Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan	comment	The one where Kirk screams Khan's name.Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is the second movie in the Star Trek film series, released in 1982.About 12 years after the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Admiral Kirk has been overseeing students at Starfleet Academy and Enterprise largely serves as a training vessel in orbit around Earth. Kirk has been promoted beyond his usefulness and is facing a mid-life crisis, with Spock and McCoy encouraging him to head back out into the galaxy to regain his confidence.Unfortunately, Kirk finds himself drawn into a conflict with Khan Noonien Singh, a Worthy Opponent he encountered during Star Trek: The Original Series fifteen years ago, during the events of "Space Seed." Khan has escaped his exile on Ceti Alpha V through capturing the crew of Reliant, who were surveying the planet for a project called "Genesis." His goal is to get revenge against Kirk and secure his own territory through the "Genesis Device," a terraforming explosive that can be used as Hostile Terraforming against any who oppose him. Kirk struggles against his rusty skills and instincts as Enterprise and Reliant do battle, and it doesn't get any easier for him when the scientists in charge of "Genesis" turn out to be his Old Flame and their son.With a powerful old enemy driven by blind vengeance, powerful new technology fallen into the wrong hands, and a no-win scenario in play, the cost of victory for Kirk and the Enterprise may prove too high.Star Trek II starts a loose trilogy arc that continues with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and concludes with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Nimoy directed the latter two films.Outside the world of Star Trek, Wrath of Khan is notable for containing two big breaks: Kirstie Alley made her acting debut in this film playing the young Vulcan Saavik, even getting the onscreen credit "and introducing Kirstie Alley". This was the first major motion picturenote His first film, Battle Beyond the Stars, had a much lower budget. to be scored by James Horner, who would go on to be one of the most prolific film score composers of his era. As Nicholas Meyer once put it, they hired James Horner to do Star Trek II because they couldn't afford Jerry Goldsmith, but by the time Meyer returned for Star Trek VI they hired Cliff Eidelman because they couldn't afford James Horner.note Horner would succeed Goldsmith on another sci-fi franchise, reworking one of his cues from this movie to great effect, while Goldsmith, somewhat ironically, would later return to score the TNG-era films First Contact, Insurrection, and Nemesis.Not to be confused with Star Trek Phase II, a TV series that eventually became Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Because of this movie Khan and his backstory has gone on to be notable in several other works including Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: When Khan mentions his "beloved wife", he is referring to Marla McGivers, a historian on Enterprise when they found Khan's ship. During "Space Seed" Khan rather abusively took advantage of her romantic view of twentieth-century men to get her to help him take over the ship. At the end of the episode Khan did seem to have some genuine affection for her, and accepted her going to Ceti Alpha V with him.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_116a941b	comment	Applied Phlebotinum: The "Genesis Device" is an inexplicable gadget that defies all known science of the era — as well as logic, achieving a controlled reaction that transforms a planet's surface, with magnitudes more energy than any weapon. In fact, the first discussion Kirk and Spock have after watching Carol Marcus' video on the device is about its potential destructive capabilities if it were to be used as a weapon (despite the obvious fact that, logically, weapons are more powerful than complex tools, due to the lack of need for control, with the purpose being destructive rather than constructive; just like fusion-weapons exist, but not controlled fusion-reactors). Naturally, it falls right into Khan's hands — conveniently just at the same time as Kirk.

With all the graphic injuries on display, it would not be rated PG today. And indeed, it's the only Star Trek film with a 15 certificate in the UK.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The barren moon featured in the Genesis demonstration tape bears a distinct resemblance to Star Wars' Death Star; especially since it is mostly in shadow and what is most visible is a big crater that looks for all the world like the Empire's planet-killer laser dish. (Probably a Shout-Out as well, since ILM did the effects for this film as well.) And after the simulated Genesis run it gets replaced with an awfully familiar Blue Marble.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1989b0c	comment	On the other hand, Khan's followers (but not Khan himself) appear to be affected by Comic-Book Time. None of them is played by the original actors from the television episode. There is speculation as to whether or not these are the same persons from "Space Seed", especially given the obvious difference between Joaquin ("Space Seed") and Joaquim (Wrath of Khan), who are said in Expanded Universe to be father and son, Joaquin having died in the intervening years. The relatively youthful appearance of Joaquim and the other Augments suggests that these are all the children of Khan's deceased original crew. The novelization and comic book of the movie, in contrast, posit that Khan has aged more rapidly than his followers due to The Chains of Commanding on what is essentially a Death World.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1a6960dd	comment	Flying Saucer: Reliant is, essentially, what you get if you mush Enterprise's engineering section into the saucer section rather than have two distinct parts, with the warp engines flipped downward. This was only the second Starfleet starship design to appear in the franchise, as all other Starfleet vessels seen earlier were Constitution class ships like Enterprise note Some other Federation ship designs were seen in the original series, such as the robot freighter in "The Ultimate Computer" but they were civilian Federation vessels rather than Starfleet ships. It must have been influential, as many Starfleet designs seen in later series would be variations on the Flying Saucer theme.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1b65dfad	comment	As in TMP, at least one supporting character from TOS turns up, with a promotion. As noted in The Cameo, transporter operator Lieutenant Kyle from the original series shows up, still serving with his old crewmate Chekhov, as Reliant's communications officer, now promoted to commander. The implications are more significant than the usual cameo because of Khan's prior interactions with the Enterprise crew: Since Kyle played a prominent role in "Space Seed" while Chekov did not, and Khan recognized Chekov instantly, there is little doubt that Khan recognized Kyle, but this is not shown onscreen.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1b89151e	type	Forgotten Phlebotinum
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1b89151e	comment	Forgotten Phlebotinum: This film introduces the Genesis device. As we'll see, the planet it creates disintegrates within a couple weeks, thus rendering it useless for its original purpose (terraforming). But surely Captain Picard and Captain Janeway might have found it useful as a handy-dandy instant Borg Cube Killer. note This is addressed in the novelizations of this movie and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Vance Madison and Del March were actually the leading scientists on the project and they can briefly be seen in the scene where they argue about what they should do; Vance is the quiet black man, and Del is the restless one with slightly shorter sleeves. When they realize that their research is about to be taken from them they erase it all from the station's computer banks. Khan kills both of them after he discovers the device is gone and the plans erased. By the end of Star Trek III the only person with any working knowledge is Carol, and she's vowed to keep it to herself, though she admits no one could replicate the project without Madison and March. Spock also displays a trick whereby he can transfer his life-force, or "k'atra," to another person to allow him to transcend death, even while he's still alive. Furthermore, the Vulcans later prove able to re-insert this "k'atra" into a clone of Spock, which conveniently ages to the same degree as Spock's body when he died. Thus, while this Phlebotinum would normally allow immortality, Spock proves the first and last case of it ever being used this way.note In Star Trek: Discovery, another character transfers part of their k'atra, but in this case it's to save someone else rather than themselves.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1c4e308e	comment	The Spock: Naturally. Quite notable here, however, in what Spock's Heroic Sacrifice said about how this archetype should be written. That "cold Vulcan logic" that McCoy is always harping on Spock about applies to his own life as much as anyone else's... and he doesn't hesitate even for a moment when applying it. Saavik serves as a second example, being a young protÃ©gÃ© of Spock. She insists on citing regulation at Admiral Kirk, and he quickly decides to start heeding her counsel. Being a younger Spock-in-training, she is more impulsive and hot-headed (for a Vulcan, anyways) in contrast to her mentor's mellow, seasoned approach.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1f963842	comment	Bloodier and Gorier: Not too bad in comparison to most examples but out of all the original series movies, this one has the most actual on-screen bloody wounds. Some of the Enterprise cadets get very badly burned, Khan spends the last half of the movie with a big red slash across his chest, and the corpses of the scientists on Regula One are rather severely bloodied. Khan himself gets burned rather horrifically across the side of his face after Enterprise fires the final shots that cripple Reliant. Then there's the memorably unpleasant scenes with the Ceti eels.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_1fb9a341	comment	Revenge Is Sweet: Khan engages in such feelings, ultimately stranding Kirk in the Genesis Cave in retaliation for leaving him and his followers on Ceti Alpha Six after a failed attempt to take over Kirk's ship, which while hospitable when Kirk left, not too long afterwards was turned into a Death World by a catastrophic ecological disaster. These feelings disappear after Khan finds out that Kirk has found a way onboard Enterprise, making him bent on taking down Kirk for good despite his underling Joachim pointing out Khan has much more to gain from ignoring Kirk and taking his new starship and planet-killing Genesis device to carve out a new empire.

It isn't seen until he takes over the Reliant, so one has to assume that he stole it from one of the crewman that he marooned on Ceti Alpha VI, perhaps even Captain Terrell himself. Furthermore, it's damaged to serve as a reflection of Khan himself. He stands in clothing made of rags while Kirk stands in an immaculate uniform.

Either Khan misses the point of the novel or alternatively, he understands the point of the novel completely and recognizes the parallels between himself and Ahab, but is so consumed by his rage that he doesn't care, or is just so arrogant that he believes that, unlike Ahab, he could slay his white whale without destroying himself and his crew. Also, it's possible that Khan knows he will die as a result of his actions, but he wants to take Kirk with him. A "The Only One Allowed to Defeat You" sort of thing.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_25524784	comment	No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Wrath of Khan is often praised for its fast-moving, intense space battles. This is unusual for Star Trek because all of the ship-to-ship combat in this movie is done without shields—Kirk can't get Enterprise's shields up in time when Khan first attacks, and then hacks Reliant's computer to lower shields before retaliating. During the climax, conditions in the Mutara Nebula disable the shields of both ships. Conversely, Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis have been criticized for having boring space battles, since they follow the normal style of Trek combat where ships gradually chip away at each other's shields before doing damage.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_2a090d00	comment	Saavik is just about the most emotional Vulcan one will ever see. She gets visibly flustered and prickly when Kirk critiques her Kobayashi Maru test (and utters a "Damn!" during the test—highly uncharacteristic of Vulcans, as Spock lampshades in later films). She also sheds a few tears during Spock's funeral. A deleted scene points this out, with Spock offering a Hand Wave that she's half-Romulan. The novelization expands on this, describing Saavik as one of many half-Vulcan/half-Romulan children left to fend for themselves on a Crapsack World when the Romulan colony there was abandoned. She was never even exposed to Vulcan culture until adolescence, when Vulcans came to the planet and rescued her and her fellow half-breeds; therefore, she doesn't yet have the emotional mastery one would expect from a person who was raised with Surak's teachings from birth.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_2c628d38	comment	Worf Had the Flu: Enterprise is in a heavier weight class than Reliant (although Reliant is a newer design) and would likely win or at least be evenly matched in a straight up fight, and Kirk quickly proves himself the superior strategist and leader over the course of the film. But in their first confrontation, both ships ended up being attacked aggressively with their Deflector Shields down, and for the final confrontation both ships are in a nebula which disables shields and impairs scanners. This makes weapons fire very risky for both parties, as all damage is taken directly to the hull. Enterprise is additionally handicapped because it is staffed with a cadet crew, meaning Scotty loses most of his crew at a vital moment when the trainees panic and flee the engine room during the first attack. This is balanced in turn by the fact that Khan and his people are lost in time, even less numerous, and barely understand how to work their ship.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: Khan makes Chekov tell the Regula 1 lab that Kirk gave the order for Reliant to take control of Genesis. Khan knew they would contact Starfleet to try to verify the order, which would get Kirk involved. The fact that Dr. Marcus is Kirk's old flame is a happy coincidence for Khan. Khan's surprise attack on Enterprise hinges on them believing Reliant to still be an ally despite its strange behavior. This only works because Kirk ignores regulations that would require him to raise Enterprise's shields when they haven't been able to establish visual communication with another Starfleet vessel. Kirk later reverses this when he pretends to surrender and upon "agreeing" to Khan's terms demands proof that Khan won't just kill them all anyway and Khan refuses, telling Kirk he doesn't have a choice. Kirk seems to just meekly back down, but Khan's response tells Kirk that Khan isn't aware Enterprise can remotely control Reliant, otherwise he wouldn't have been so assured that Kirk was beaten and also that Khan hadn't been aware and altered the computer so this trick wouldn't work as he'd have taunted Kirk about this. Exploited when Kirk tries to goad Khan into beaming down to Regula to dispose of him personally. Kirk's obvious frustration (KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!) when this gambit fails helps to convince Khan that he has won. The actual gambit is that Kirk wanted Khan to think he had won so that Enterprise can return to pick them up while Khan still thinks she is crippled and trying to run. Kirk's plan to trick Khan into chasing Enterprise into the Mutara Nebula (where both ships will have a mutual disadvantage and thus be equal), which works since Khan is becoming unhinged and irrationally bent on revenge. Furthermore, this is all justified by Kirk's critical observation about Khan and his Berserk Button:

Moderately averted by the Genesis simulation. While it's clearly CGI, it still holds up as good CGI (especially for 1982), and it's also supposed to be CGI in-universe.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_3fafbfd4	comment	Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome: Given the youthful appearance of Joaqim and the rest of Khan's followers (compared to Khan himself who clearly looks at least fifteen years older), there has been speculation that this group is actually not his original followers but their children, a concept used in the expanded universe novel "To Reign in Hell" by Greg Cox. note However, they clearly look more than fifteen years old. And even assuming that they began having children immediately after being exiled on Ceti Alpha V (which would be a foolhardy choice at best considering the initial work required to at least make the world livable), the oldest child born wouldn't be older than thirteen or fourteen. Conversely, the comics and novelization of the movie suggest that they are indeed Khan's original followers and that Khan himself has simply aged prematurely due to the immense stress of his situation (losing his wife and most of his crew while having to fight to keep the survivors alive for 15 years on a Death World).

Of all the reused footage, this one makes the most sense, as we already saw that Starfleet had recorded footage of the V'ger incident.

Khan spent the whole movie in Smug Snake mode, convinced that his superior intellect and ability would always ensure he came out on top. The problem is, his pride is off the scale as well, and it will not let him walk away satisfied with a draw. Sure, he's probably smarter than Kirk, but he lets Kirk goad, embarrass, provoke, humilate, and enrage him into a fight where his intellect means nothing, because Kirk's experience is several orders of magnitude greater than his and experience is the deciding factor. Kirk doesn't have to be smarter. Even the most trusted member of Khan's crew literally begs him just to let things go and walk away, but he won't listen.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_50f66629	comment	Crazy-Prepared: Starfleet ships come with a prefix code, allowing another ship to access their computer and make commands remotely. Kirk mentions it comes standard for the exact reason they were facing at that moment: the code prevents an enemy who doesn't know it from taking remote control of a Starfleet vessel, while allowing a Starfleet vessel who does know the code to take control in the event of...well, pretty much exactly what happens in the film. The shooting script goes into a bit more detail about this. Command signals are transmitted around the ship by subspace, because it's faster than closed circuits (which are limited to relativistic speeds). Thatâ€™s why the prefix code is necessary. By using Reliant's code, Enterprise is able to transmit a signal that looks to Reliant's shield generator like it's coming from Reliant's bridge.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_62907b90	comment	Bottle Episode: The film is functionally a bottle episode because of the absurdly high budget of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In order to conserve this sequel's budget, its script was written with a focus on the bridge set. The existing bridge set from the first film was made of modular wedge shapes, allowing it to be easily redressed as the Reliant bridge (along with a little paint and changing a few displays). Engineering, sickbay, and Kirk's quarters also appear pretty much just as they were in the first movie. Stock Footage from the first movie was used for the Klingon ships in the Kobayashi Maru test, Enterprise leaving spacedock, and a few establishing shots. Reliant was the only new starship model used (with Regula I being a re-use of the "orbital office complex" from the first film just turned upside down). Both models would also be heavily re-used later on in The Next Generation. The only new sets are Kirk's apartment, the main set for Regula I, Khan's home on Ceti Alpha V, and a few corridors (in Starfleet Command and on Regula I), with matte paintings and miniatures used to make them more impressive. Space suits and uniforms from the first movie were also reused. Chekov wears Kirk's suit from the first movie while Terrell wears Spock's. The engineering crew all wear the same radiation suits they had in the first film. The red jumpsuits seen by the trainee crewmen were recycled from the pale colored TMP uniforms. Red happened to be the dye that worked the best.

A common fan theory is that Chekov was part of the crew during the first season, but not assigned to the bridge or any other location seen by the audience. Walter Koenig joked that he believes Chekov accidentally made Khan wait an uncomfortable amount of time to use the bathroom. He also says he spotted the hole immediately when he was given the script, but he wasn't about to mention it to the producers and give up such a large role in the story for Chekov.

In the novelization, Khan also believes that Kirk was promoted to Admiral because Kirk exiled him (in "Space Seed", Khan was not exiled but granted the planet by Kirk after dropping all charges, to give Khan what he wanted — i.e. "a new life, a new world to rule"). Touched on in the movie by the way Khan emphasizes Admiral after being corrected by Capt. Terrell.

He's very intelligent, but he lets his Pride and desire for revenge get the better of him, causing him to make mistakes. Kirk and David. Saavik, by Vulcan standards, is prone to some quite emotional outbursts. She swears mildly and mutters under her breath about being in over their heads during the Kobayashi Maru sim, is visibly frustrated at her failure afterward, is quite bemused at human behaviour in general, and shows obvious, if subdued, grief at Spock's death. In the novelization and the Star Trek Expanded Universe, this is explained by Saavik being half Vulcan and half Romulan.

Spock gives him a copy of A Tale of Two Cities because he "knows of his fondness for antiques". Bones gives him a pair of reading glasses, knowing that Kirk is allergic to a medication that would have improved his vision. In fact, it's worth noting that Kirk is later seen reading the book with those glasses on his way to Enterprise to run an inspection. But the gifts don't make him happy, because as Bones observes, Kirk would prefer to be "out there hopping galaxies" instead of bound to desk duty, the one thing his friends can't give him.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_70638525	comment	Luke, You Are My Father: Doesn't actually occur on screen, so the viewer is left unsure as to when David finds out who his father is. When David and Kirk first meet the former is extremely hostile to the latter, even going so far as to accuse Kirk of killing everyone at Regula. At the end of the movie, David and Kirk reconcile and he says he's proud to be Kirk's son. It's possible David knew all along and just refused to acknowledge it. The dialog makes it fairly clear that Kirk knows he's the father, but has obviously also never met David face to face before this film. It's notable that David knows who Kirk is, based on his early dialogue explaining his distrust of Starfleet. He brings him up, not Carol. And refers to him as "that overgrown Boy Scout (she) used to hang around." David's a smart man, he might have had his suspicions already. After things calmed down, he might have analyzed his mother's and Kirk's reactions ("Is that David?" from Kirk, and when David accuses him of killing the Regula scientists, Carol immediately defends Kirk, with a pointed "You're just making this more difficult.") and confronted his mother off screen.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: When Carol calls Kirk to demand answers for why Reliant is trying to seize Genesis, she uses nothing but pronouns and vague statements ("they", "the order", etc.) which only serve to confuse Kirk, since he has no idea what she's talking about or any context. The signal is jammed eventually, but they converse long enough that Carol could have given some specific details if she only thought to do so. When Kirk subsequently runs into Reliant, which is mysteriously uncommunicative, he fails to connect the dots and associate the ship's odd behavior with Carol's earlier message about Genesis being taken. Acknowledged In-Universe when Kirk beats himself over his mistake that let Khan cripple the ship. Khan fails to recognize the incredibly simple code used by Kirk and Spock when discussing repair times. Carried by Reliant's crew as they mistake Ceti Alpha V for Ceti Alpha VI (imagine mistaking Earth for Mars), and by Chekov for not remembering that Khan was left on. In their defense, Ceti Alpha VI was destroyed, Ceti Alpha V's orbit was shifted to be closer to Ceti Alpha VI's, they are both in an out-of-the-way system that was not well surveyed, and Ceti Alpha V had formerly been a life-filled planet, but was devastated by the orbit shift to more closely resemble Ceti Alpha VI.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_77b03c0a	comment	Remember the New Guy?: Khan meets Chekov and says he knows him because "I never forget a face."

Numerous explanations have been thrown about (he was on the ship, just not as bridge crew; Chekov was the officer in charge of delivering the supplies and food to Ceti Alpha V; an obvious joke about Chekov occupying a latrine Khan wanted to use), but ultimately it comes down to this trope. Another example is Doctor Carol Marcus, Kirk's old flame. They even a had a son together. McCoy's aware of her, too (presumably from back in the day). And yet we're only hearing about her now, after all these years.note A popular fan theory is that the "little blonde lab technician" mentioned in the second pilot episode of the series that Kirk "almost married" is Carol Marcus. This theory has received a Shrug of God.

But it's still played straight in a different way; Enterprise has to rise back onto the same plane as Reliant to fire instead of shooting up from below (which is especially bad, as this would give them a much better "profile" to shoot at). Watch closely when Reliant first blasts Enterprise with phasers and you can see a display on a bridge panel showing the ship tilting wildly out of trim, as if concepts like list and trim had meanings in space.

Several hours later everyone else thinks Enterprise has left and Kirk reveals his trump card, assuming that Khan was listening in on their communications regulation stated they needed to speak in code. "Hours will seem like days" meant that transporters would be online in two hours, not two days. Kirk's command to leave in one hour meant one day, and waited to contact Enterprise when they could transport them back. Khan WAS listening, and attempted to ambush Enterprise at Regula One right as they were to leave but Spock had them on the other side of the planet. When he finally sees Enterprise again he remarks that the ship was not as crippled as he was led to believe.

But then he realized, as he read the story, that Khan's impact on the other characters is present on every single page of the script, and immediately agreed to reprise the role. (It's worth noting that Khan's name hadn't been put in the title yet.)

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Of Kirk. His being Married to the Job with his Type being women also devoted to their careers ends up with Carol being bitter and a son he had to stay away from, the showâ€™s habit for running off at the end of every week comes back to bite him in the form of Khan, and being a traumatised Determinator with a penchant for denial means heâ€™s actually forced to face loss when Spock dies (and not just try and pretend everything is fine) and cheated on a test expressly designed to deal with loss. The movie also amplifies Starfleetâ€™s military nature, as they as well as Kirk forgot about Khan until it was too late. There were shades of this in the previous film, The Motion Picture, where it was shown that Kirk was clearly unhappy when he was anything other than being the captain of Enterprise, and was shown to be more grumpy than usual when things didn't fall into place the way he wanted them to be. While lost in the shuffle of the previous film, these elements are explored more thoroughly here.

When Reliant and Enterprise engage at nearly point-blank range in the Mutara Nebula, Enterprise's phaser salvo hits the port side of Reliant's upper dome. Since both ships' shields are down due to being in the nebula, this causes severe damage to Reliant's bridge and kills everyone inside except Khan.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_952d21ec	comment	Bus Crash: Marla McGivers (Khan's lover from "Space Seed") has died offscreen at some point in the interim between the original episode and the film, which is not surprising considering the ordeal killed many of Khan's own (superhuman) people. It is popularly believed that McGivers was killed off because Madlyn Rhue, the actress who played her, was suffering from multiple sclerosis, which would eventually confine her to a wheelchair, and the production team opted against giving McGivers a Written-In Infirmity to account for this. However, this bit of Common Knowledge received a thorough debunking from Fact Trek. In short, credits dating from the time when the film would have been in production (including, amusingly, an episode of Fantasy Island, though she and Montalban don't have any scenes together), show that Rhue is still mobile, and she would remain so for some years thereafter. (She also continued to act even after being confined to a wheelchair, including in a recurring role as the Cabot Cove librarian in Murder, She Wrote.) In addition, when Rhue revealed her MS diagnosis to the public in the late 1980s, she confessed that she had been concealing it from everyone and that nobody knew about it. Although McGivers appears in earlier drafts of the screenplay, she largely plays the role filled by Joachim in the finished film. The reason for killing her character offscreen is that it gives Khan some serious motivation for wanting personal revenge against Kirk.note Technically, Khan's "beloved wife" is not identified by name in the finished film, but the script explicitly identifies her as McGivers.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_97d54bb0	comment	A minor one: when Khan takes off his makeshift environmental suit in his first scene in the film he is already wearing a medallion that looks like the belt buckles worn with the then-current Starfleet uniforms, with a notch taken out of the circle around the arrowhead. The problem is that at the time Khan was marooned on Ceti Alpha V not only was such a buckle not part of the uniform, but Starfleet had not yet adopted Enterprise's Command section insignia as a universal emblem (each ship had its own emblem in the original series).

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_97d97c28	comment	Revenge Before Reason: Khan has this pointed out by his underlings, twice no less. First they have a Federation starship, they can go anywhere. Then they have Genesis and a Federation starship, so they can go anywhere and have a planet-killing bomb as insurance. Khan refuses to listen to this both times and proceeds with his plan of revenge. There's a reason he owns a copy of Moby Dick and routinely quotes Ahab.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: To Spock, after the Kobayashi Maru scenario, where everyone but Saavik played dead: The movie is full of this. For example, Khan's chess set is a 2-D version (in the original series, Kirk was often seen playing 3-D chess), which points out Khan's difficulty in fighting in three dimensions (as a starship would), which helps lead to his defeat. Also, in Khan's quarters, you can see titles of books that Khan will draw inspiration from and frequently quote, including Moby-Dick. Spock gives Kirk an antique copy of A Tale of Two Cities. Kirk quotes the iconic passage, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," asking Spock if he's trying to say something. Spock meant nothing by it, only saying that Kirk's birthday must be "the best of times." Naturally, what follows is "the worst of times." The closing lines of that book ("It is a far far better thing I do than I have ever done before") also foreshadow the ending of the film, as both works feature people who willingly sacrifice themselves so that others may live. While supposedly "marooned for all eternity" inside the planet Regula, Kirk nevertheless keeps checking his watch. He's keeping tabs on the real repair estimate so Enterprise can beam them all up. Gee, the close-up shot of that photon torpedo being lowered into the chamber makes it look an awful lot like a coffin, doesn't it? One of Bones's last lines foreshadows the plot of the next film:

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_9dab0a6e	type	Continuity Nod
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: As the movie is a sequel to "Space Seed," the entire film is one big one to that episode. Like many times before in the original show, Bones helps out his depressed friend with booze, this time Romulan Ale. As in TMP, at least one supporting character from TOS turns up, with a promotion. As noted in The Cameo, transporter operator Lieutenant Kyle from the original series shows up, still serving with his old crewmate Chekhov, as Reliant's communications officer, now promoted to commander. The implications are more significant than the usual cameo because of Khan's prior interactions with the Enterprise crew: Since Kyle played a prominent role in "Space Seed" while Chekov did not, and Khan recognized Chekov instantly, there is little doubt that Khan recognized Kyle, but this is not shown onscreen. Enterprise's training cruise heads for the Gamma Hydra sector — the same location as the TOS episode "The Deadly Years". In the TV episode, the aging of the command crew (and how to overcome it) drove the plot; here, it's subtext. After the first exchange, Reliant is forced to withdraw when Kirk's attack cripples their torpedo controls and warp drive, rendering them unable to return fire. It's established in Star Trek: The Motion Picture that the new phaser system channels power through the warp drive, therefore damage to that system cuts off power to the phasers. One of the books seen in the Botany Bay is Paradise Lost. Khan referenced Milton when choosing exile over imprisonment. From the last movie, Kirk is still miserable about his growing age/not having a ship, while Spock is trying to deal with being okay regarding emotions and the human niceties like giving your best friend pressies.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_9de7a5d0	type	Fix Fic
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_9de7a5d0	comment	Fix Fic: A classic Star Trek example, fixing an apparent continuity glitch—in the film, Khan and Chekhov recognize each other upon meeting. However, "Space Seed", the episode of Star Trek: The Original Series in which Khan appears, is a first-season episode, and Walter Koenig did not join the cast of the show until the second season. The semi-official retcon (not explained in any of the shows or movies, but widely propagated by producers and actors in convention appearances) is that Chekov was on Enterprise at that time, he just wasn't part of the bridge crew yet and thus didn't appear on screen. After all, Khan was trying to recruit the crew to follow him, with the implied narrative that every single crew member (other than Lt. McGivers, of course) refused to do so, out of a ship's complement of 430, while only about 30 of the crew are shown onscreen, so Chekov could easily have been among those not shown, since there was never any canonical evidence showing when Chekov officially came onboard Enterprise. Likewise, Khan had full access to the names and other information of the crew, who as prisoners would likewise give their names, ranks and serial-numbers, etc.A very funny fanfic distributed in print ('zines, photocopies, etc.) not long after the movie came out expands on that, envisioning Khan and Chekov bumping into each other in the bathroom. Sillier versions have Khan vowing revenge on Chekhov for making him wait for the cubicle and/or using all the toilet paper (which is actually Walter Koenig's own joke).

Then brought back almost immediately when Kirk decides to beam down to Regula One himself. Saavik does exactly what he told her to do and reminds him of the regulation that states he can't as a flag officer without a proper escort in a dangerous situation. The novelization makes it clear that his immediate assertation that "there's no such regulation!" is Kirk blatantly trying to invoke this trope in the hopes she'll drop it. She just stares him down, and he acquiesces.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_a8a4b41e	comment	Not So Stoic: Spock is clearly distraught when an anguished Scotty carries his badly burned, dying nephew to the bridge. Saavik is just about the most emotional Vulcan one will ever see. She gets visibly flustered and prickly when Kirk critiques her Kobayashi Maru test (and utters a "Damn!" during the test—highly uncharacteristic of Vulcans, as Spock lampshades in later films). She also sheds a few tears during Spock's funeral. A deleted scene points this out, with Spock offering a Hand Wave that she's half-Romulan. The novelization expands on this, describing Saavik as one of many half-Vulcan/half-Romulan children left to fend for themselves on a Crapsack World when the Romulan colony there was abandoned. She was never even exposed to Vulcan culture until adolescence, when Vulcans came to the planet and rescued her and her fellow half-breeds; therefore, she doesn't yet have the emotional mastery one would expect from a person who was raised with Surak's teachings from birth.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_b2283870	comment	Retool: Director Nicholas Meyer made some changes, most notably making Starfleet like an actual navy and giving the crew uniforms which looked less like a product of the 60's/70's, sporting uniforms with a more classical and thus timeless look. So timeless, in fact, that they used those same uniforms for the rest of the TOS films and, in continuity, were used by Starfleet in some form up until 2350's, about 70 years after this film and 10 years before Star Trek: The Next Generation.note Picard can be seen wearing one as an ensign in 2327 in the episode "Tapestry", and "Cause and Effect" establishes that the uniforms were created as early as 2278, 7 years before the events of this movie.

But in their first confrontation, both ships ended up being attacked aggressively with their Deflector Shields down, and for the final confrontation both ships are in a nebula which disables shields and impairs scanners. This makes weapons fire very risky for both parties, as all damage is taken directly to the hull.

Khan then loses any tiny sliver of moral high ground he may have held by putting Ceti eels in Chekov and Terrell, which will eventually kill them if not removed, then hijacks Reliant and dumps its crew on the planet.

Naturally, Khan ignores him both times. Plays very well into both of Khan's flaws, wrath and pride.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_c67af1b0	comment	Big Bad Wannabe: This is what Kirk reduces Khan to at the climax of the film. Khan spent the whole movie in Smug Snake mode, convinced that his superior intellect and ability would always ensure he came out on top. The problem is, his pride is off the scale as well, and it will not let him walk away satisfied with a draw. Sure, he's probably smarter than Kirk, but he lets Kirk goad, embarrass, provoke, humilate, and enrage him into a fight where his intellect means nothing, because Kirk's experience is several orders of magnitude greater than his and experience is the deciding factor. Kirk doesn't have to be smarter. Even the most trusted member of Khan's crew literally begs him just to let things go and walk away, but he won't listen. Notably, Khan is completely aware of this, as evidenced by his literary references. He repeatedly compares the situation to Moby-Dick, casting himself as Ahab. Also, his tendency to compare himself to Satan goes all the way back to "Space Seed."

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_ca95473c	comment	Series Continuity Error: The most famous of which is Khan recognizing Chekov, even though the character wasn't in "Space Seed". When asked about this at conventions, Walter Koenig likes to tell a humorous story about how Chekov, then a lowly Red Shirt, met Khan by using a restroom Khan had much need of. Upon discovering that Chekov had also depleted the toilet paper, Khan cursed the poor ensign and declared he would never forget his face. Koenig was joking, of course, but it's entirely possible that Chekov was a junior officer on Enterprise at the time of "Space Seed", and only later got promoted to the bridge crew (and thus became an on-screen character). This is explicitly the case in the novelization: it describes Chekov having an encounter with Khan while still a junior officer assigned to the overnight watch on the bridge. The second season episode "Catspaw" features Chekov not at his usual navigator station but filling in at Spock's science station while Spock is off the ship. The stardates given in the episode (3018.2) place it before "Space Seed," (3141.9) providing on-screen evidence that Chekov was on the ship before Khan, but not yet assigned to the navigator post that would make him a regular fixture on the bridge. It should be noted, however, that it wasn't until Star Trek: The Next Generation that stardate use was made consistently chronological (for example, there are a couple of Star Trek: The Animated Series episodes with stardates higher than that of the first movie, yet clearly set before.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_d7472e4f	type	Kicked Upstairs
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_d7472e4f	comment	Kicked Upstairs: Kirk's promotion to Admiral (established in the previous film, though he briefly downgrades his rank voluntarily to captain for that mission) is explained. He accepted promotion willingly out of a feeling of being over the hill, and has to be talked into getting his command back by both Bones and Spock. (Expanded Universe and other media have suggested that Kirk voluntarily downgraded himself to captain for the duration of a second five-year mission with Enterprise, however there is no actual indication of this on screen and certainly not in this movie, so as far as the film continuity is concerned, Kirk never lost the admiral rank he had at the start of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.) It should be noted that the tradition in the British Navy, as reflected in works like the Hornblower books that exerted significant influence on Star Trek in general and this film in particular, was that the proper, functional title of the person explicitly charged with commanding a ship, having been "read in" as the vessel's commander on boarding, was "Captain" even if his rank was higher. If Starfleet followed the same model, Kirk answering to the functional title of Captain when taking up formal command of Enterprise did not affect his graded rank of Admiral and did not constitute demotion (self-inflicted or otherwise). Kirk's reduction to Captain at the end of the fourth movie, in contrast, was a demotion in graded rank imposed as punishment for disobeying orders.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_da1c8191	comment	Writers Cannot Do Math: Kirk tells Carol "There's man out there I haven't seen in fifteen years who's trying to kill me," which is the real-life timespan between "Space Seed"'s original airdate in 1967 and this film's release in 1982. However, "Space Seed" took place in the year 2267, while this film takes place in 2285, which is 18 years later in the Star Trek universe. Khan makes a similar error by saying that Kirk marooned him 15 years before. Likewise, unless some of Khan's followers were made up of literal children when they were left on Ceti Alpha V, his remaining followers are all far too young to have been his original crew but too old to have been born to the original Augmented humans in the period of time which passed. Some expanded universe materials attempted to solve this by saying they were in fact the children born to the original Augments who aged at a faster rate than normal into their prime due to their superior genetics.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_df582b0b	comment	Continuity Snarl: Khan immediately recognizes Chekov, even though the ensign wasn't yet a part of the crew when Khan tried to take over the ship in the original series. A common fan theory is that Chekov was part of the crew, but not on the bridge. Walter Koenig joked that he believes Chekov accidentally made Khan wait an uncomfortable amount of time to use the bathroom. There is some evidence for the fan theory. Chekov appears in â€œCatspaw,â€� which has an earlier stardate than â€œSpace Seed.â€� Chekov does not appear at the navigatorâ€™s station in â€œCatspaw,â€� which is consistent with the theory that this was before he became part of the regular bridge crew. note Stardates in the original series were not as linear or organized as those used in later series, however, and episodes were broadcast in a different order than their production order, which means some episodes that obviously follow others can have an earlier stardate. A minor one: when Khan takes off his makeshift environmental suit in his first scene in the film he is already wearing a medallion that looks like the belt buckles worn with the then-current Starfleet uniforms, with a notch taken out of the circle around the arrowhead. The problem is that at the time Khan was marooned on Ceti Alpha V not only was such a buckle not part of the uniform, but Starfleet had not yet adopted Enterprise's Command section insignia as a universal emblem (each ship had its own emblem in the original series). So where did it come from? Some fans suggest it is a Tragic Keepsake from his wife Marla McGivers but she was not part of the command department: her "arrowhead", even if she had worn one, would not have had the star in the center but the "support services" spiral.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_f9876f7e	comment	Faking the Dead: Spock supposedly dies at the beginning of the film. This scene was concocted hastily by Nick Meyer after hearing that spoilers had leaked about Spock dying in the film. To preserve the wham factor of Spock dying, the Kobayashi Maru and its disastrous aftermath was added to fool viewers into thinking that this was the "Spock dies" moment the spoilers meant.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_fbbef9d3	type	Character Aged with the Actor
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_fbbef9d3	comment	Character Aged with the Actor The film takes place 16 years after the last episode of the original series, and was made 13 years after said episode was made. Kirk's advancing age is a major theme of the film. On the other hand, Khan's followers (but not Khan himself) appear to be affected by Comic-Book Time. None of them is played by the original actors from the television episode. There is speculation as to whether or not these are the same persons from "Space Seed", especially given the obvious difference between Joaquin ("Space Seed") and Joaquim (Wrath of Khan), who are said in Expanded Universe to be father and son, Joaquin having died in the intervening years. The relatively youthful appearance of Joaquim and the other Augments suggests that these are all the children of Khan's deceased original crew. The novelization and comic book of the movie, in contrast, posit that Khan has aged more rapidly than his followers due to The Chains of Commanding on what is essentially a Death World.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: According to this short documentary, the ILM team that put together the Genesis proposal scenes used the stars as actually seen from Epsilon Indi (a nearby K-class dwarf) as the background. The Sun is visible toward the end below the Genesis planet as an extra star in the Big Dipper. Harve Bennett, when given the reins of the Star Trek franchise, had no experience whatsoever with it. So, one weekend he had a marathon session of watching each and every episode to bring himself up to date on the franchise. Keep in mind, he didn't watch it on videotape - he watched it on kinescope. Spock's death is a fairly accurate depiction of acute radiation poisoning, which causes blindness and skin damage similar to burns.
