This is amazing.
People always discount William Shatner as an over-actor, but this mesmerizing loop of his most famous syllable really highlights the incredible range of nonverbal emotion he is managing to convey with just a clenching of his jaw and a tic of his eye. This is only a few minutes long but apparently the full version is 15 minutes. This needs to be made into a screensaver or something.
Somehow I think Chris Pine has a long way to go before he can deliver something similar. It should be noted that even in the alternate timeline of the movie, Khan is out there, waiting to be discovered.
UPDATE – ah, Youtube! Here’s the complete Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in ten minutes.
UPDATE 2 – and who can resist Wrath of Khan as a literal space opera, courtesy of Robot Chicken?
