So that's Bester's day job, making up names and gleefully lobbing future-technology to the locals to study!

I did not laugh at all when Chekov took that tumble. However, while hearing Sigourney Weaver's skiing accident in WORKING GIRL which temporarily placed her leg in a cast, I did laugh along with most of the theatergoers....probably because it was as un-Ripley-like as one could get. That ''WHOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!'' still echoes in my chimpanzee brain.

I didn't laugh at Checkov, but then I don't laugh when han answers leia with "I know."

Nobody laughed at that either, because Han was about to be turned into a Popsicle.

Yeah, I never got the sense that Han's line was supposed to be perceived as humorous.

Probably among the most serious moments of the trilogy.

But back on the topic of Chekov, no, I don't laugh at him falling because serious injury isn't funny in something like this. It's not like a practically-invincible cartoon character slipping on a banana peel or something.
