After seeing the Space Seed episode again, I began to wonder about one of the scenes in TWoK. When Chekov and his Captain first encounter Khan's 'home' on the Ceti Alpha planet, Chekov realizes where they are because of the words "Botany Bay" stenciled on some item (I don't recall what). However, in Space Seed, after Khan's people took the Enterprise, they abandoned their ship, and presumably, everything on it. Later, Kirk says they'll be dropped off at their new world enroute to starbase x (12?), as it would be only a slight detour. I don't think they were going back to pick up the Botany Bay, or any equipment from it. -------

The only problem I had with TWoK compared to Space Seed is that
Khan recognizes Chekov. Chekov wasn't in the series when Khan and
the Enterprise crew first met. (OKAY! I supose Chekov could have
been quite junior then working handing out towels in the gym, or
something...)
