Also not Sulu if Sam Kirk is hanging around. Sulu was some kind of xenobiologist (xenobotanist?) in the opening episodes of TOS. The move to alpha shift helmsman came later.

A cliffhanger… I was hoping they wouldn’t introduce those. I expect Sam and M’Benga will be the only one who makes it out alive… expecting to see Sulu and Chekov introduced soon.

Need to rewatch TOS then, memory’s got a bit rusty. Thanks!

Wouldn’t prime!Chekov be like 12 around this time frame?

Nevermind, forgot that Chekov wasn’t introduced until Season 2… but Sulu is a possibility.

Chekov was on the Enterprise during s1. Continuity with TWOK requires it. Plus some of the star dates for s2 episodes that starred Chekov where set before the star date for Space Seed.
But yes at this point we are ~6 years before TOS so Chekov would be in his late teens.

Stardates in TOS (and SNW) are just random numbers. You can’t extrapolate anything from them.
GaiusGornicusCaesar@startrek.website 10 months ago
That’s true, TWOK requires him being on Enterprise for Season 1, or at least Space Seed. I wouldn’t hold stardates too closely since they basically pulled them out of a hat and used whatever was pulled. But he would be in his late teens.
