    Yeah, but where did the transporter hate come from?

    And he continued bitching about the job after he was clearly free to retire from it again.

      Him being back on the ground and realizing how harrowing day to day space travel actually was?

      I think after a month of being planetside he became extremely risk adverse. He thought it was all over.

      His phobias went away in subsequent movies, so I guess he just got used to it all over again. Asking someone the age to upend their life twice in as many years has to be challenging.

      'Cause McCoy is ride or die with Kirk. He may not like it, but damned if he’s gonna let his buddy fuck up the timeline on his own.

        I guess. I just wish they toned down the crankiness because he was genuinely interested in science, medicine and exploration in TOS and it’s like he just stopped giving a shit.
