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......?

I was at my one and only Star Trek convention in Phoenix a few years ago when George Takei explained that, in a joking matter, that the reason Khan remembers Chekov is that Khan had to go to the bathroom and Chekov happened to be the one who was making him wait. That's why he remembers him.

I can't make a habit of watching this new CGI version of ST, but I did watch the Balance of Terror episode. Since this came on at midnight on Sunday night here in Tampa, I think I dozed off a couple of times during it. But from what I saw of it, it was a little different as far as the ships and some other special effects. The comet tail they were trying to use to see the Romulan ship looked much better, and the ships definitely had been touched up. But it's been awhile since I've seen this episode, so I don't know everything that might have been touched up. Because of the late hour that it's on, and not having Tivo or DVR, I'll probably be missing most of these new & improved episodes.
