Ricardo Montalban, who played possibly the best opponent to Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek movie series,
has passed away. He was maybe best known as Mr. Roarke on Fantasy Island and as the commercial spokesman for Chrysler in the 70s, praising the carmaker's "rich
Corinthian leather" seats. He's best known to Star Trek fans as Kirk's nemesis,
Khan Noonien Singh, in both an episode of the original TV series and in the second Star Trek movie,
The Wrath of Khan.
The subject title comes from a famous exchange between Kirk and Khan from The Wrath of Khan, after Kirk taunts Khan on his apparent failed attempt to kill him:
I've done far worse than kill you, Admiral. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on... hurting you.
