@@danbasta3677 , her illness was also the reason why her character died offscreen. She was in no position to reprise it and they didn't want to recast the part.
how was she excellent? She was aweful.. I mean for most of it you'll have to blame the authors but this whole stupid love story came just completely out of nowhere, even more her betrayal that would just make no sense at all.. she is like "I know this guy for about 5 minutes but because he is a big, strong guy from the past, I'll just let him force his way to free the other augments - they surely won't do anything to harm the crew." but then again of course the most stupid thing was Kirks decision to let her go to the planet with the other augments without even asking Starfleet for their opinion.. I mean it's worse enough that he just decides to place these potentially hostile people on a planet where they can plan their space conquest, but she is a Starfleet officer, there is no way that he can do this to her just because she is so madly in love with Khan.. people use to criticize Picard because he broke prime directive a few times but Kirk acts as if for him there wouldn't be any rules at all
When my friend watched the Wrath Khan with me, she was like wow, look at Khan's chest. Is that really his chest? Since I did not want to be compared, I told her of course that's fake. I mean come on that guy's at least 30 years older at the time of the movie. How could that be real? Of course I was not sure and heard it was likely real, but it seemed the right thing to say at the time!

One of my very favorite, BEST first season episodes, and there were many others in the first season that were excellent. Love thd Original Star Trek Series, the finest, BEST Star Trek out there.
Darth Vader, Kahn... they both made the franchises. It's such a simple formula really. A strong, intelligent villain makes it worth it. Thank you, Ricardo Montalbán, for doing this movie.
Space Seed and TWOK are among the finest stories we're given by the original crew. And it is an admittedly minor note, but after Kirk's last interview with Kahn; when he breaks out of the stateroom and backhands the security guard outside the door; the backflip that stuntman does is among the finest stunts in the original series! He makes it look like Kahn has knocked him clear into the next episode!
This was 1960's tv and a fairly low cost production even for that time. Sci fi was scoffed at back then and generally seen as "cheap entertainment". Basically they had neither the time nor the money to produce something akin to a Hollywood film at the time. Bear in mind most still had a black and white tv back then and it was a tiny 20 inch screen at the end of a living room. You sure as heck didn't notice it was "stunt doubles" back then unless you saw the third rerun or something. Personally I believe they did well with the limited means and funds at their disposal. They had to be creative and think fast.
Good thing that Khan forgave Marla McGivers for saving Kirk's life so that he can save the crew and the Enterprisethough it got them exiled on Ceti Alpha V but Khan and what was left of his people from his old ship to escape and get revenge after Marla,who became Khan's wife,got killed by strange creatures on that world.
I recently watched Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and and Ricardo Montalban as the circus owner captured by the police. I wish he was Khan in that movie too.
They could probably still have had her in it. Write into the script that her MS symptoms were due to an injury she had during her time on Ceti Alpha 5, or the long term effects of those brain parasites or something.

Yes Chekow wasn´t part of the bridge crew when Khan meet Kirk for the first time.

Chekow was on the Enterprise, and Khan is for his enhancements still human and humans needs to use the toilet from time to time.

He had been playing Mister Rourk for so long, that when he was asked to play Khan again, he had to watch the old episode three times before he could get Rourk out of his head.

Kirk tasks him. He tasks him and Khan shall have him. He'll chase him around the moons of Nibia and around the Antares Maelstrom and around perdition's flames before he gives him up.
Man says, "I have five times your strength." Kirk says no problem and beats him down with a pipe. That's why he wanted a stiff club for the Gorn commander.
Charlie Cohen Yes, however only in the second and third seasons. Gene Roddenberry had to include a Russian as they were technically the first ones in space and Russia was upset that a starship included all nations and nationalities didn't include Russians.
I guess Khan was all the talk at Starfleet Academy in Chekhov's final year before he came on the Enterprise as ensign. It would explain how Chekhov recognizes him.
@@danbasta3677 "and Russia was upset that a starship included all nations and nationalities didn't include Russians." Really? They had Star Trek shown on tv in the former Soviet Union and not only that, the Soviet leaders were so aghast there were no Russians represented in the crew of this sci fi tv series they made a former diplomatic complaint to the U.S. president who in turn personally called up NBC to include a Russian not to offend the viewers in the Soviet Union?? Please. Most Americans didn't care about Star Trek in the 1960's and it was but a cult series with a small, but devoted following among mostly kids and teens. At the time the only American movies the Soviets loved were westerns with cowboys and indians and to them John Wayne was the quintessential American riding on his horse in the old west. They also loved old mob movies from the 1930's about prohibition era gangsters. While it's quite possible that Russian Americans - i.e. Americans with Russian ancestry - were slightly offended I seriously doubt they personally wrote to the tv network. Networks back then were much more worried about getting complaints about "nudity", "immoral acts" (we're talking by puritan Christians standards), "implied sex" or even "drug use". No, my guess is that Gene Roddenberry tried to portray a very equal future so naturally he included a very diverse crew - even with a crew member who was alien (Spock). A black woman having an important command was virtually unthinkable in the 1960's in which most black women were forced into menial and backbreaking jobs so in that regard Star Trek was very progressive. He suddenly realized he had no Russian in his crew so he decided to include one eventually to portray a future where Russians are no longer the "enemies" (they never were only their former country the now long-gone Soviet Union). Again this was "daring" in the middle of the Cold War.
