Gasp! I should have looked up if Earl Boen was still with us.

I'll add my comment from the other post here too.

Naveen Andrews is doing a great job with Khan sounding very charismatic.

Not to throw shade at Andrews, but I do kind of wish maybe they got Earl Boen who can do a very good sound alike to Ricardo Montalban. Boen filled in for Montalban as Señor Senior Sr. in Kim Possible, and sounded really spot on.

But if we ever see Khan on screen again, I think Andrews would be great casting.

I also did the unthinkable, I'm listening to this podcast at 1x speed. Because I wanted to really be immersed in the story telling. I usually listen to podcasts at 1.5x or 2x, whichever allows me to consume the content quicker while understanding it.

It'll be intersting to see what hell comes from this that will inform Khan's revenge for Kirk in Wrath of Khan.

I think we should. Any reason to talk more about Star Trek lore is great in my book.

I remember there was a Simpson's joke where Chief Wiggums said something like, "You called the wrong number, this is 912." But most people outside of America probably won't know that 911 is the emergency hotline in the USA.

I personally am looking forward to the inevitable crossover episode with Strange New Worlds.

That's going to be so dope. Probably very pricy too, since license Lego products are expensive and the tariffs I've heard have even effect Lego prices.

Some of the deaths in Orb just leave you with...well now what? Everyone is dead, how can the plot possibly continue? And then it does... So I think this is exactly what OP is looking for.

  1. Yeah. They waste at least 2 days trying to get Ortega back when maybe they should have just accepted the calculated loss. They even risked the Enterprise in a very dangerous maneuver to force open the wormhole. All around it is a bad call from Pike, but it's pretty on brand for Starfleet Captains to put an individual over the needs of the many. It's why Vulcan captains probably suck.

  1. I think this can easily be handwaved away since the scenario is artificial in the first place.
  2. Odds are it'll take a few days or possible weeks of travel to rondevu with the Constellation.

To be fair, if you look at her quarters, she does tinker with things a lot. So it's not exactly out of left field that she might have the mechanical knowledge to tinker up some jury rigged devices.

I really love the english dub. I feel like the 2 robot bro's voices fit their character better then their Japanese VA's.
