Forum:Which TOS ep had the alien woman fascinated with Chekov's surname?
If I recall correctly, there's a TOS episode in which an alien is talking with Chekov, and when she asks him his name and he replies with "Chekov," she repeats it as "Cheek-oof." He smiles nervously and corrects her, but she repeats her own pronunciation of his surname, "Cheek-OOf!" She was enjoying making him blush.

I remembered it as Chekov's drill thrall in Gamesters of Triskelion, but I recently watched that episode and didn't see any conversation at all between Chekov and his drill thrall.

I was watching the hi-definition remaster of Gamesters of Triskelion, so I suppose there is some possibility that this new version edited out the scene with Chekov and his drill thrall...but this seems very unlikely.

The other possibility (presuming my recollection of the remembered scene is anywhere close to accurate) is that I am mistaken about the episode, and that the alien I remember was actually in an episode other than "Gamesters."

Thoughts?

 * Well FanJoe1970, It was and you are also correct about the scene "it is a nice name...cheek-oof" is exactly what the Drill Thrall says. Were you watching the dvd version of the episode (i'm not sure it's out) otherwise they just cut the scene. :) &mdash; Morder 19:07, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
