[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Er, no, you're pretty much completly wrong. Sorry. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] Season 1 of TOS went through a revolving door set of navigators. The one in, oh you know, the one with the poity sticks making people happy episode, with computer being evil that Kirk destroys with bad writing, that one, he appeared again. But most if the other navigators were there for an episode, argued with someone, then dissapeared. The job of the navigator was to program courses to various places, and other boring blah. The helmsman actually steared the ship. The command would go "Mr Chekov, set a course for Starbase 3; Mr Sulu, ahead warp factor 4". They then realised that, wiyth computers and whatnot, the Navigator (and communications) officers had pretty much bugger all to do, so they merged them with other jobs in TOS. Sulu as Helmsman was also responsible for firing weapons, most of the time. For the first movie, Checkov had been promoted, and transferred positions. He was now chief of security, and chief tactical officer. Which is why he fired the Photorps in that movie. When he returned to the Enterprise in TWOK, Kirk stuck him at tactical. For the rest of the movies, he gradually snuck around to sit at the front again. Presumably he stayed Chief of security, but preferred the view at the front. It's worring though that the chief of security didn't know that a phaser set on kill sets of internal alarms, but oh well. BTW, I'm amazed I remembered that Worf and Kira sat at tactical on the Defiant. I don't look out for that sort of stuff. Although Odo running communications in "The Adversary" stuck out a bit. And was hilarious. Oh well, yay me! [/QB][/QUOTE]
