Or maybe photon torpedoes wouldn't have made a big enough explosion.

Chekhov the trouble maker...

Why did the Romulans start using Klingon ship design? Did they not have the model of the Romulan ship when they filmed that episode? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeov
 

Remember the scene in the "Wrath of Khan" where Khan, who'd never actually met Chekov, say he remembers him?

Like maybe he remembered hearing, during his short stay on the Enterprise, all about Chekov's rep for screwing things up......?

Re: OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeov
 

How do you know they just didn't show the meeting?

'Hi, I'm Chekov.'
'Hi, I'm Khan.'

Not exactly noteworthy.

Re: OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeov
 

For chekov, they'll most like insert him into a scene with kahn as a background thing.

The transporters were "invented" because they didn't have the cash in the first few episodes to make more models or at least have them done quick enough, so they thought up a way to move people between the ship and the planet that didn't involve making anything expensive.

Pfft, all you scoffers say what you will. For me the Original Star Trek is still the spirit of ST, and Captain Kirk is still The Man http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I remember being in 1st grade when it was new, and the hottest topic of conversation at first recess the next day was always last night's episode of Star Trek. Except, LOL, at the age of 6, the word "trek" was not in our vocabulary, and we were all convinced they were saying "Star Track" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And yes, I'll be 47 in early October http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

While Khan was on the Enterprise he went to the toilet. Chekov was on the Enterprise, he just didn't work on the bridge yet, and Khan had to wait for Chekov to finish in the toilet. I think as the story goes, when Chekov came out and Khan rushed in he glared at Chekov with a "I'll remember you" look. This is I believe a common explanation.

ROFLMAO !!!

Man, I hear that ! I can't tell you HOW MANY times I've Chekov'd like that...

Pho-torps = small amount of antimatter packed inside a warhead.
Warp core = a heck of a lot more antimatter packed inside storage tanks that can be blown up.

It's kinda like comparing a stick of dynamite to an ammo dump..... or a nuclear powerplant http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

RL: They had the Klingon ships on-hand, and used them because they didn't have more than one Romulan ship - IIRC. But I wouldn't put much stock in the "more-than-one-model" explanation. Its merely a conjecture.
In-Character: The Romulans traded several of their cloaking devices with the Klingons in exchange for a number of their battlecruisers. Very logical, considering the fact that those two races are at each others' throats in other series http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
