KHAAAAAN!!!

Story: Space Seed
Written By: Gene L. Coon and Carey Wilber
Series: Star Trek: The Original Series
Year: 1967

"Space Seed" is an absolute classic! It is the introduction of a character who only appeared once in the series, but would return for the ultimate comeback ever in the second film. Khan Noonien-Singh. Khan is a genetically altered human leftover from the Eugenics War in the 90s (ha!). Kirk and Co. awake him before they know who and what he is, and he wreaks havoc on the Enterprise.
The episode is well paced, well performed, and all around good Star Trek fun. Top Ten material for sure. Love the Montalbaun.
