OMG you're going to make me cry. I was just telling my friend that I like to picture the cast as they were at the end of ST 6. 😢

It’s been a bad couple of weeks with Michael Forest and now Walter.
I didn’t know that Leslie Parrish died last November … sad.

I was trying to think of which episodes were Checkov heavy, and I have "The Apple" and " The Way to Eden"... Any others? "Mirror Mirror" give him a decent sized role and " Day of the Dove" as well, but I woudln't call them Checkov-centric.

Ironically, the Chekov character took the place of Sulu in WOK; Chekov wasn't in "Space Seed". Chekov also had a decent role in TVH.

"Spectre Of The Gun".

Spectre of the Gun, Day of the Dove, the Trouble with Tribbles, the Gamesters of Triskelion, Who Mourns for Adonais?

All of these have solid Chekov scenes

The one where everyone ages but Chekov -- "The Deadly Years" -- features Chekov heavily.

He gets some good scenes in "Trouble With Tribbles".

Great to see his Alfred Bester character in B5. Really complex and menacing. Chekhov was a hoot, but very one dimensional.
