2. The glory of Ceti Alpha V
The closest fans have gotten to "seeing" Ceti Alpha V in its prime was in the comic book mini-series, Star Trek: Khan — Ruling in Hell (2010-2011). In live-action, we’d all have the opportunity to see this world and how vibrant and full of life it was.
Audio descriptions can’t quite do it justice, and there’s a smart touch in how Khan Noonien Singh surveyed the land during the podcast to find the right places for housing, farming, et cetera. Those moments would translate into beautiful landscapes, courtesy of set designs and special effects, and the vivid storytelling would prove Khan was more than just a military commander or dictator.
The FX guys could have a ball adding some special touches to a real location, emphasizing it’s still an alien world. Seeing Ceti Alpha V live up to its title of a paradise will make the knowledge of its inevitable ruin more powerful and will help explain much of Khan’s mindset.
