Talk:Christine Chapel

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] Animated Series?

Should info from TAS be included? It's not canon.--Roofus 01:50, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Yes, see Memory Alpha:Canon policy. --Vedek Dukat ^{Talk | Duty Roster} 02:06, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chapel's rank

What was Chapel's rank on the Original Series? In the Animated Series it looks like she had the single gold braid of a lieutenant, but I don't recall seeing a rank braid on her sleeve in the live-action series. That would make her either an Ensign or a non-com. If she was an Ensign than a promotion to Lieutenant (and later Lieutenant Commander) would make sense, but a non-com would fit with the description of her joining Starfleet to look for her fiancee. Any definitive answers? 68.145.128.30 19:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

No, but her biography in The Making of Star Trek (which I assume is based on the writers guide) indicates that she was (supposed to be) a lieutenant (jg?) in TOS. Excerpt: "her rank is Lieutenant, and she will probably move up in Star Fleet medical service." Otherwise, I couldn't find anything in dialog suggesting her being an officer or non-com, except one instance where she gave someone an order to follow some medical suggestion... --Alan 20:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Chapel's Marital Status

I'd have to question listing her as Roger Korby's widow - my understanding is that they never actually married? --Sahviere 17:46, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
