once again other star trek TOS review, this time Space Seed,
This is another of my 3 favorite episodes of the original TV Series. Ricardo Montalban was incredible in this episode, and delivers one of the best performances of his life. Shatner and Nimoy are also excellent in this episode. what your take ?
 
Certainly one of Trek TOS's best stories. Great performance by Ricardo Montalban as the eugenically bred superman Khan, who'll do anything in his lust for power and conquest -- especially if it means seducing a weak-willed female Starfleet officer.

Although, even back in 1967, years before the word sexism entered the language, I remember my mother watching the episode and remarking about Madlyn Rhue's character, "That girl is such a simp!"

If all the women in Starfleet were as easily swayed by a handsome face as Lt. Marla McGivers and Lt. Carolyn Palamas ("Who Mourns for Adonais?"), Starfleet would be in DEEP SHIT!
