The episode is conflicted
the augments kill each other
there creator turns on them
the klingons turn on every one
and archer ,as always, has one hell
of a fight on his hands.
soong finally realises the error of his ways
the augments are finally destroyed and peace is restored
the action is good as is the plot
the only objection is the moral stance througth out the trilogy
there seems to be a predjudical theme througth out the eps
and other trek series
that simply improving humans will doom them to
a life of megalomania and genocide.
this is never discussed in a balanced manner
the augments are esentailly human
some humans are good ,some bad ,some indifferent
to portray them all in an unflatering light is
my diffinition of racism
maybe if earth wasnt so reactionary
or scared they would have surrendered
if the augments had seen the light before they were all
neatly wiped out what would earth have done with them?
locked them up as they still do in ds9 200 years later.
(maybe not smike but then he didnt have super powers)
I sided with the augments from the get go
and the cod moralising of this hypocritical human society
only reinforced this

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Mission Date: May 27, 2154 Edit
- Trivia: Finally conceding that perfecting humanity through genetic engineering is impossible, Soong decides to pursue cybernetics, and says that the work will likely take multiple generations. This is a tie-in to Soong's 24th Century descendant, Dr. Noonien Soong, who eventually created, among others, Data. Edit
- Trivia: When mentioned by Malik, Soong dismisses the Botany Bay - the ship carrying Khan Noonien Singh and his fellow augments - as a myth. In fact, the ship would later be discovered, and its passengers revived, by the Enterprise (NCC-1701) crew in The Original Series episode "Space Seed". Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Klach D'Kel Brakt, Soong's intended hiding place for the Augments, is first mentioned in the Deep Space 9 episode "Blood Oath", as the site of a decisive battle where Klingon forces led by Kor defeated the Romulans. It is also the site for the movie Star Trek: Insurrection. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Soong: (to T'Pol) Sorry about that business with the Orions. Hope you weren't permanently injured. Trip: Why don't you stay focused on what you're doing? Soong: Someone's a little protective of Commander T'Pol. Trip: I just don't like you very much. Edit
- Soong: The port inducer assembly's been damaged. Go to engineering and repair it. Malik: I'm not an engineer. Soong: You're a bright boy, Malik. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Edit
- Trip: (to T'Pol) Come on. It's not like we would have made an ideal couple. A Vulcan and a Human? Romeo and Juliet probably stood a better chance. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Trip: Romeo and Juliet probably stood a better chance. Romeo and Juliet were lovers in the Shakespearean tragedy of the same title. They were forbidden to be together by their feuding families, and eventually both comitted suicide. Edit
