Kelvin, Amy, & Christos are back to discuss the audio drama Star Trek: Khan, which details the titular character's tragic transformation from a visionary leader on Ceti Alpha V into a vengeful villain. We comment on the satisfying narrative elements, such as the nuanced portrayal of various Augments and the moral role of Marla McGivers, while debating whether Khan is a sympathetic figure or a quintessential antagonist. The episode concludes with trivia about the production's history and a preview of upcoming discussions on genetic engineering and other Star Trek series.
