SPEAKING OF KHAN.... (QUESTION FOR TREKKIES)

"You I don't know. You.......I never forget a face. Mr Chekov, isn't it?"
--Khan, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"
---

How does Khan know Chekov?
Chekov did not join the cast of Star Trek until AFTER "Space Seed".

Retcon!

That's as good a reason as any... that question was raised soon after the movie came out (because the original series was still in syndication everywhere) - and I actually remember hearing someone say - "Just because he wasn't on the bridge - doesn't mean he wasn't on board..." After all, there's a couple hundred other folks on that starship - and they're not all wearing red shirts.
