Khan!!! Before he was screaming in The Wrath of Khan, Ricardo Montalbán’s genetically enhanced supervillain made his first appearance in Star Trek: The Original Series episode Space Seed. This week on Federation Friday, John, Marty, and Debi dive into this legendary episode, where Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew awaken a 20th-century tyrant with a superiority complex and a killer physique.
We break down Khan’s charm, Kirk’s tactical blunders, and whether or not McCoy was secretly the toughest guy in the room. Plus, we discuss how this episode laid the groundwork for one of the greatest sequels in sci-fi history.
Listen in as we explore Space Seed—where the only thing more dangerous than Khan’s intellect is his ability to steal the show.
