Scotty stuck in transporter buffer 75 years! LaForge is a bit nasty--a bit painful to watch

The Enterprise discovers something VERY unusual. In an old and seemingly empty craft, there are still two humanoids stuck in the transporter buffer. When they activate the controls, they are able to beam someone out of the transporter--good old Scotty from the original Enterprise. It seems he and another man were the last survivors and to stay alive, they put themselves into the transporter....75 years ago! Unfortunately, the other guy did not survive this and now Scotty has to get used to life in an all new century. Unfortunately, it soon becomes apparent that he's almost hopelessly out of date. Even worse, however, is that Commander LaForge isn't all that patient with Scotty when he comes to engineering. In fact, he's very short with him. Sure, Scotty is annoying but LaForge is not especially kind--and all this is very painful to watch. Fortunately, the rest of the show does improve and Mr. Scott is able to prove himself in the end. Overall, the show is a bit painful to watch but enjoyable...especially for fans of the old series.
