    Not as dramatic of an ending as I’d expect. But still a pretty fun listen.

    I wonder is Lear ever tried to meet up with her Noonien Singh relatives?

    I actually feel like La’an really reduces some of the drama of the daughter of Khan trying to find her place and understand where and who she is. She’s not technically all alone because she has estranged family who already understands the prejudice of augments in Star Fleet.

    I feel it is actually fitting for Khan to stay with his people to lead them. This is a noble trait, but it’s also a bit more of an ego thing that does fit his character more than being selfish enough to save himself.

    Elborians dying seems like a cop out. But I guess we need a reason the augments never got rescued, and Delmonda would have definitely sent for help.

    This is a bit of fiction I never thought needed expanding. But it wasn’t so bad. I hope they do some more interesting little side stories or expanded lore on something that might need more exploring. Say what happened to Prime Lorca, or how the events that led to Unification Part 3. You know, something a bit more meaty.

      With Tuvok’s comment about using his position to advocate for augments, I wonder if they’re considering a Tim Russ/Christina Chong spinoff.

      I think I agree with your overall sentiment - not the greatest thing I’ve ever heard, but I’m glad they made it.

      The highlights for me were the semi-rehabilitation of McGivers, and the fleshing out of Khan’s cult followers. And I’m glad they didn’t go down the “Khan wasn’t so bad” road, instead going with, “Khan was a pretty bad guy who maybe could have turned it around under different circumstances,” which…is a pretty Star Trek message, even if it’s not one I was very interested in exploring.
