224: '''The Ultimate Comptuer'''
224: '''The Ultimate Computer'''
 
(First watched 2009-04-02)  Whoa, Daystrom.  I've frequently heard of the Daystrom Institute, but I kinda thought he was someone from even further back in history.  Didn't realize he'd be showing up in TOS like Cochrane did.  Aaand he's [[William Marshall|Blacula]]!
 
For people who work on a highly advanced starship, everyone seems a bit too damn touchy about a further innovation.  Though both sides seem to look at the situation in extremes.  Daystrom: "Nobody needs to go around space anymore!"  Others: "We don't need no stinking computer!"  Really if this thing had worked out it'd be a great supplement, though clearly couldn't take the place of 95% of the people on board as shown here.
 
The M-5 was supposed to be so good that with its better-than-human reflexes, it could really take on three equally equipped ships?
 
Funny at the end how they're talking about the potential/horror of a [[Star Trek: Voyager|computerized doctor]].
