Mishandled names, mishandled characters
 
*Names*
 
	The last name of the author who wrote *The Entropy Effect*
is McIntyre.
 
	McIntyre	McIntyre	McIntyre
	McIntyre	McIntyre	McIntyre
 
 
	The first name of the actress who played Saavik in "Star
Trek III" is Kirstie.
 
	Kirstie		Kirstie		Kirstie
	Kirstie		Kirstie		Kirstie
 
As the Romulan commander in *My Enemy, My Ally* remarks, it does
not do to mishandle names.  My apologies to all and sundry.
 
*Characters*
 
	Given the results of that survey wherein just about everybody
thought that Chekov was the only expendable member of the *Enterprise*
contingent, it occurs to me to ask WHY nobody likes him?  *I* don't
much like him, but darned if I know why.
 
	I suspect part of his problem is that he was conceived, not
because somebody thought he was probable, necessary, or even a neat
idea, but rather because somebody thought the series needed a character
who would appeal to the younger members of the audience.  I suspect
most of the rest of his problem is that awful accent.  Anybody else
have any opinions?
