So they announced that production had concluded on the Khan audio show… this would be an audio program produced by Star Trek II director Nicholas Meyer that would focus on Khan’s time on Ceti Alpha V in between the episode Space Seed and the aforementioned Wrath of Khan. I’ll be honest; I’m unfamiliar with any of the people they’ve casted. The guy who is playing Khan apparently looks the part, so if his voice carries as much weight, we have someone who could probably play the role on TV.
In regards to this series being a thing… I’m ambivalent on another thing about Khan Noonien Singh after Into Darkness and one of the SNW people being a descendant of the character, but the idea of Star Trek venturing into full-cast audio dramas does intrigue me. They attempted something like this with No Man’s Land, which tried (and failed) to build on the (lack of) chemistry between Raffi and Seven. That, and the story itself wasn’t all that great, but it did open the door for more of those type of things to be made and I do hope that it’s a direction that the franchise explores further, even if these stories end up being relegated to B-canon material that is eventual overridden by something on TV that turns out to be even shittier.
Curious to see how this turns out… and whether more of this follows…
On the bright side… aren’t you glad we’re not talking about Section 31?
