Okay, so, as I'm sure many people know, Trekmovie.Com has confirmed what has been long-suspected: the very talented Benedict Cumberbatch will be playing a version of Khan in Abrams Trek 2. (LINK)

So, it occured to me that The Powers That Be in charge of the Trek franchise may have asked Cryptic to delay a Khan-themed Featured Episode to avoid what studio suits like to call "marketing confusion".

Since, as of this writing, the Khan factor in Abrams Trek 2 is still ostensibly secret, I imagine Cryptic was also warned against revealing why the "Children of Khan" Featured Episode has been de-scheduled.

I'm just guessing here, of course, but it doesn't seem like an impossible sequence of events.

While I don't hate Abrams Trek, and I take it for what it is, personally I would've preferred to play "Children of Khan" in STO, and to see a different villain in Abrams Trek 2. I think if the alt-Trek series is to have any real staying power, it needs to start breaking new story ground.

But hey, that's just my opinion,

Cheers,

KOS
