Positively Trek 312: History is Written by the Victors

Star Trek: Khan Episodes 1 and 2


Khan Noonien Singh has long been thought of as the quintessential Star Trek villain. But is the view of him we get in “Space Seed” and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan the whole picture? Or is there more to this larger-than-life man of history for us to discover?


In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry dive into the first two episodes, “Paradise” and “Scheherazade,” of Star Trek: Khan, a new dramatic podcast written by Kirsten Beyer and David Mack from a story by Nicholas Meyer. We talk about the history of the project, the writing, the cast, and the story, as well as where we think the series is going to go in the coming weeks!
