Pros: The detail in the folds and creases of Chekov’s tunic is remarkable, especially given the small scale. It’s a testament to how refined the Storyteller series has become.
Cons: No Chekov screams from the agony booth? A missed opportunity for both drama and delight!

Okay, FOR THE RECORD, I had the audio pulled for the agony booth scene. Just imagine the lights on the base swirling as Chekov screams.

SPOCK: Captain, I am pleased that you frustrated Mister Chekov’s plan. I should regret your death.
KIRK: Why?
SPOCK: I do not desire the captaincy. I much prefer my scientific duties. I am frankly content to be a lesser target.
KIRK: Logical, as always, Mister Spock.
(Chekov screaming)
SPOCK: The agony booth is a most effective means of discipline. I presume you’ve ordered full duration.
KIRK: I haven’t decided.
SPOCK: Indeed. His act warrants death.
KIRK: I said I haven’t decided.
SPOCK: That is, of course, your affair.

This is a big moment in the story. It’s our recognizing that Spock knows something is up. But I was told that no one wants blood-curdling screams coming from a Christmas tree.

But a boy can dream.
