Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!


In truth I've been working on this homage to hairless bare chests, men with long, be-fringed salt-and-pepper hair, and (of course) the Original Series for such a relatively long time that it is borderline embarrassing. WHAT BETTER OPPORTUNITY to celebrate such things, though, than at the tail-end (ahem) of Valentine's Day? That is this project's saving grace (I hope.)

The Untamed Eroticism of the image/this sort-of holiday aside, however, I also feel that Khan is a character who (prior to being enveloped by the Genesis Project-related nebular explosion) really taught us (the Audience) a little something about the dangers of loving something Too Much (i.e. getting a tad over-enthusiastic about revenge, especially when it was against The One Man who could clearly Never be beaten, el capitán J.T. Kirk.)  

A moment of quiet consideration, please.
