58 years after Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) was introduced in\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series<\/strong>, Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0can and should move on from Khan. All 9 episodes of\u00a0<\/p>\n In his immortal portrayal by Ricardo Montalban, Khan has appeared only twice in\u00a0Star Trek. Khan<\/em>\u00a0was introduced in 1967, in\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series<\/em>\u00a0season 1’s episode, “Space Seed,” and he returned on the big screen in 1982’s\u00a0<\/p>\n Star Trek: Khan<\/em>\u00a0is internally considered official\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>canon. Therefore, the events depicted by the podcast are ‘what really happened’ after Khan (Naveen Andrews), his wife Marla McGivers (Wrenn Schmidt), and his genetically augmented followers were stranded on Ceti Alpha V by Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and the Starship Enterprise.<\/p>\n Star Trek: Khan<\/em>\u00a0carefully set up the events of\u00a0Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,<\/em>\u00a0but the podcast also introduced characters like a brand-new race of alien psychics called the Elboreans. Most importantly,\u00a0<\/p>\n Star Trek: Khan<\/em>\u00a0provides the missing details,\u00a0retcons, and completes the saga of Khan Noonien Singh\u00a0that began in\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/em>and ended with the vengeful supervillain’s death in\u00a0Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan<\/em>. Thus,\u00a0Star Trek: Khan\u00a0<\/em>needs to be the last Khan story.<\/p>\n Thanks to\u00a0Star Trek: Khan,<\/p>\n <\/em>\u00a0the generically engineered tyrant’s story has been told, and\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0can finally move on.\u00a0Star Trek: Khan<\/em>\u00a0was the most in-depth exploration of Khan’s psyche, showing his capacity for love and compassion, yet he continually reverts to his savage base instincts instead of pursuing his better angels.<\/p>\n The most pertinent lingering\u00a0questions about Khan Noonien Singh\u00a0have now been answered by\u00a0Star Trek: Khan<\/em>, and there’s no need to return to the character. Khan is a closed circle, and<\/p>\n It would be a mistake to attempt more Khan stories, like a prequel of Khan ruling and fleeing Earth during the Eugenics Wars. Khan was a glorious villain who received his long-missing middle act in<\/p>\n Star Trek<\/em>‘s fascination with Khan, and his status as\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>‘s greatest villain\u00a0and the ultimate enemy of Captain Kirk, was cemented by Ricardo Montalban’s bombastic, scenery-chewing performance in\u00a0<\/p>\n Khan became the prototype, and most Star Trek movies after Star Trek II were conceived with a villain in Khan’s mold.<\/p>\n Star Trek II\u00a0<\/em>elevated Khan to iconic and legendary status. Undeniably, Ricardo Montalban imbuing Khan with larger-than-life menace permanently changed\u00a0Star Trek,<\/em>\u00a0especially regarding expectations for villains in\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/em>movies. For better or worse, Khan became the prototype, and most\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>movies after\u00a0Star Trek II<\/em>\u00a0were conceived with a villain in Khan’s mold.<\/p>\n Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0movies have shamelessly tried to replicate\u00a0<\/p>\n Although it’s time for\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>to finally move past Khan, his legacy will always be part of\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0movies and TV. TV series like\u00a0Star Trek: Picard\u00a0<\/em>season 3\u00a0created villains like Vadic (Amanda Plummer), who has a motivation for vengeance and a penchant for scenery-chewing, like Khan.<\/p>\n Khan’s legacy is also perpetuated each time\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>tackles the thorny issue of genetic engineering in the United Federation of Planets. Khan is the reason genetic manipulation is banned by the Federation, which impacted the lives of augments like Lt. Commander Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romjin) in\u00a0<\/p>\n Star Trek: Strange New Worlds<\/em>\u00a0introduced Lieutenant La’an Noonien-Singh\u00a0(Christina Chong), a descendant of Khan who lives with the torment of being related to one of the most infamous men who ever lived, despite La’an lacking Khan’s physical traits from her augmented DNA. Khan’s daughter, Kali, is\u00a0<\/p>\n Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0only occasionally deals with the impact Khan left on the Federation, although those episodes, like\u00a0Star Trek: Strange New Worlds<\/p>\n <\/em>‘ “Ad Astra Per Aspera”\u00a0and\u00a0Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/em>‘s “Dr. Bashir, I Presume?” tend to be classics. Still, Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>mostly evades the thorny issue of how the Federation deals with augments, unless it’s to reaffirm\u00a0<\/p>\n There are a handful of existing characters that\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0can use to further explore Khan’s legacy.\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>should also continue to create new villains with different, complex motivations rather than rely on Khan’s blueprint. Nearing 60 years since Khan was introduced in\u00a0<\/p>\n Earlier this year,\u00a0Todd Chrisley<\/p>\n <\/strong>\u00a0received a pardon from the President. However,\u00a0Patricia Altschul<\/strong>\u00a0is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this\u00a0Southern Charm\u00a0star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a \u201cfelon\u201d like Todd.<\/p>\n Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming.\u00a0Their tiny tit for tat\u00a0started after Todd\u2019s release from prison. \u201cDuring the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it\u2019s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,\u201d Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, \u201cWell, there goes the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.<\/p>\n So, recently clapping back via\u00a0Decider, Pat quipped, \u201cHe\u2019s very irrelevant. I said four words\u2014there goes the neighborhood \u2014 and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.\u201d Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t need any more\u00a0felons in Charleston.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd and his wife,\u00a0Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all,\u00a0The Chrisleys: Back to Reality\u00a0stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.<\/p>\n And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward\u00a0her in Charleston.<\/p>\n Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 58 years after Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) was introduced in\u00a0Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek\u00a0can and should move on from Khan.
