Final sad Fates of TOS crew....

true. at a modest fraction of c you would experience time dilation noticeably but not really significantly.
it's not until you get REALLY close to the speed of light (and also start approaching infinite mass) and then yes, its a big problem. in the trek verse, there is no relative point of view. all the clocks chime on time, everywhere in the galaxy

the only time that lower fractional time dialation might be an issue would be for very long term ships, but again its a matter of days or weeks difference.
Exactly. Look how much the role of women in society has changed in the last seventy years of American history, albeit for the better. Heck, it's been less than a hundred years since American women gained the right to vote.
Cultures are not static.
This is Star Trek, sir! Static is our middle name!
Just taking into account live action official canon,.(No cartoons,books or fan films)it's pretty sad where much of the crew ended up. Kirk made it decades into the future by a time ribbon only to die crushed by a suspension bridge. Spock lived a natural life decades to that same timeframe and died 25 years after Kirk in an Alternate Reality ( in the past) that he helped create. McCoy lived a long natural life decades later and currentl whereabouts/fate unknown. Scottys pattern was pulled out of an old transporter alive and well decades into the future. Last know whereabouts....traveling space In an Enterprise D shuttle craft. The rest of the crew fate unknown.
Not so. It is well known and documented that The Original Series Pavel Chekov met his end being mauled by a South Tyconian Beaversquatch while he was camping in the Trump Bros. nature preserve on Tyconia IV.
Heh. This makes me remember TOS novel 'The Kobayashi Maru', where several characters describe how they handled the test. Chekov's response to one of his tests - a cat-and-mouse scenario on an abandoned space station where the 'winner' is the person who survives the longest - is to 'kill' himself and everyone in the group who had taken him captive. Which, naturally, doesn't go down well with his instructors. While they're tearing Pavel a new one, they tell him about the cadet who had the best solution to the test they've ever seen. Chekov knows the cadet was Kirk before they even mention his name :-)
I think TOS Chekov had advanced quite well for his abilities by the events of TWOK. Kelvin Chekov might fare better, assuming he can tear himself away from hitting on the ladies long enough to focus on career and promotion prospects :-)
I don't, it's a bit silly. It really don't like some writers tendencies to elevate the TOS cast to almost godlike status with everyone having awesome careers and jobs after their on screen adventures ended. Why would Uhura become president of the UFP? She was never portrayed as being particularly ambitious or having an interest in politics etc., it's just not a career path that feels like it fits her character as shown on screen.
What's even worse is some novel pretending Scotty helped designing the Sovereign class, give me a break, this is completely unrealistic. Scotty was a competent engineer, maybe even a great one but no matter how good he was, NO ONE misses several decades of technological development, catches up immediately and becomes useful again in a matter of months, that's just not going to happen.
Although it is silly (along with 140yo Starfleet Intelligence Uhura from the novelverse), I'd vote for Uhura before I'd vote for Archer. His political career actually made it into canon... 
I would argue that a political career fits very well with what we see of Uhura in the modern films - driven to excellence, fiercely determined, idealistic. And that what we see of Uhura in the older stuff is just so small that one can't really draw any major conclusions from it. All I can really say of her based on them is: good officer, likes to sing and dance, maybe a bit of a romantic and possibly religious or at least interested in religion intellectually. Other than taking the easy way out and saying she stayed in Starfleet her entire career, I don't see how those would support any particular supposed new career path. But I also don't see how they're at all contradictory to one, either.
The Scotty example is less logical, though I think it would very much depend on the exact circumstances involved. I'm not sure exactly how much time there would be between Relics and whenever the Sovereign hit the design table (or if Scotty was actually helping on the project when it started or only came on towards the very end). And it would obviously depend on how much and what kind of help Scotty was providing. Given a few months to a year to learn new technology, I could see him helping out in a subordinate role as way to learn the rest of what he needs to learn on the job. Being in charge of any part of the project would be weird.
Actually, Eddie Paskey quit the show during the third season: "He had been having cluster headaches that were further aggravated by the set lighting. In a scene in which he received a "Spock pinch" and was thrown against a railing, he felt his back go out. At this point, Eddie knew he could no longer handle the job's activities."

Bill Blackburn (Mr. Hadley) was there almost to the end, though.

Nope. Leslie's last appearance is "Is There In Truth No Beauty?".
I didn't see that episode listed on Eddie Paskey's third season appearances to be honest, Myko! The Enterprise Incident and And The Children Shall Lead are the only two I saw!

Memory alpha's list is complete: https://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Leslie
It also has an image of him in ITITNB.

My assumption on prime/nu Chekov is that in the Kelvin timeline, Andrei Chekov got leave at a different time, and hence he and his wife had their first son a lot earlier, but still gave him the same name. The prime Chekov is the younger brother, who never had an older brother, IYSWIM.

Of course he was in In Truth!!!! He was the guy on duty that Kirk was shouting at and yet Kirk's words didn't make any sense to him next to the turbo lift!!! How could I forget that?? The page I was looking up was faulty, like my memory is getting!
