'Space Seed' introduced Khan Noonien Singh (a viperlike Ricardo Montalban) to Trek lore. The trouble begins when Kirk and crew discover a derelict ship and its crew of 70 supermen aboard, all in suspended animation. Led by Khan, these strange people turn out to be the product of genetic experimentation in the 1990s and instigators of a so-called Eugenics War, i.e., the Third World War on Earth often mentioned on various Trek programs. Though displaced from his more violent time and place, Khan quickly overcomes his disorientation and shifts into conqueror mode, rapidly overtaking the Enterprise with the aid of a comely Federation historian who is swooning at his feet. As any Trek fan knows, 'Space Seed' inspired Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, regarded by many as the best of the Trek feature films. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Nietzsche's Superman... and Rich Corinthian Leather!
This episode has become such a classic that I can't withhold the 5-star rating. In the end, it earns its rating because of the well-matched, carefully balanced antagonism between the two main opponents, Khan (the irreplaceable Ricardo Montalban) and Kirk (Shatner, of course). This is a showdown between a genetically-enabled Might Makes Right philosophy and the democratic ideals of the Scientific Enlightenment. Best of all is the fact that the "bad guy" is not superficial or one-dimensional. He says ... Read More

Rating: - Excellent story, strong performances and powerful guest star
It is impossible to review this episode without thinking of the subsequent movie, "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan." I consider Ricardo Montalban to have been the best guest star to appear in the original series and in the sequence of movies extending the series. The Enterprise encounters an old Earth ship slowly making its' way through the stars. They board it and discover that it is a sleeper ship containing a group of people who left Earth in the late twentieth century. The leader of the group spontaneously ... Read More
Rating: - Tribble Ahead
This classic episode first introduces us to the eugenically bred Khan. Here we have another thoughtful episode that prophesizes an issue ('unnatural' selection) that would feature prominently in the headlines today. It is interesting to see Kirk and company portrayed as 'inferiors' (in a narrow sense of the word) for much of the episode. The scene that ends with Khan threatening Kirk is particularly tense and threatening. Ricardo Monteblan is also effective in his scenes as leader and seducer.

Rating: - Well written with good characters
I've watched the entire Star Trek Original Series, and nothing compares to this. The Enterprise finds a sleeper ship, the Botany Bay, drifting in space. The crew beams aboard, and accidentally revives the leader, Kahn Noonien Snigh. His middle and last names are hard to pronounce. So then he comes awake, but is threatened by some rehabilition problem. Kirk breaks Kahn's sleeping chamber, and they take him to sickbay. Meannwhile, the crew beams more people over for treatment. And when the doctor is alone, ... Read More
