Star Trek the original series hit the airwaves before I hatched, but, thanks to the wonderful idea of "syndication", I can see it anytime. Click the Enterprise (and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait) for the full original series theme. The following is my mini-shrine to my favourite TOS characters.

Who couldn't love Chekov? He's the young Ensign straight from the Academy, ready to boldly go where no one has gone before... He's got a nifty changing Russian accent and Davy Jones hair. He's also got a gold shirt... hhhmmm... those of you familiar with the Trek formula know that people in gold shirts don't last long when part of a landing party. Poor Chekov certainly took his share of abuse -- from aliens and Kirk alike! No wonder the poor fellow screamed a lot...
