Clarisse McClellan's Daughter

Eh, I didn't recognize the specific quote until the rewatch, so. Not tiny Sulu, that is. XD Chekov's sneakity for all the right reasons. "Admiral..." I *loved* that exchange! Part lingering hero worship, part ohthankgod I'm safe, part quirky humor, part probable dazed state of mind - poor man!

Speaking of admirals, or references to one specific one, when Khan first hears about Kirk's promotion via an offhand reference made to it and breaks in to *hiss* the rank back at Chekov and Terrell... I thought, for years, that that was an agitated Chekov reacting to Khan's disrespecting Kirk, as in 'Hey, use the man's proper rank, you jackass!' I only much later figured out who was actually speaking. Puts a whole different spin on that scene snippet, that does.
