I dunno, I don't see it. I like Pegg, and I'm sure he could do a good accent but... he just doesn't look anything like Scotty. I know that's probably not the standard you should go by, but when you've started off with the casting of Sylar who kinda looks like a Spock, and Chekov kind of looks like a Chekov (the others I haven't seen pictures of so I can't really judge), it's kinda disappointing to suddenly be thrown to "Scrawny balding guy who looks nothing like Scotty, as Scotty!"
I was still kinda hoping for Paul McGillion of Stargate Atlantis, who I thought would have done a decent job at it.
(And I still think Gary Sinise would be a great McCoy).
I agree, I think McGillion would've been better. Scotty is older than the rest of the crew, but Pegg at 37 might be a little too old. Plus, James Doohan was a good looking chap in his younger days, whereas Pegg is, um, not.

Times like this, I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my Star Trek icon...
