Chekov’s Hair Club For Starfleet Crewmembers

[Maurice]

There’s no question that Davey Jones was an inspiration for Chekov. There’s a memo that flat out says so.

I'm trying to work out a how a Brit of Davy's background would say a "Nuclear Vessels"

This was written two weeks after Star Trek's debut:

Keeping our teen-age audience in mind, also keeping aware of current trends, let's watch for a young, irreverent, English-accent Beatle type to try on the show, possibly with an eye to him reoccurring. Like the smallish fellow* who looks to be a hit on "The Monkees." Personally I find this type spirited and refreshing, and I think our episodes could use that kind of lift. Let's discuss.

yes, exactly, the hope was to make him the teen heart throb of the cast. They wanted to capture the teenage girl demographic...this is pretty typical in most series, even ST:

Chekov, Wesley, Tom Paris, Bashir(?) (Or Jake Sisko) and so on...

Then you had the characters that the MILFs and Moms lusted after, like Kirk, Riker, Chakotay, Sisko, Archer...

(while the more 'academic' Moms and MILFs lusted after Spock and Picard)

pretty standard casting techniques

... when I get a couple more done I'll make a thread in Fan Fiction and start collecting them all there.

For all those those who've been holding their breath, you can exhale now. The fake musical is on the loose: Hey hey, We're from Starfleet.

I just added a poll to that thread. Anyone who cares, please vote so I know whether or not to keep spending time on this little project. Thanks!
