This is the episode on which the movie ST:TWOK is based. After watching it, I realized that there were a couple of discrepancies between this episode and the movie. 1. Mr. Chekov did not appear in the episode at all. In the movie, Khan said 'I never forget a face', but in the tv show he never saw Chekov. I realize that this is not too difficult to explain. (i.e. Chekov was resting, had other duties and was not on the bridge, etc.) 2. When Khan took over the Enterprise, he decided that he no longer needed his old ship, the Botany Bay, and decided to release it from tow out in space. How do they explain how it got to the planet Alpha-Ceti 5. In the movie, they were using the cargo bays of the Botany Bay for shelter. If anyone has explanations for these, please post them on the net. Tom Prionas pur-ee!tp
