A couple of people wanted a central place to discuss these episodes, so here it is!
Future threads will go up on the day of the release.
If you’re not normally a podcast person, the series is available on YouTube.
I’m refreshing myself on Khan story and am watching Space Seed. And I see Lt. McGivers identifies Khan as a Sikh. I knew that Khan and company rules over India during the Eugenics Wars, but for some reason I always thought since the augments were multiracial, I just assumed they got Ricardo Montalban, a Mexican actor, because when they’re combining genes to make the perfect human they just kind of go with whatever’s on hand.
It not makes me think that Andrews is even better casting choice now.
Not to throw shade at Montalban, because I love Ricardo Montalban. He’s got so much charisma. But I do think it makes sense to have a Sikh character played by an Indian actor.
In contrast, Benedict Cumberbatch is another fantastic actor, but literally made no sense why they casted him as Khan.
