“Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” gives Pavel Chekov (the late Walter Koenig) one of his meatier arcs in any of the “Star Trek” films. In his new assignment as first officer of the USS Reliant, Chekov and his captain, Terrell (Paul Winfield), scout planets as a testing site for the Genesis device<\/a>. But what they think is planet Ceti Alpha VI is actually the barren Ceti Alpha V, where the Enterprise left Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalb\u00e1n), the 20th century’s most infamous genetically engineered warlord<\/a>, and his followers at the end of the episode “Space Seed.”<\/p>\n

Chekov and Terrell are captured and brainwashed via Ceti eels implanted in their ears. Khan and his people thus seize the Reliant, and boom, we have our movie.<\/p>\n
