Progress may have stalled on the big screen although Quentin Tarantino may soon see to that but on television, there are no fewer than 6 Star Trek projects currently running or in production, and the release of a Star Trek: Picard trailer at San Diego Comic Con proved that Gene Roddenberry's creation captures the imagination as strongly as ever.
McCoy, travelling through space in the trusty Enterprise to meet alien races, fight alien races and, more often than not, watch Kirk romance women from alien races. While only running for 3 seasons, the cultural impact of Star Trek is almost immeasurable and a large part of that success rests of the shoulders of its central trio. The friendship and chemistry demonstrated between Kirk, Spock and McCoy encapsulated the Star Trek ethos - 3 beings with different backgrounds, personalities and beliefs coming together for the common good and building lifelong friendships.
While each character dynamic within that triangle was different, Kirk and McCoy's relationship represented the Enterprise's humanity, with both men largely ignoring the boundaries of captain and doctor.

Not only can McCoy perform space battlefield surgery, he can restore families and, after the Captain collapses and is ordered onto a bed, finally get the last word. Doctor Leonard McCoy recording. I'm concerned about Captain Kirk. It was part of the original concept of Star Trek — predating even the character of Leonard McCoy — and was another early sign of the kind of attention to detail that made the show a classic. Nevertheless, the nickname transferred over, and was used in almost every episode when Kirk referred to his chief medical officer.
Clearly, it held some especial importance to creator Gene Roddenberry. Just a side note that in the JJ Abrams alternate timeline, they explain this soon after Kirk and McCoy have met on a shuttle heading for orbit, with McCoy saying that he's joining Starfleet because he has nowhere else to go: " The ex wife took the whole damned planet in the divorce.
