honestly my favorite distinction between TOS and AOS characters has gotta be chekov. AOS chekov is a precious curly-haired cinnamon roll prodigy child who probably shoots flower petals and pixie dust from his eyes whenever he’s happy, and would do absolutely anything to impress the captain.
then TOS chekov over here is pure sass, sin, and vodka wrapped in a bowlcut and some extra russian grump seasoning to top the whole thing off.
