The Original Crew - What became of them?

[F. King Daniel]

Re: Kirk's crew - What happened to them?

It seems wrong to have a thread like this for all the spin offs but not for the show that started it. Even though we know what happened to some of them let's speculate about their fates anyway.

Kirk - Not much to say. He's dead and buried. It wouldn't have been my choice for his swan song but there you have it.

Spock - Still in the alternate universe/timeline helping his people rebuild their civillisation until otherwise informed by the new movies.

Bones - He was really old and frail in Encounter At Farpoint. It seems unlikely he would still be alive 28 years later but until someone tells me otherwise as far as I'm concerned Bones is still kicking

Scotty - 23 years after Relics I don't see Scotty still travelling around in that shuttle. He was planning to retire before his transporter accident and I think he probably would have eventually. I'm sure Scotty would have remained in contact with anyone from his time who was still alive in the 24th century.

Sulu - Based on Janeway's comments about him looking nothing like his portrait I have to assume Sulu is dead by the time she joins Starfleet. Chakotay mentions a Captain Sulu in another episode but there's no way to know if it was Hikaru or Demora. My guess is Sulu died sometime between the flashback portion of the Chakotay episode and Janeway joining starfleet.

Uhura - We have no idea what happened to her. I'd like to think she's still alive in the 24th century possibly working in a high position in Starfleet.

Checkov - If Bones is still alive in the late 24th century then there's every chance the much younger Checkov is. Probably still working for Starfleet in some capacity.

They all got younger and sexier, and are still having adventures today!

I hate how many characters lived on into the TNG era, it made sense for Spock. Came across as convoluted mess for the rest.

I could see them living into the TNG timeframe, but definitely no longer in Starfleet--maybe a guest lecturer at the Academy once in a blue moon but that'd be all.

Who else was there beside ancient Bones in the 1st episode and Scotty in a buffer? Did I forget someone?

Sulu and Rand popped up on VOYAGER, but only in a flashback to a previous era.

 

[Marsden]

I was wondering about them, but they were a flashback to TUC so that really isn't in the TNG era, is it?

Exactly.

Sarek. Kor. Kang. Koloth. Arn Darvin.

 

[Ronald Held]

One Vulcan and four Klingons

 

[Marsden]

That's a good Poker hand.

I'll see your fifty quatloos and raise you two hundred.

But as for the crew of the Enterprise, having as many as three show up in later series may strike some as unrealistic (even though it's an unrealistic universe).

Kor

Four. If you include Kirk from Star Trek: Generations.

Kirk - Dead.

Spock - Believed dead.

McCoy - So old might as well be dead.

Scotty - Returned from the dead.

Sulu - Maybe dead.

Uhura - Speaks to the dead.

Chekov - Buries the dead.

Trip - Not dead.

Oh... sorry

Checkov - If Bones is still alive in the late 24th century then there's every chance the much younger Checkov is. Probably still working for Starfleet in some capacity.

Koenig is only 5 years younger than Shatner, so I don't think we can say Chekov (depending on source, born 2241) was "much younger" than Kirk (Born 2233).

By the TNG era, and if 2241 was his birth year, by the events of Nemesis, Chekov would be 138.

By Star Trek 2009, when Romulus is destroyed, it's 2387, making Chekov 146.

I personally like the histories that were given in one of Shatner's books. He pulled from the actors' real lives.

Sulu got into politics and worked his way into the Federation Council. George Takei had been into politics in the later '70s and still remains outspoken in political issues to this day.

Uhura worked on getting better outreach programs for Starfleet to enlist beings from many different worlds. Nichelle Nichols had worked with NASA to encourage women and minorities to get into the space program.

Lt. Kyle was killed by a drunk shuttlecraft pilot in December 2264.

Kidding aside, we see him as Commander Kyle on the Reliant in TWOK.

I think you might not know the film Kor was riffing on.

A single term San Fransisco city council person iirc. As I remember the story, at the time if a TV station interviewed a candidate, the station had to give their opponent "equal time."

Takei's opponent sued a station saying that every time the station showed a rerun of Star Trek, the station had to give him (her?) equal time on air for the amount of time Takei was on screen.

The station stopped rerunning Star Trek for the duration of the campaign.

He ran for public office a couple of time in Los Angeles, but never won. He was appointed to board of directors of the Southern California Rapid Transit District in the 70s.
