Walter Koenig played Pavel Chekov for more than half a century, and he played every joke completely straight.

This tribute follows Chekov’s rise through Starfleet: ensign at the Enterprise’s navigation console, security chief, first officer of the Reliant, and a commander on the bridge at Khitomer. He never got his own command, but he was there for nearly every turning point in the original crew’s history. We also look at Bester on Babylon 5 and Koenig’s final return to Star Trek as President Anton Chekov in Picard.

Episodes and films referenced: Amok Time, The Trouble with Tribbles, The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan, The Voyage Home, The Undiscovered Country, Generations, Babylon 5 “Mind War,” Picard “The Last Generation.”

In this picture, Beverly Crusher now holds the rank of Admiral and Geordi La Forge holds the rank of Commodore. But despite the fact that she is addressed as Admiral and he is addressed as Commodore, the two of them seem to be holding the same one-star insignia. So my question is: why the different names from what seems to be the same rank?

So 3 main questions probably discussed before but after scrolling unable to find...

1) why did Guinin recognise Picard since they met in the 1800's

2) why did Soongs cloned daughter get accepted so easily into the watchers when even the crusher child had to learn to stop time before he was accepted? What made her special?

3) In trek history it was the Vulcans that cleaned earth's atmosphere after WW3 but Guinin states it was Rio and his boo that did it with an organism? Defeats the 100 years the Vulcans "protected Earth" whilst we socially healed through the post apocalyptic horrors to a united Earth

Season two we get the Borg Queen and she ends up joining with Dr Jurati and they decide to be nicer Borg, only assimilating species who want it…I think. Season 3 the Borg Queen is dying and the drones are almost all dead. Couple questions if these statements are correct. Is there any relationship between the modified Borg Queen in season 2 and the one shown in season 3? If not, why is the Borg Queen of season 3 all screwed up and the drones dead or dying?

My favorite captain of all time is Capt. Picard. But I'm curious about something. In Star Trek: Generations, Captain Kirk tells Captain Picard NOT to becomed an admiral because he can do more in the Captaiin's chair than anywhere else. So why does Picard become and Admiral?
