Incidentally did the wriggly things Khan put in Chekov and his mates ears kill them?
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?
- Thread starter Amasov
- Start date
If you saw the movie, why are you asking that question?
Its years since I watched it on TV and can't remember if the wriggly things killed them.
Seriously? You can't remember if Chekov survived TWOK or not?
Few of us truly care about Chekov, so perhaps the forgetfulness is forgivable. But we all feel Paul Winfield's pain.....especially as he was repeatedly violently dying in one '80s movie after another.....not to mention when he was done in by killer cockroaches in a '70s atrocity while far lesser ''talents'' like George Peppard survived without a scratch. So, to sum up, and offer a controversial TREK opinion, I'll reference another actor from the cockroach flick and recommend Jackie Earle Haley for the next TREK-captain slot. He has residual experience after all. He was very likely the first actor ever to watch TOS on TV in a theatrical film. (''Tomorrow Is Yesterday'', shown in THE OUTSIDE MAN.)
Short answer: no..
Do you remember Chekov in the Search for Spock? There’s your answer.
He seemed in the pink.
Ah, the 80's... 
I'd rather not. His outfit still gives me waking nightmares.
Phil Farrand once described his clothing choice as looking like the little Dutch boy from the paint cans. That's not quite true, but I see where he was going with that.
Thanks, grandpa.
That Dr McCoy was able to restore Chekov's hearing (I assume the Ceti Eels destroy the middle and inner ears on their way to the brain) makes me wish mine could be. I need the hair cells in my cochlea replaced.
More like a Dutch boy who went swimming in paint cans containing pastel pink.
Either that, or a deranged Quaker that got into a transporter accident with pink furry rabbit Ralphie from Christmas Story.
Yeah, NuTrek is completely missing out by dressing people in somewhat contemporary casual wear and speaking like normal people. </s>
It's not futuristic!
Try having a red hair gene while on a ventilator. Semi-conscious the whole time, hearing what the medical staff are saying, but it not registering in your conscious mind, so your subconscious goes "I can use this".
Maybe they chalk it up to the mushrooms in space.

'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

I'll probably get lynched for saying this but the spinoff TOS movies never grabbed me much so I never paid much attention as i sat there munching my popcorn.
That's fair.
