You are correct. Only Kirk and Sulu are left standing. Nichols (Uhura) died about 4 years ago. The others well before that.
I remember when Bester came aboard B5. I thought "Chekov!", of course. But it didn't take long before he was "Bestard!" (i.e. the bad guy, for those who don't know the show). He did a good job there.
I liked some of the follow-ons, but TOS is still the best of them. Many of their stories had social relevance that they couldn't tell in any other setting than sci-fi. Even putting a black woman in a position of authority on the bridge was HUGE. Bit of trivia: the first interracial kiss on network TV was Kirk and Uhura.
