I know that feeling with shows I’ve watched many, many times as well.
I want to experiment with mesc...
True that...
Unfortunately.
Yeah, well, in the sane world it still is considered those things.
Hollywood and the media do not represent the whole world.
Ehh.... arrgh.. I don’t wanna KNOW that....
No, no you don’t.
The funny thing is that the episode "Space Seed" was a first season episodes, but in the movie "The Wrath of Kahn," Kahn says he knows Chekov. To me, that implied that the character was always there but he wasn't promoted to the bridge crew until later.

There are better films I can spend my time watching, that’s for sure.
My parents were struggling with one parent working and a few kids and so they didn't get color till 1969 :(
I recall the magic of seeing TV in color in the department stores before then.
I was reading about CBS The Lucy Show in the early 1960s which was her first show after I Love Lucy. She started to record them in color before CBS would broadcast in color because she saw the rerun $$$$potential and owned the show, CBS held back on color because RCA owned by competitor Peacock NBC made the first color TVs. Lucille Ball Arnez was a brilliant business Woman.
Then mid 1960s almost all black and white TV shows were broadcast in color the new season.
I recall reading that the first one or two seasons of Lost in Space were in black and white but they filmed the spaceship Jupiter II flying scenes in them in color to be able to reuse them when the show went to color.
Yes, that may have been a lazy slip up by the writers of WOK, but there’s no real problem with Chekov being made out to have been a member of the crew, off the bridge and unseen in season 1.
The actors joked that there was a line for the bathroom and Chekov cut ahead of Kahn and pissed him off. ;D
They really blew it in the new movies though. In one TOS episode Chekov says he’s 23 (no reason to lie), that would make (IIRC I’m not gonna look it up) him 14 during the first reboot movie where he says he 17. I don’t see how the changes in the timeline could have resulted in some Russian kid being born 3 years earlier. Maybe he’s actually not the same character but a previously non-existent older brother with the same name. ;d Yes that stupid explanation could work. Regular Chekov sure didn’t seem like some wunderkind boy genius.
I would have liked to see a Rand and Nurse Chapel in the new movies, no Rand at all and Chapel mentioned in passing as having been pumped and dumped by Kirk (how very respectful of the character). Chapel is the one who should have hooked up with Spock, not Uhura (WTF?)
And what of the mysterious “# 1” the original first officer under Pike. They blew an opportunity to do something new and explore that character. If Chapel (both characters were played by Majel Barrett) was there too that would have hilarious.
Bastards, I like these reboot movies less the more I think about them. Still they aren’t as bad as “Nemesis” and “Insurrection”. Star Trek needs better GD writers!
A while back they remastered the show and upgraded the effects shots while keeping intact the actor scenes so if you get a blu ray dvd set that is what you get. The original less than state of the art shots have been phasered out.
” I recall reading that the first one or two seasons of Lost in Space “
“Loused Up In Space”.
I was a little kid, and I couldn’t take it.
I told my dad I would have murdered Dr. Smith by the 4th episode : )
RE Dr. Smith:
VERY irritating character... the Robot should have fried him with that electrical discharge thingey he did...
You know those ‘Jurassic Park’ movies? All of the human characters were so annoying I was rooting for the dinosaurs.
“...All of the human characters were so annoying ...”
Not the Australian big game hunter in the first one; he was the only one with any common sense. He had a semi-auto SPAS-12 shotgun, and of course, because it was a Speilberg movie, the six-foot (man-sized) Raptor won.
” Robot should have fried him with that electrical discharge thingey he did...”
Had they done that, I would have stuck it out.
