chekov's first name
- Thread starter Greg Cox
- Start date
I believe it was the first time, except possibly when he introduced himself to Khan during Space Seed. 
Yeoman Martha Landon calls him "Pavel" and "Pav" in "The Apple."
Right! Thanks for reminding me. I'm glad I double-checked that.
It should have occurred to me to check the other episode where Chekov got the girl . . . .
(This is particularly embarrassing because I have a photo from "The Apple," signed by both Walter Koenig and Celeste Yarnall, framed on the wall of my office--only a few feet away from my computer!)

I see what you did there.
He didn't exactly "get" Irina in "The Way to Eden," though. First she dropped out of the Academy, and presumably she would have been up on some kind of charges connected with all the stuff the space hippies pulled.
However, he may have "gotten" Tamoon in "Gamesters of Triskelion."
Sadly, though, she couldn't pronounce his name: "Chee-koof! It is a very nice name."

Well, they smooched in the auxiliary control room . . . .
But Irina was just using him. Chekov thought she was really being romantic, but it was just part of her deception. So he still didn't REALLY get the girl. Sure, he may have gotten a kiss out of the deal, but it wasn't an honest kiss, if you see my meaning.
Yeah, but we don't know what happened in the space janitor's closet during the commercial break.

Or what happened back at the Academy...
Looking through my files for information to answer a question re another post on this forum, I ran across this 1968 article from TV Guide. I thought it was somewhat connected to this topic.
And please, if you folks are getting tired of all of the TV Guide clips, let me know and I'll stop.

^That's an intriguing clipping. I would guess that the "distaff counterpart" to Spock is a reference to T'Pring; the columnist may have mistaken a guest character for a new recurring role. I suppose it's possible that Roddenberry was considering adding a new recurring female character, but if so, we probably would've heard about it from other sources.
I wonder what the "shock for shock's sake" line is referring to.
And it's interesting that they bill the story editor as Dorothy Fontana rather than D. C. Fontana. I gathered that when female writers/professionals used their initials back then, it was often to hide their gender as a shield against sexism. I guess Fontana was less secretive about it than I thought?

Re Shatner's "two children"?
He actually has three daughters, Leslie (born 1958), Lisabeth (born 1960), and Melanie (born 1964).
I knew all three were definitely around by the time of Mr Lemli.

I'm just imagining Ensign Krebs saying "work!!!!"
My thinking exactly.
The Man Trap? The initial reviews almost universally mentioned the horror of it:
Very interesting, I hadn't thought about that.
This wasn't TV Guides fault. The press often obtained their information from releases put out by the studio. Desilu initially hired McFadden, Strauss, Eddy, and Irwin (MSEI) to handle the public relations for the show, and they neglected to update Shatner's biographical information. Here's a portion of that release:
MSEI was "let go" right before the second season started.

I'll say they did! "Hair"?????????

Her first five writing credits were as "Dorothy C. Fontana", so the twit at "Ben Casey" wasn't fooling anyone when he forced her to switch to "D.C. Fontana".
Besides, there's a picture of her in "The Making of Star Trek", so...
