You know… Every time I hear that Chekov’s absence needs to be explained, I sigh. Chekov was on the Reliant in Wrath of Khan. There’s zero reason they can’t just say that. The Khan arc won’t matter, Genesis may still get made and they may need to find a test planet. It’s not that difficult.

What I really still want is to see the probe from Voyage Home to come looking for the whales. Let’s see if Action Jackson Kirk can figure it out without a Bird of Prey or blowing up the 1701-A.
