No Rand? No Chappelle?

If a sequel to this film is made (which I think will happen, as long as the film does at least reasonably well), then I can see them holding back a few characters for later introduction in the sequel -- this will help give the sequel some "freshness".

However, I don't know if those characters will be Rand and Chapel. Depending on the time frame of the next film I would like to see Gary Mitchell introduced as a new "secondary character".

Maybe both Rand and Mitchell. That way they can advertise a new "female hottie" -- and even a male hottie for that matter (but for the record, I like the female kind of hotties)

On the serious side, both Rand and Chapel were implied to be very recent arrivals when they made their first TOS appearances. Kirk wasn't used to a female Yeoman yet in "The Corbomite Maneuver", and Chapel had joined the crew in hopes of finding her old beau, something that she couldn't have hoped to do if she joined for the original "Where No Man" mission of going beyond the galactic rim already. And that mission would seem to come between STXI and TOS - assuming that the storyline of STXI doesn't erase the other storylines from existence altogether, of course.

It's too bad that Chekov, too, is suggested to be a new addition to the crew when he first appears - he has to prove himself to people like Uhura.

Agreed.
