The theatrical phrase "Chekhov's Gun" actually originated from legends about Koenig's sexual prowess.

He and Burt Ward (Robin from Batman) would swing their big ones all over Hollywood during the 3-year period that both their shows were on the air.

Chekhov's gun is a narrative principle that states every element in a story must be necessary; anything irrelevant should be removed. The principle, attributed to Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, suggests that if a loaded rifle is introduced in the first act, it must be fired by the third act, or it shouldn't be there at all. This applies to any detail, including physical objects, character traits, or pieces of information, which must have a payoff or purpose later in the story
 
Does anyone know the story of Kirk's alternate green shirt, with the wrap around and the badge at the waist? To a lesser degree Picard's jacket. Because that's kind of "fuck it, Kirk had a weird alternate green shirt, let's give Picard a jacket."
 
I know there were two versions of Picard's jacket, one with leather shoulders and one with suede.
