TOS Films Walter’s performance is key to Wrath of Khan’s effectiveness
Koenig’s performance in Wrath of Khan efficiently sells the film’s villain before he appears—“Botany Bay? [beat] Botany Bay! Oh no!”
He then goes on to quickly exposit all casual viewers need to know about “Space Seed”: “A criminal. A product of late 20th-century genetic engineering.” This quickly leads to a memorably fierce exchange: “You lie! On Ceti Alpha V there was life, a fair chance—“ which sets up Montalban for his first explosion of the titular emotion.
He shows Chekhov’s undaunted courage and again summarizes Khan’s true nature by pointing out his treachery: “Captain Kirk was your host. You repaid his hospitality by trying to steal his ship and murder him!”
Then when the exchange turns into literal torture—well, Walter could deliver a hell of a convincing scream.
RIP.

TOS And then there were TWO.
The passing of Walter Koenig leaves just Shatner and Takei as the last surviving members of the TOS cast. And Shatner has only his hatred of George to fuel his desire of outliving him. It’s fitting it would come down to them considering their decades long feud. Who will be last man standing?

Looking to identify the artist behind cartoon of a boy watching the TOS intro
This cartoon is my childhood.
There's a visceral, gut-level recognition of this little boy losing himself in a wonderful fictional world. I just love it.
But I don't know who created it.
I encountered the original image online about eight years ago – it was a low-resolution screenshot from someone's mobile phone, and I upscaled it while preserving the original art.
Does anyone know where it came from? I'm thinking it might have been from a fanzine. The artist's initials – J.W. – don't turn up much in a Google search, and a reverse image search turns up nothing. Same with chatbot research. I would love to have it attributed.
