“Space Seed”
“Space Seed” The Enterprise encounters an ancient Earth ship whose crew is in cryostasis. Once thawed, Khan and his crew, genetically enhanced humans who once tyrannized Earth, try to take over the Enterprise with the help of the historian Lt. Marla McGiver who is fascinated by Khan’s charisma. When the takeover has failed, Kirk drops Khan and his people on an uninhabited planet. summary by Ex-Astris-Scientia
Wow! Definitely one of my favourites. Another example of how super-human powers can and will de-humanize a person. Khan is an amazing example of this. I liked his relationship with Kirk almost from the start, though I thought Kirk was a little too cautious. Then again, it turned out that he was right. Well, good for him. Again.
The female officer who fell for Khan to the point of betraying her Starfleet ideals was what put me off slightly. It was simply unbelievable. Then again, everybody have their ups and downs, don’t they? All in all, I really liked the episode.
