What was Chekov's clearance code? I only heard "Wictor Wictor". ;) - JustPhil 15:39, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
How did the destruction of the Kelvin lead to the change in Chekov's birth?
My personal opinion is that Chekov should have been left out of this movie and have instead been reintroduced in the next film.
Besides, he was annoying. --Chris 16:18, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe someone very close to Andrei Chekov died on the USS Kelvin and Andrei mourned for him/her these additional 4 years before becoming the father of Pavel. No, really, there are many possibilities. QuiGonJinnTalk 17:46, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

- The difference is actually reversed QuiGonJinn. Chekov in the prime timeline was born in 2245, four years after his alternate universe counterpart. This can be explained by the idea that Chekov's parents met four years earlier as a result of the destruction of the Kelvin. When a ship is lost like that, a lot of things can happen which would cause people to meet where they normally wouldn't have. Maybe in the prime timeline someone who died on the kelvin in the alternate timeline was on a ship with one of Chekov's parents but in the alternate timeline this person was replaced by the other one of Chekov's parents.
