    We met Walter several times when I was growing up. He loves telling fans in “Space Seed” Chekov was “holding up the toilet” when Khan had to go. Khan told him, “You. I will never forget your face.”
    Koenig is a great guy and super gracious. DeForest Kelley, Takei, and Majel Barrett were amazing and lovely too. ❤️
    Grateful to have been raised in a Trekkie home. 🖖🏼

    It was to be assumed that since the Enterprise was already on it's FIVE YEAR MISSION when dealing with Kahn, Chekov 'was' already a crew member of The Enterprise. Chekov just was not a senior officer serving on the bridge yet. And Kahn only recognized Chekov's face from memorizing the Enterprise's data logs and crew manifest.

      Koenig had a joke at conventions that Chekov working on the lower decks of the Enterprise took his sweet time in a bathroom stall one day without realizing that Khan was impatiently waiting outside with a digestive emergency brought on by his heightened, augmented metabolism leading him to suffer an embarrassing accident. Upon Chekov exiting the stall Khan locked eyes as he shoved passed him declaring: 'I NEVER forget a face!"

    Regarding the design of the Reliant, it is also interesting to note that in the original concept drawing, the ship’s nacelles where intended to be above the saucer section, not below. When the drawing ended up on someone’s desk for review (can’t remember who), this person was looking at this drawing from a short distance, but the drawing was upside down. They liked it and went ahead with it.

      Sadly you often have to spoon feed them and remind them that there are far more people in his department who _don't_ work on the bridge than those who do before they catch on that he may indeed have met Khan, just not on screen. Indeed, since he would have been a very junior officer at the time, he may have been one of the people assigned to babysit the guests, so they may remember him even more than Kirk.

    If you are using the fictional star date timeline rather than air date, Chekov's character appears before Space Seed.

    Chekov's earliest episode -- going by stardate -- was "Catspaw" [3018.2], whereas "Space Seed" happens on stardate 3141.9, which was 123.7 stardate units LATER. Since 1,000 stardate units equals 1 Earth-year, that means Chekov was on the Enterprise at least 0.1237 Earth-years -- or 45 days + 4 hours + 19 minutes 52 seconds -- before they discovered the BOTANY BAY.
    It ain't a mistake if you put the episodes into stardate order.

      If Joachim was Khan’s son by Marla McGivers, he would have been no older than 15 at the time ST2 took place. Judson Scott looks far older than that. He could have been Khan’s son from another woman and been one of the crew revived from suspended animation in the original ‘Space Seed’. (Additional note: Khan calls one of his crewmen by name in the original episode-‘Joachin’ but the spelling is slightly different and he was considerably older than Jud Scott. Plus, they look nothing alike).

      @@Cydonia2020 there is a great book by Greg Cox called "To Reign In Hell" that covers Khan's 15 year exile. Consider it carbon or not, but the author explains Khan's youthful followers as second generation supermen and superwomen, children of the original 72 survivors. Their souped up DNA made them mature much quicker than normal, so that's why those 15 and 14 year olds we see in the movie appear to be in their 20s. Joachim, in the movie, was the son of Khan's henchman Joaquin from the TV show. Joaquin was killed by rebellious supermen in the novel.

It detailed the captain's orders, explosions on the bridge killing Spock and others, and the captain's orders to abandon ship. I went to the theater expecting to see all this -- just not so soon. It was the Kobayashi Maru simulation. I wonder if this was Roddenberry's leak.

    There's a deleted scene in the movie between Kirk and Spock that included the reveal that Saavik was half-Romulan. Another one in the travel pod indicated that Sulu was up for the command of the Excelsior (even though the model hadn't been designed yet). Furthermore, the Regula 1 space station was a reuse of the Orbital Office Complex from TMP, only turned upside down and with the smaller office modules removed. Additionally, the shot of Spock's casket on Genesis wasn't in the earliest test screening for the movie, and was added for the final release. 🖖😎👍

    Luckily I have a copy of the novelization of Wrath Of Khan. There actually was a segment about the kid. I have to read the whole book now. But from what you say, it would’ve been odd having the kid there and it would’ve been messed up if that toddler crawled up to that device, then the ship exploded, especially when he couldn’t be seen since Ceti Alpha V til that point. Glad they didn’t include it, personally. But I will now try to find time to read the book.
