The augment get theres

5.5

By dregj, Oct 29, 2011

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 (4)
ADD TRIVIA
- Mission Date: May 27, 2154
  EDIT SHARE
- 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 SHARE
- 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 SHARE
- Nitpick: Although it is scientifically plausible for Archer to survive the vacuum of space momentarily, some of his capilaries should have burst.

QUOTES (4)
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 SHARE
- 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 SHARE
- 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 SHARE
- Soong: How long can we sustain Warp 5?
  Trip: As long as the Captain wants it. Or until we blow up, whichever comes first.

NOTES (1)
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.

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.
