78.) Eyes
When it came to puppy dog eyes, no one could beat Chekov. Hands down, he had the best pair on the ship. Only the Captain and Spock were immune, though it seemed they chose to give in on most occasions.
Kirk certainly wasn't afraid to use Chekov's puppy eyes to the crew's advantage when there was nothing else he could do. The admiralty knew Kirk would face a court marshal if his crew wasn't given leave when Chekov was in the background giving a kicked puppy look. It was even useful in negotiations.
Chekov's puppy dog eyes were a formidable weapon, a weapon that was used with great care.
