened to his fellow aboard the enterprisingness . There was a line in a scene that got trim back out between Troi and Scotty where she enounce , “ Would you wish to recognize what happened to all your booster and house , ” and he said , “ No , I ’m not quick to hear that . ” That was the closemouthed allusion we were going to make . My thought is it would clutter it up a slight bit to make verbatim references , since once you bring up Bones and say that Mr. Spock is James Bond now and underground on Romulus , you have to talk about everybody else , and we did n’t want to say what happened to everybody else because we did n’t want to interlock ourselves into it .
