Rosalind Lear appears to be hiding some kind of alternative motivation for investigating into Khan and Ceti Alpha
I didn’t find this surprising in the sense that she’s seemed…biased, to say the least. But the scene with Tuvok was nice, even though in the moment I was wondering if it was Lear or Delmonda that was meant to be the liar. Context suggests it’s her, though.
The song the young augments were listening to was Your Touch released in 2021.
Interesting. I wonder if it’s a favourite of Kirsten Beyer or something - I’m a little surprised that they went to the effort of clearing a pop song of any kind.
Khan’s odd mercy towards him
I see it as a means to an end - looking like he’s living up to his end of the bargain with Delmonda. A dangerous game to be playing, though.
the inevitable loss of McGiven’s to the Ceti Eel.
I know this is consistent with the film, but part of me wishes she had met her demise more directly as a result of some choice that Khan made, if only to reinforce just how foolish she had been to join his little cult in the first place.

What I REALLY thought would happen is that Khan would be losing control of the situation and implant the Ceti Eel in McGiven’s as a way to control her. Super messed up and dark, not as dramatic and evil going with a hot spring being populated by Ceti Eels. But you know, sometimes the universe is just uncaring.
And clearly they want to make Khan more sympathetic. So it’s not a bad decision and is clearly offering interesting character growth for him. I imagine in the next few episodes we’ll start to see him swing back to the tyrant we know he is.
