So these women are ''so desperate'' for companionship that they're willing to be traded via conman to horribly desolate planets to men who will only care if they're on beauty drugs? This seems like such a shitty plan for everyone but Mudd. | (First watched 2009-01-02) So these women are ''so desperate'' for companionship that they're willing to be traded via conman to horribly desolate planets to men who will only care if they're on beauty drugs?

The pill seems pretty shitty, too. It seemed to give more color to their face and erase some wrinkles, but nothing so drastic as they seemed to act like it did. This was sort of hit on when the placebo pill seemed to have nearly the same effect at the end of the episode. | The pill seems pretty shitty, too.

(First watched 2009-01-05) What a weird episode. | |||
So these people had been missing five years, already had two attempts made to find out what happened to them... and the Enterprise is being sent ''now'''? I hope it was just on their way; such a mission seems a bit of a waste of time under normal circumstances. | |||
I can understand why reprogramming a person to lose certain emotion is a Bad Thing, but they seemed awfully opposed to the idea of androidization at all. Korby seemed to be himself pretty well, at least until the out-of-nowhere freakout at the end where he said he'd prove his humanity by solving equations. Sure he was acting differently than they expected, but it wasn't due to the sort of changes he was talking about. He never suggested removing compassion from people. | |||
So the moral of the story is... it's better to die than to use heavy prosthetics? If your android starts to feel emotions, you better disintegrate it? If someone won't kiss you, kill them? | |||
Also, Kirk's plan to expose the android is crazy. One, that such a thing ''should'' work. If it's going to copy his entire brain, the sentence that he's saying at the time of transfer shouldn't have much impact. Two, that it ''did'' work. Three, that Kirk came up with the plan immediately. | |||
Also Lurch. | |||
