"Ah, Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? It is very cold in space."
One of the best villains in the Star Trek Universe is Khan Noonien Singh. His rival with Kirk is best shown in the Star Trek film Wrath of Khan. Thus we are at our eighth episode of Cue Perception. Today you'll hear a excellent cue by JAMES HORNER from that film. I won't be giving that away right here, or right now. You'll have to listen for it and enjoy the cue for what it is. I can tell you it's exciting, exhilarating and engaging. I'm sure that after you've listened to this cue, you'll have a greater appreciation for the film. So sit back and enjoy.
