Chekov... brain damage?

[S'kai]

It wouldn't obliterate any traces of Valeris's DNA. What it would do is to obliterate the informational content of finding those DNA traces. . . .

OTHO, maybe phasers incorporated guncam technology, and took a picture everytime it fired. Or maybe sometimes SF does not get there be for real life does.

IN TUC Chekov was a victem of bad writing not brain damage.

I could believe that.

It seems like after his bump in TVH, things weren't quite right with Pavel.

Specifically, two instances in TUC:

1. "Why not simpwy waperize them?"
2. "If the shoe fits..."

I mean, isn't he supposed to be the Chief of Security?? Yet he makes basic blunders, such as not realizing a phaser at maximum setting sets off alarms and that Crewman Dax obviously couldn't wear standard-issue magnetic boots (giving Dax an easy excuse out of space walks!).

And on another note, Chekov should've disciplined Valeris for firing a maximum-setting phaser in a crowded room (and distroying that poor chef's pot!).

But seriously, he embarrassed himself and was shown up by that snippy little Vulcan. Tsk tsk

Well he did have one of those alien eel things in his head during The Wrath of Khan.

It could be the all wodka, I mean vodka.
