A razão pela qual você não se lembra de Scotty perder um dedo é que Scotty, o personagem, não deveria estar perdendo um dedo. Qualquer cena em que você possa ver o dedo que falta é filmagem de goofs. Close-ups de sua mão foram filmados usando uma mão dupla.
Eddie Paskey, que interpretou o personagem de fundo TOS, Tenente Leslie, substituiu Doohan por alguns episódios que exigiam closes das mãos de Scotty.
Da Memória Alfa:
He was the hand-double of James Doohan in "Wolf in the Fold" and "That Which Survives". Doohan was self-conscious about the fact that he was missing the middle finger of his right hand (due to a D-Day combat injury while serving with the Royal Canadian Artillery), so Paskey's hands were used in close-ups.

Uma lista de erros de filmagem do wiki:
Despite his efforts, the injured hand can be seen in several Star Trek episodes: "The Trouble With Tribbles", "Tomorrow Is Yesterday", "The Enemy Within", "The Ultimate Computer" and "Catspaw", as well as in The Search for Spock when giving parts from the USS Excelsior to Dr. Leonard McCoy, in The Final Frontier when Nyota Uhura brings him dinner on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-A, and in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics", when the missing finger is clearly apparent as Scotty offers Captain Jean-Luc Picard a drink while on a re-creation of the original Enterprise bridge.
