OK, Star Wars, Batman, and Indiana Jones nights have gone well. I’d eventually like to do a Back to the Future day long event or series too. I’m wondering how many people would be into a Khan movie night?
Ricardo Montalban first appeared as Khan in the Start Trek original series‘ Space Seed episode. He reprized his role 15 years later in the movie Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Khan is a favorite in the Star Trek universe, and I thought it might jump-start an interest in the Star Trek series, or at least the movie Fanboys.
"It has been said that social occasions are only warfare concealed." - Khan
I was just going to wait for an afternoon or evening by myself to pop these in… but then thought, why not make it another movie night? I think we can watch Space Seed thanks to Netflix, and I have the movie on Blu-ray.
Khan’s just a badass, and the eugenics wars are a really gripping concept. I also thought it would be fun to see all of the contrasts between the TV show from the 60s and the movie from the 80s and how the actors, characters, & designs changed over time.
Would you dig it?
"No, Kirk. The game's not over. To the last I will grapple with thee!"
