RIP Anton Yelchin. Taken away from us far too soon.
I was talking with a friend a couple days ago about him and the fact that he has left a pretty huge mark on Trek. I also love how they've referenced him twice in Trek as well.
Season 3 of Discovery has that whole Burn thing going on. Burnham goes looking for the 'black boxes' of the various ships. One of the ones she gets, an important one, is called the USS Yelchin. Then Season 3 of Picard had their own honor that they gave him. In the final episode there's a broadcast from the 'President of the Federation'. It's voiced by Walter Koenig, playing the son of his Chekov, but the name that they gave him? Anton Chekov.
Indeed taken from us far too soon.
And because of what would otherwise be a minor oversight, too. RIP.
