Well, yeah...William Shatner probably would have made the scene hammy even if it was meant to be a legitimately tear-jerking.

But it wasn't.

There are many, many scenes in Star Trek where you can laugh at Shatner's acting. The "Khaaaaaan!" scene really isn't one of them. He has a reason for saying it like that. It makes sense in context. It isn't just Shatner being a bad actor.

But it was meant to be legitimately tear-jerking unless you want to do something colossally stupid like spoiling the dramatic tension of the scene by viewing the narrative out of sequence. Both audience AND Khan are supposed to interpret that scene at face value as it comes. The big reveal that he's lying comes later.

And of course, Kirk deceiving by chewing the scenery only works because Kirk chews the scenery almost as frequently as Bones. In the mouth of another captain, attempting to flatter Khan with a yell of impotent rage probably wouldn't work.
