5. Ivan kills Hugo

Khan decides to spare Hugo for the moment after the Augment openly and publicly speaks out against their leader earlier in the episode. Khan thinks it’s best for the group to stay strong, so he gives Hugo a choice: stay or leave the group forever. However, Khan's first lieutenant, Ivan, has different ideas.

In the final moments of the log entry's flashback, Hugo and Ivan’s seemingly harmless talk on a cliff turns into murder. Ivan overpowers Hugo and tosses him off to his death! That’s a literal cliffhanger for the first episode.

All the podcast's episodes contain similar must-see moments which prove the show could be adapted into a great live-action tale featuring the same talented actors. However, just filming “Paradise” alone would make Khan one of the best Trek shows ever!
