Did Captain Kirk doom the galaxy when he exiled Khan to Ceti Alpha V? After diving into episodes 1-4 of Star Trek's new Khan audio drama, I'm convinced we need to seriously examine Kirk's moral responsibility for everything that followed.
The first four episodes explore Khan's 15-year struggle on Ceti Alpha V in ways that make you question everything you thought you knew about this classic Trek rivalry. This isn't just another villain origin story - it's a complex examination of leadership, survival, and the unintended consequences of mercy.
What do you think? Was Kirk right to give Khan a second chance, or did his compassion create the monster we see in "Wrath of Khan"? Let me know in the comments!
