I think in one of the prequel comics to that movie,it’s revealed that Khan was surgically altered so that he wouldn’t have been recognised and to keep his cover as “ John Harrison “.
My issue is the whole "John Harrison" thing. No reason for the misdirection.
But that was a weird fad during the mid-2000s/early 2010s when studios were scared to offend POCs by making them villains. That’s why “The Mandarin” is a white in IRON MAN 3 and why Liam Neeson played an Arab in BATMAN BEGINS. It’s still white washing, despite good intentions.
Thankfully we got the real Mandarin in SHANG CHI, which I thought they did a good job with. Like hey guys, it’s okay to cast POC as villains. After all, actors LOVE playing the bad guys.
I actually applaud them for trying to keep the plot secret.I actually saw the film pretty spoiler free so didn’t know for sure if Harrison was Khan.I had my suspicions but didn’t know for sure until I saw the film.
In the context of the film it makes sense in universe.If you are going to wake up a world famous dictator from the 20th century,you would want to change his identity and appearance so he doesn’t get red flagged by the likes of facial recognition systems we have even today.This was a black operation run by Section 31,so they didn’t want the rest of Starfleet finding out.
Interesting I waa debating whether to buy Season 4 as its no longer available on Netflix UK. It is on Pluto TV though not on demand and I missed too many episides to randomly jump in on the show.
I am not a big fan of Discovery though I stubbornly keep watching Trek hoping it improves.
LOWER DECKS episode “wej Duj” is already up there for me. That’s been the most satisfying Trek show of the modern era.
You can avoid Discovery.It’s just woke garbage.And Lower Decks is just a silly cartoon parody of the franchise.
Yes I enjoyed that one, I think Lower Decks has done quite a few good episodes in fact.
This is simply false. If you watch it, it’s extremely apparent that it’s by people who deeply love Star Trek. The only people that don’t like it are humorless people like Robert Meyer Burnett who treat Star Trek like it’s some religion that needs to be taken super seriously. I highly recommend giving a few episodes a watch.
The problem with "Yesteryear" is that it stands so many miles above even the second-best episode of TAS that it feels like it came in from a different show.
Agreed the other episodes don't stand out, in fact I forget them until I have re watched the Boxset I have.
Burnham being captain solved a lot of issues. Way too much in earlier seasons she would be insubordinate with her superiors which got grating. Nobody seemed to know how to make her a typical maverick protagonist that we always get in Trek and balance that with her being under someone else’s command.
The original idea of focusing on a lieutenant as the main character was pretty novel for Trek, but these writers never quite pulled it off. Might as well just go back to basics. Funnily, the writers on LOWER DECKS have done a much better job by making Mariner that typical maverick but playing it on a different note where it doesn’t always work out and she has to be humbled.

I don’t know the new director but I’d have been up for Justin Lin returning, I thought he did a great job on Beyond.
Picard I tried and I Thought it was a confusing mess. I tire of these remakes that jettison the dna of the original thing that inspired them.
Hard drinking swearing etc. I’m not prudish. It just felt off in the star trek universe to me.
The series did start very well I am curious where it is going.
