And as a result, Chekov ended up with previously unknown medical skills.
Missed opportunities in Trek?
- Thread starter Hey Missy
- Start date
By that point in Kelley's life (given his medical condition) could he have handled the part?
Doesn't make any less sense than Chekov bypassing train and skilled engineers to be made full time Chief Engineer in ST Darkness.
Yes- about halfway through S3 now. Just seems like a miss that it wasn't established from the get-go!
I think David and Carol would have been especially meaningful, especially in the context of the TOS movies as a series.
It was just an expression. I didn't mean that they were literally forced. I just meant it became a necessity when it became clear that Alley would not be returning for whatever reasons.
I was thinking more along the lines of a warrior who could read his enemies' minds well enough to be unbeatable
Modern medicine was invented in Russia,by the well known Russian physician Hippocrovitch.
Fixed that for you.
I actually have a Manchurian Candidate style Deep Space 9 movie idea involving Ro Laren and Tom Riker as the two main characters along with Worf and Tuvok. My idea included cameos from DS9 and VOY and would have told what happened to most everyone since their respective series ended. Instead, we got Star Trek 09.
New Voyages/Phase 2 "To Serve All My Days" features Walter Koenig as a rapidly aged Chekov
As a security officer and former first officer of the Reliant it's not surprising he's picked up some more advanced first aid over the years. But yes, you can tell they rewrote the parts to fit Chekov and Scotty.
I would have really liked it they'd been able to keep the new characters introduced in TWOK like Saavik, Carol, and David Marcus. It would have been interesting to see how they developed over time.
And yes, I now really wish that Saavik had been the traitor in STVI. It would have given her the ending she never got.
I really like this idea. It fits with the available facts, and adds more context to Spock's later decisions.

Oooooh!!!
I really like this idea. It fits with the available facts, and adds more context to Spock's later decisions.I heard it as kind of the opposite. Alley and her agent asked for too much money for her to return, and unbeknownst to them, they were actually asking for more money than DeForest Kelley was getting for STIII.
I would have loved to have seen some Klingon, Cardassian, or Ferengi Borgs.
Hell to the yeah. I also kind of wish we could have seen the reconciled Kirk and Carol Marcus in the never-shot STVI scenes of the crew being gathered.
Picard and Beverly should've become a couple.
The Borg on DS9.
Voyager coming across some systems conquered by the Dominion.
The Maquis crew on Voyager not integrating with Starfleet in the snap of a finger; or at least not all of them. That was unrealistic and not believable. Having the Maquis on board, even though I am certain they would work with the Starfleet crew to make it home, was perfect groundwork for internal conflict--but it was almost entirely wasted.
Also, Voyager was lost and had no access to repairs and standard maintenance for seven years. By the end of the show, that ship should've been beaten up pretty badly...but it looked the same throughout all seven years.
Enterprise was great in seasons 3 and 4 but terrible in seasons 1 and 2. Come to think of it, all the shows (except TOS), were bad in the beginning. I understand it takes time to find the right chemistry and whatnot, but c'mon. There is no excuse for Move Along Home, or the oil monster in Skin of Evil, or sooooo many other laughable things that occurred in the first seasons of the shows.

How about all of Kirk's women: Edith, Carol, Rand, Noel, Miramanee, an adult Miri, that JAG officer, the crazy lady he swapped bodies with...
If Prime universe Chekov is as smart as NuPavel, he probably read a lot and remembered a lot. Plus, a security guy needs basic medical care skills, just as a cop today would.
"Picard and Beverly should've become a couple."
Er no.
"The Borg on DS9."
Hell no
"Voyager coming across some systems conquered by the Dominion".
How? They were nowhere near the Gamma quadrant
"The Maquis crew on Voyager not integrating with Starfleet in the snap of a finger; or at least not all of them."
Yeah that would have made a good season 1 or 2

At the end of DS9, I loved that Kira, the rabid anti-Cardy freedom fighter, had come full circle to become a behind-the-scenes fighter for Cardassian freedom. What a brilliant full circle story. But I was just a little disappointed that she then went back to DS9 at the end. I think it would have been amazing if she'd stayed there, stranded and in hiding in her former enemy's homeland, helping to direct the Cardassian rebellion.
Or Ruth!
Or Antonia she seemed to be his main regret, apart from Edith.
Kinda think that's the point of people suggesting other characters. Antonia is a brand new character with no history that suddenly we see and are expected to buy as Kirk's great love and dreamed of paradise when there are a variety of other in canon characters that could have been used to create a real tension in that scene because we know Kirk's history with them and how difficult it is for him to leave them.
