The TWOK Augments did look like they came from an '80s New Wave group from Sweden.

Botany Bay Bop was a smash hit with the genetically engineered kids.

 

[cooleddie74]

That's the name of Khan's game...

"These people rocked, danced and partied hard and even died at my command 200 years before you were born!!"

Sounds fatiguing.

 

[cooleddie74]

Those pecs weren't going to grease up themselves.

I'm wondering if La'an is actually playing an east Asian character but then I realized she may well be as there's several generations removed from Khan who was supposed to be Indian Sikh (even though neither actor who played him was of Indian ethnicity)

Was he?

SCOTT: This one was probably programmed to be triggered first.
KIRK: Could he be the leader? The leader. Lieutenant?
MARLA: (dragging herself back from just gazing at the man) Yes, sir. The leader was often set to revive first. This would allow him to decide whether the conditions warranted revival of the others.
MCCOY: Heart beat now approaching forty per minute. The respiration pattern is firming up.
MARLA: From the northern India area, I'd guess. Probably a Sikh. They were the most fantastic warriors.
MCCOY: Heart beat now fifty two and increasing.
KIRK: The others?
SCOTT: There's no change, and they're mixed types. Western, mid-European, Latin, Oriental.

Racial profiling.

She saw a brown guy and took a guess.

There's a word for that.

"Historian".

 

[Nerys Myk]

"Historian".

Yeah, she probably shouldn't quit her day job. Wait, that was her day job!

 

[Guy Gardener]

She did quit her day job.

The choice was career girl or wife, and she picked wife.

Queen.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Queen.

There's two ways of thinking about her job as the mother of a nation...

1. They only reproduce via test tube, so the king is not going to show her his scepter.
2. They reproduce sexually, but her genetics are inferior, and no one wants to have sex with Marla, because her babies will be small, dumb and weak.

Not sure it matters. She's Khan's wife.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Not sure it matters. She's Khan's wife.

The Nietzscheans on Andromeda were polygamous, so Gene probably assumed the Superman were also polygamous but the 1960s audience weren't ready for that.

Khan probably already had wives, and he was probably planning on taking more wives to spread his superior seed as far and often as possible.

Although Khan and Marla were into some weird racist roleplay...

Well not looking at animation and just live action. It had a 10 year rest and than with TMP went with just gaps between movies for 8 years and than 18 years straight of tv shows AND movies. 2005 to 2009 was the only significant rest since 1969-1979..

I know many think the current tv shows are somehow a resurgence of Trek but it really never was down. Four years is not really that long a rest.

I dont know maybe because I'm older now and our perception of time changes the older we get. So 4 years does not feel like a long time as it may have felt when I was 18 to 22 for example...lol...

Except I AM including animation. TAS was a very popular series.

Why don't they redo the animation?

Make it watchable.

The one issue with La'an is how did Spock and Uhura forget they served with a Khan family member in "Space Seed."​

Or that name is as common as Smith in the future?

That would make for a fun twist. Turns out the name actually is just a coincidence.

Well I don't. I like the animated series but it was rarely shown in reruns when I was a kid. Maybe twice. I dont think I even saw more than 1 episode until I was an adult. I think of animated shows as something seperate from live action.
