> Was Chekov in the original Khan TV episode? (Space Seed).
> In the movie TWOK; Khan and and Chekov recognize each other but I
> do not remember Chekov being in the original episode.

> No, he wasn't in it.  I posted this to the net a little under a year
> ago.  He was *not* in the TV episode.  ANd, yes, he *could've* been a
> junior officer working int the Enterprise laundry room or something.
> So, there'd be an explanation for why he remembers Khan, but not how
> Khan could know him. (Actually, Khan was probably just being polite....)

>This is one of those bugs that everybody has picked up on at one time
>or another.  There was some notion a while back that Chekov had learned
>about Khan whilst reviewing log files of the Enterprise.  Something like that.
>The problem about Khan being "polite" is that he says "I never forget a face..."
>Either he's lying or Chekov was some minor officer (and Khan has a DARN good
>memory for faces) or somebody blew it.


	Isn't that called "Superior Intellect" or something? !
