@N0ZB Didn't know that! Montalban is spectacular in this (and pretty much anything, imho! Between Wrath of Khan and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, he's kind of a sci-fi star unto himself. Thanks for the awesome trivia! 😁👍📼

Tonight in 1967 — #RicardoMontalban debuted as Khan Noonian Singh in the #StarTrek episode “Space Seed.”

He would reprise the character 15 years later in #StarTrekII #TheWrathOfKhan.

The Enterprise encounters a sleeper ship full of GMO people from the eugenics wars of the 1990's. Khan and the GMOs take over the Enterprise, but in the end Kirk dumps them on Ceti Alpha V. Is this wild west cowboy diplomacy out of place in 2267? Why all the admiration for GMO people anyway? And how does Khan remember Chekov in #TWOK if Chekov wasn't even part of the cast yet?

Thoroughly enjoyed the Original Series film franchise. 'II: Wrath of Khan' is just an off-the-hook good sci-fi film, and #RicardoMontalbán's Khan Noonien Singh is the quintessential Star Trek Villian. An absolute favourite, not only of the original 6 films but of the franchise.

I appreciated the unfortunate 'V: The Final Frontier' more than I initially did. In the later three films the self-referential jokes and self-parody is so much more endearing straight from finishing the TV series. There are a heap of jokes and little hints at things that only those with a real love of TOS will get or appreciate. Spock is still MVP. Leonard Nimoy is MVP.
