Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn (originally titled The Vengeance of Kahn, but was changed when Star Wars Return of the Jedi was set to be titled Revenge of the Jedi) premiered on June 4, 1982. While many consider Star Trek the Motion Picture one of the worst of the franchise, it's sequel is often cited as one of the best. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry was basically removed from involvement save for name only, so it was probably no surprise he was not a fan of the film. He would later come into further conflict with the studio with antics and behind the scenes drama on Star Trek the Next Generation TV series. The movie was a continuation from an episode of the original series "Space Seed" (season 1, episode 22, February 16, 1967, written by Gene L Coon and Carey Wilber, Directed by Marc Daniels). In the episode, the crew of the Enterprise awoke Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) and his crew of the SS Botany Bay after approximately 200 years of suspended animation. They realized Kahn and his people were products of genetic experimentation that lead to the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s. After a failed mutiny, Kirk exiled Kahn, his crew, Star Fleet officer Lt. Marla McGivers (Madlyn Rhue) and the Botany Bay to the planet Ceti Alpha V. It was learned that since being left there that Ceti Alpha VI exploded turning Ceti Alpha V into a wasteland. Many were killed by the event and others were killed by Ceti eels, including McGivers, who had become Kahn's wife. Kahn managed to capture Captain Clark Terrel (Paul Windfield) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) and take control of the USS Reliant. Kahn then set off to try to take control of the Genesis Device that was being developed for the purpose of terraforming planets. The project was lead by one of Kirk's ex-lovers Dr Carol Marcus (Bebi Besch) and their son Marcus (Merrit Butrick). When Kirk learned they were in danger, he took comand of the USS Enterprise, which was on a training mission. He was joined by his old crew Mr Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (James Doohan), Hikaru Sulu (George Takei), Lt Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) as well as new member Saavik (Kristy Alley). In their clashes with Kahn, the Enterprise was damaged leading to the deaths of Scotty's nephew (Ike Eisenmann) and Mr Spock (a large part of why Nimoy agreed to return for the sequel). A new planet was also created. This film was cited as having one of the first complete computer generated scenes in a movie, which was accomplished by the company that would become Pixar.

TOS: Space Seed

This episode is a certified classic for a reason, and Khan came back in the movies for the same reason. He's awesome and a fascinating, well written character. The plot goes at a good clip and also provides good moments between the characters.

The cold open has an earth ship from gasp THE 1990S! THE DISTANT FUTURE! I wish. The historian shows up and Kirk complains that she's been useless for the entire mission. I was a little confused at first, but later it turns out she's so horny for being a tradwife to some conqueror that she can't freakin do anything, so he gets a pass on this one.

They beam over with a more reasonably sized away team and pick up Khan and some other frozen people. they wake him up in sickbay, and he stretches in a stupid way and threatens Bones. He is completely unfazed by Khan's threats, acting like a total badass.

The dinner scene has some really good dialogue, with Spock provoking Khan being especially well done. Khan has some really good characterization later on too, annoyed by McGivers' indecision in sharp contrast to his normal take-what-he-wants approach. Given that I watched his movie a full ten years prior to the episode, I really didn't expect the heavy emphasis on him being like the rulers of old, and its definitely more nuanced than other villains.

Khan takes over the ship too easily, and locks Kirk up in some chamber that does something. McGivers frees him because she wasnt expecting THAT to happen, and agrees to go with Khan and his crew to Ceti Alpha V. I was surprised that Khan leaves on relatively good terms with Kirk.

One thing to note is that the only reason Madlyn Rhue did not appear as McGivers in The Wrath of Khan is because she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and reportedly had to use a cane, then crutches, and finally a wheelchair. She died at only 63. Her character was given a nod in the final movie by mentioning that Khan's wife died in the harsh conditions of Ceti Alpha V after its orbit was altered.

Nitpicks: I was a little confused by the fact that McGivers instantly identified Khan as a Sikh given that he was clean-shaven and didn't have any other such religious symbols. Probably just a case of 1960s writers not knowing what Sikhism is.

Rating: 5/5 (WATCH)

In the Blu-ray special feature "The Captain's Log", Ricardo Montalban says that once he committed to "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982), he realized that he had trouble getting back into the character Khan. After years of playing Mr. Roarke on "Fantasy Island," he found that he was "stuck" in that character. He requested a tape of the original "Star Trek" episode "Space Seed" from Paramount, and proceeded to watch it repeatedly. By the third or fourth watching, he had recaptured the essence of Khan's character.

It has been widely debated that Montalban's chest was actually a prosthetic piece that he wore during the film. In the director's commentary on the Blu-ray, director Nicholas Meyer is quoted as saying that this was, in fact, Montalban's actual chest and that he was a very muscular man who worked out. During publicity for the film, during an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," Montalban explained that he was able to achieve the look seen in the film by doing push-ups. "A lot of push-ups."

Montalban was offered substantially more money to reprise Khan than he eventually agreed to. Although his initial offer was never disclosed, he agreed to a salary of $100K, which, given his star power at the time, and the studio's understanding that the film could not be made without him, was considered an exceptionally generous gift to the cash strapped production.

When Khan shows Chekov and Captain Terrell the Ceti eels (the only native inhabitants of this destroyed planet) for the first time, he tells that these eels were responsible for the deaths of twelve of his people, including his "beloved wife." Although he never mentions her name, or goes into any more detail about her, this was confirmed by the producers that his wife was in fact the former Enterprise historian, Lieutenant Marla McGivers, who was seduced by Khan, and helps him commandeer the ship in "Space Seed." Madlyn Rhue was to reprise her role as Marla McGivers, but she suffered with multiple sclerosis, and was confined to a wheelchair, so the role was written out of the script, by explaining she had died during the years of exile. Rhue did perform on television through 1996, despite her disability.

Montalban said in promo interviews for the film about how he realized early on in his career that a good villain does not see himself as villainous. He may do villainous things, but the character feels that he is doing them for righteous reasons. Likewise with heroes, Montalban said he always tried to find a flaw in the character because no one is completely good or completely evil.
