I couldn't agree more. I loved that guy so much, my German Shepherd happens to be named "Khan".

It wasn't the Genesis device this time.

The guy was a mountain.  To bad to see him go, though i'm glad he lived a long life.

No villian has ever come close to him throught Star Trek.

He was great playing the calm cool Khan in Space Seed through to the vengeful, almost mad Khan in TWOK and the only way to defeat him was having a main character kill himself, wonderful acting and drama which helped shape Star Trek as we know it.

May he rest in peace with all the other Trek greats who are all now exploring the final frontier.
