Star Trek episode "Space Seed"

"Space Seed"

Season 1, episode 22.

Khan.

The prequel to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Obviously, someone always wondered what the heck happened with Khan's exile after watching this episode.

Khan and his followers are found in suspended animation after 200 years, fleeing from the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s and World War III on Earth (Gotta love that alternate history after the decade has really passed).

The crewman Marla McGivers goes over to Khan's side rather easily--I wish she had more of a story.

It's a little too easy for Khan to take over the ship. Shouldn't Kirk and Spock's command override everything, especially takeover when it doesn't come from the bridge? Doesn't Kirk's voice command have ultimate authority?

And then the whole idea of not punishing Khan and McGivers with jail--rather, they put them on Ceti Alpha V to start a new world. How did that fly?

No wonder somebody always wondered what happened to Khan because that has to be the strangest punishment in Trek history.
