Like the film, aka "Grumpy Old Men In Space"
When it became known that Khan would be the antagonist of Star Trek II, how was the fan reaction?

After disposing of all laws of physics and Trek canon.
Meh, Star Trek disposed of the laws of physics in the first five minutes of "The Cage."
It's nice that he had a personal change of heart, but the mission Starfleet sent him on was one of sheer colonialism: Get ore production back up to speed by any means necessary.
Kirk continued to hunt the Horta with the intention of killing it even after he knew that it was intelligent - and pretty certainly native to the planetoid where the miners were interlopers.

This thread....it tasks me.
Maybe Carol and Theodore were the cousins...?
Oops..my mistake.
The back story lied!
Checkoff was not in the Space Seed.
OH!
I have a solution for how Kirk is not the worst asshole and women, all of them, can eat crow for shouting that nugget from the roof tops.
Every time we saw Kirk get to first base in the original series, and he should have had a reliable girlfriend for 6 to 18 episode of the first run, Jim got sentimental and admitted that he was dad and that he loved his kid, and these women, all of them, ran, because dating a guy with kids is the worst.
Not at all. The power to create illusions was their weakness, and the Talosians wanted to avoid others falling prey to it by learning the same.
They thought that it was hunting humans, not that it was a mother defending her children. This was an unprecedented shift in science fiction.
FTL travel violates the laws of physics.
Yes, it does. Do better than chanting "Alcubierre."
The horta knew what a reactor pump was despite probably never having seen one. Proof of at least human-level intelligence.
They were hunting the indigenous people for trying to repel invaders, because it was interfering with business. Kirk said so.
Colonizers.
Nothing of the kind. How much sf of the 50s and 60s have you actually read?
I'm sorry???
Any man who has more than 70 lovers per year for their entire adult life may not be a genuine or sincere person at heart, so it is the highest duty of every good natured soul to warn their friends and colleagues about wheresoever such a fickle emotional predator looms, waiting to pounce.
Seventy?
On average.
Some times a little more, some times a little less.
If you count the comics and novels.
It also makes Jesus cry.
Who do you think God sends to clean up the mess?
Billy Mays?
I don't recollect there being much preliminary talk of it at all back then. Build ups to sequels weren't like today. I don't even remember hearing much about the title beforehand, only that a sequel was coming. I remember in the theaters that seeing him show up was still somewhat novel to the audience, especially the look of him compared to TOS & Fantasy Island. There was a lot about that movie that was novel to people. That's what I think was the strength that propelled it to success. It got the recipe right
Exactly not enough.
Walter Koenig used to explain at conventions that Chekov was in the lower decks during Season One. Not yet certified for bridge shifts. He met Khan in a bathroom after spoiled chicken was served at his banquet. Khan was suffering a bad bout of Montezuma's Revenge -- but Chekov was in the cubical first. Khan waited impatiently. Chekov finally emerged -- and Khan warned him that he'd never forget his face.
