Is that also the first 32nd Century Klingon we’ve seen?

I think ‘The Devil in the Dark’ from the Original Series would be a good option. As would “Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach” from Strange New Worlds.

Chekov was on the Enterprise during s1. Continuity with TWOK requires it. Plus some of the star dates for s2 episodes that starred Chekov where set before the star date for Space Seed.

But yes at this point we are ~6 years before TOS so Chekov would be in his late teens.

Anyone else notice that the 2 people on the shuttle down who didn’t have plot armor (Ortegas and La’an) were wearing red shirts?
