CDR Wesley : Have you heard of the M-5 multitronic unit? Mr. Spock : The most ambitious computer complex ever created. Its purpose is to correlate all computer activity aboard a starship, to provide the ultimate in vessel operation and control.
STAR TREK was addressing automation. Artificial Intelligence was over the horizon when Dr Draystom boarded the enterprise to put his computor in charge. The computor malfunctioning takes out a freighter then takes on another starship. A fleet is sent to take down the Enterprise.
Will Kirk wrest control of the ship away from this machine which is seemingly invincible? How can human control be reasserted?
There are shades of the angst of the Uboat commander's lament in THE ENEMY BENEATH: They've taken MAN out of war.
In this episode, Mr Spock delivers the last word: Mr. Spock: P... Computers make excellent and efficient servants; but I have no wish to serve under them. ...
