Chekov spends much of this film in engineering rather than the bridge, so that he does not interact with Khan. This is in keeping with Star Trek: Space Seed (1967), which aired before Chekov was added to the main cast. Ironically, Chekov is the only Enterprise crew member Khan interacted with directly in Star Trek II - L'ira di Khan (1982) (every other contact was through a view-screen). Khan's face-to-face interaction with the rest of the crew on board the Enterprise is a first since Space Seed. This is not to say that in the TV episode Khan did not interact with Chekov offscreen. When he first sees Chekov in The Wrath of Khan, he recognizes him and calls him by name, saying, "I never forget a face."
