Just finished watching. Great reaction. Your surprise at the final fight scene and the use of stuntmen was cute. In the late sixties a wide master shot sufficed because most people watched this thru an over-the-air signal displayed on a 13” tube television, many in b&w.

Two other reactors, the Gallifrey Gals, watched this on the advice of (mostly male) viewers and they reacted very negatively to the episode. I first saw this episode when I was around ten years old and the word "negging" hadn't been invented yet. (The word, obviously not the behavior.) I hadn't re-watched this episode in twenty-plus years, and I don't think I ever watched the episode through a female perspective until the above-mentioned reactors. Khan's behavior is extremely manipulative and controlling, and adult me doesn't find it romantic at all.

I loved Ricardo Montalban as an actor. Although hardly a stretch for him, I think he was what held "Fantasy Island" together. And I was so pleased to see him reprise his character in "Wrath." It showcased his talents better. You were very close: Mexican, not Spanish. PS- He was almost unique in Hollywood, in that he was married to the same woman for over sixty years. PPS- Milton, from "Paradise Lost," He's quoting Satan about it being better to rule in Hell . . .

The stunt double makes a lot more sense when you imagine everyone watching this show on a tiny crt tv from the 60s lol

The stunt double reaction had me howling. Great episode Kat!

So the world they are stranding them on is a complete wilderness with no people.

This is a fun one. I got a kick out of you questioning several times why nobody was picking up on the fact that Khan was obviously Spanish (Montalban was Mexican, but the accent he uses here IS rather Old-World), while the dialogue calls him out as an Asian/Middle Eastern blend of "ideal" genetics, and McGivers takes one look and assumes he's a Sikh. But...this is from the era when anybody who wasn't obviously of white European stock was used almost interchangeably in Hollywood for almost anyone in a script who WASN'T of white European stock, with African-American and Asian characters being just about the only exceptions. See Yul Brynner for an extreme example, whose most famous roles have him playing a Siamese king, an Egyptian, and a Native American, and that's just off the top of my head. (I honestly don't know if he ever actually played anyone from eastern Russia, which is where his actual family roots were.) Sometimes they even pitched THAT limitation out the window, giving us, say, John Wayne as Genghis Khan. Complete with his standard overwrought Texas-ish accent. Yeah, that happened somehow. I for one look forward to you using "My name is Kat. Sit and entertain me" frequently in the future.

Who Are These People

It would help you learn the line to read it in text and also write it down for yourself. These different forms of sensation reinforce information retention in the brain. (I work at a school district office, although I'm not an educator I hear this kind of thing all the time.)

"Handle this!" Obviously, high-def versions of TV shows from the 1960s make it a lot easier to see all the little flaws... and the stunt doubles. (Actually, you get clear looks at Shatner's stunt double a lot on this series, he's often a regular crewman in the background and occasionally gets lines.) I can all but guarantee that you'll get the 'final frontier' intro to stick if you do it in William Shatner's cadence. :D As others have pointed out, Ricardo Montalban was indeed Hispanic (Mexican, actually), and was one of the rare actors from the 50s and 60s to break the ethnicity barrier in media at the time. He's much better known for the genial Mr. Rourke from Fantasy Island, where he's a kind of "magical matchmaking Mister Rogers runs an island resort" guy. Also a Chrysler commercial that was a meme before memes were a thing (google "fine corinthian leather" sometime). Montalban was a true great, and really made Khan something else entirely as a villain. Obviously, Khan's sexual politics were... not great. In some ways, it's a statement of what a show made in the 60s but set in the future is trying to say about our "brutal, barbaric past." There's a lot of social commentary that Trek does that is sadly still relevant today. Star Trek was conceived as a sort of hi-tech Western in space, where the crew of the Enterprise were exploring and patrolling a frontier, and thus Kirk occasionally metes out a loose kind of "frontier justice." Basically giving Khan an empty planet (even a completely untamed one) and just blithely moving on with his 5-year mission instead of sending Khan to some kind of prison is an act that will definitely have consequences down the line (NO SPOILERS!). One of Kirk's attributes is that he tries to bring out the best in everyone, and expects others to do the same. If you're not an obvious military threat like a Klingon or a Romulan, he's going to try to reason with you with the expectation that you're (like him) a generally peaceful explorer. It's a character trait that occasionally allows sneaky, non-obvious villains to get the drop on him (which is handy for moving the story along). It also sees him being more forgiving than he sometimes should, though his mercy is usually seen as a positive character trait. Last but not least, there's a great (non-canon) series of books written by Greg Cox about the Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh. Obviously, there were no Eugenics Wars/World War III in the 1990s, and his books were an attempt to fit the 1960s fiction of the episode into the actual history of the 1990s but written early in the 2000s. They're fun, they reference a bunch of other Trek tidbits from other series that were scattered across the franchise's lore, and they have a kind of X-Files vibe to them, where Khan is waging a sort of secret Cold War behind the scenes of historical reality from the 1970s until his spacebound exile in 1996. (IIRC, the author sneaks a very sly reference to Mulder & Scully being warned away from one of Khan's conspiratorial plots.) The Star Trek franchise has had to make a lot of... interesting revisions to its timeline; they never actually establish the years that the original Enterprise crew is having their adventures in until the fourth movie hit screens in 1986, so there have been (and hopefully will continue to be) a LOT of hand-waving and retcons that try (with varying degrees of success) to make sense of the "future" timeline of a show from the 1960s living through a large chunk of it's own predicted history.

"My name is Kat, please sit and entertain me." You seem to learn delightful new tricks with every episode. :) :)

Spot Allen

LOL Yeah this show was not designed for 4K ;)

Robert Raszkowski

So... KAT - that was Ricardo Montalban as Khan. You will see him again... in totally different movie (because I'm sure You will see) "The Naked Gun (1988)".... xD Also... the name of that "historian woman"... gave me an idea. KAT please listen to me - "MacGyver" You will TOTALLY love this series. Trust me. :) Onto the next advanture Kat-ship flyes by...
