BUT- In TWOK, Khan confronts Chekov and Terrel on Ceti Alpha 5, remarking that he never forgets a face, doesn't know Terrell but remembers Chekov. Now, the TV episode that TWOK is based upon, where Khan and his superior race are defrosted by Kirk and company- NOWHERE, NOWHERE is Chekov present. I recall the Chekov character did not make an appearance until the NEXT season, so how did Khan recognize him in TWOK? Huh, huh??? LWS hou2d!lws *

Ok, what's bothering ME is: Chekov and Terrel think they are on CA 6, and Khan explains that it has exploded. Presuming that planets are numbered in increasing order as the orbital radius increases, does this mean that CA 5's orbit expanded beyond that of CA 7? Has anyone in Trekland ever addressed this? -Steve Miller ihnp4!bambi!steve

Yes it was answered before... Could the person who posted the story about Khan and Chekov being in sickbay together and Kahn having to use the john (back when this question came up 6 months ago) repost. (No, really -- it is better than it sounds.)-- Fred @ DEC Ultrix Applications Center INET: avolio@decuac.DEC.COM UUCP: {decvax,seismo,cbosgd}!decuac!avolio
