Famously, just before Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) screams “KHAAANN!” in The Wrath of Khan, the titular wrathful character recounts his basic reason for his hatred of Kirk. Khan rasps that Kirk and the Enterprise left him and the other criminals from the S.S. Botany Bay “marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet...buried alive!” But was there ever a chance of rescue? Was there ever another way off of Ceti Alpha V? In “The Good of All,” Episode 6 of the new audio podcast drama Star Trek: Khan, the cliffhanger ending teases that, at one point, there was a way off this dreaded planet.
Spoilers ahead.
