The Tandem Of Khan And Collection Services Wouldn't Be Feasible

By Rob Sutter


Speaking as someone who hasn't watched too much of "Star Trek" on television, I can tell you that the movies has done a great deal for me as an action movie fan. I enjoy the idea of being able to travel from planet to planet, coming across new life forms and seeing how they will interact. Of course, action is always at the forefront and the litany of characters has made certain of this as well. Perhaps the most noteworthy villain, Khan, would not work in certain ways, collection services being amongst them.

As much as I haven't watched "Star Trek" to great extents, I will say that I respect the franchise for what it had brought to science fiction. It's definitely one of the major players as far as this genre is concerned and it's hard to find anyone who will argue the point. Along with a litany of worlds to discover, you had a reason to become attached to one character after another. I can only hope that others feel this way, regardless of how little time they have spent with this entity.

Collection services should be talked about first because of how many rules seem to be tied into this level of work. They are understood by reputable companies the likes of Rapid Recovery and the work is much better because of it. I think that said companies are able to stand firmly on moral ground in order to perform the best work possible. Unfortunately for Khan, it's not the kind of quality that can be tied into his character and there is a number of reasons for this.

This may sound embarrassing to say now but with Khan, it seemed like "Star Trek: Into Darkness" was the only time I got to see him in action. Like I said, I didn't see much of the television show or the older movies, so it's difficult for me to make a true assessment. However, from what I've seen, the movie portrayed a great representation of the character. Yes, there were human qualities but didn't stop him from acting out in the most savage of ways.

I don't care how many human traits they attempt to give Khan; he's still one of the most regarded villains of sci-fi. He was to "Star Trek" what Darth Vader was to "Star Wars" in terms of savagery and this was seen in a couple of ways. It was clear that he was able to hold his own if matters became too physical but his ability to outwit others with cunning seemed even scarier. I'm sure that kids back then - and even today - shuddered at the thought of this character.
