[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike20X6: [QB] the production material surrounding ST:TMP established that Chekov had changed his specialty to security, and that the security chief acted as the tactical/weapons officer on the bridge. His station was the furthest forward on the port side, and was the only wall station involved in an outcropping, so that it would allow the man to sit facing the viewer and his controls (and also hid his screen from anybody on the main viewer) In TMP the department colors were white = command (Kirk/Decker) green = medical (McCoy) grey = security/technical(i.e. communications) (Chekov/Uhura) yellow = services(i.e. helm) (Sulu/Ilia) red = engineering (Scott) orange = science (Spock) so at this point, the TOS redshirt division was split up.. engineering kept the red, and security and the 'other' people like communications got grey also the TOS yellowshirt division was split.. the command officers got white, and the helm people (and presumably most of the other TOS yellowshirts) got yellow. By TWOK, the divisions changed only slightly.. FLetcher designed red as the cadet color, so engineering crossed over and became yellow.. and science was absorbed by one of the groups too.. not sure if it was yellow or grey (a costuming error in TSFS had Saavik wearing command white, and officer of her standing should have had a dept. color as a stripe on her epaulet.. since she was science personnel, whatever one she was supposed to have would reveal what color science was. The point of this being that, in TWOK Pavel still wore his grey dept. color, signaling he was still security/tactical (although some point out theres a 50% chance it could represent science).. since he was the Reliant's first officer, it can be assumed he doubled duty as the XO and as Chief of tac/sec.. ionly perpetuate this theory because, during TWOK, Chekov joins the bridge crew, asks to take his station, and goes straight to tactical.. seems to me if thats his station, thats what his specialty still was.. He was probably supposed to keep that station as the 1701-A's Sec/Tac officer (still in grey collar, keeping up with previous appearances), but the problem mightve that he wasnt visible from the side of the bridge (no regular ever sits that far away from the rest of the cast).. so they probably would explain that on the 1701-A bridge, they had already enacted the TNG era conn position and made the second forward position tactical. or something.
