     I saw the Star Trek episode "Space Seed" a few days 
ago.  This is the episode on which the movie ST:TWOK is based.
After watching it, I realized that there were a couple of
discrepancies between this episode and the movie.  

	1.  Mr. Chekov did not appear in the episode at all.
In the movie, Khan said 'I never forget a face', but in the 
tv show he never saw Chekov.  I realize that this is not 
too difficult to explain. (i.e. Chekov was resting, had other
duties and was not on the bridge, etc.)

	2.  When Khan took over the Enterprise,  he decided 
that he no longer needed his old ship, the Botany Bay, and
decided to release it from tow out in space.  How do they 
explain how it got to the planet Alpha-Ceti 5.   In the
movie, they were using the cargo bays of the Botany Bay
for shelter.

	If anyone has explanations for these, please post 
them on the net.

Khan read all the tech manuals on the Enterprise in Space Seed,
so probably saw some personnel files too - that's could be where
he saw Chekhov's face.
