Star Trek The Original Series - The Complete Second Season Reviews
Return To Tommorow
Return to Tommorow contains a number of bizarre and difficult twists. The Enterprise mysteriously navigates to an uninhabited world. An evil energy being called Sargon notifies Kirk that the Enterprise has been brought his planet by the "energy of his thoughts". Spock is befuddled, at the fact, no life signs register, on his equipment and makes Sargon seem like does not exist. Spock continues to talk with the non-existent being. Spock says, "not even a Vulcan can know the unknown." No Vulcan communicate with an unknown being! Purely illogical!
Beware of Spocks logic! It is interesting how many times Spock is depicted as the personification of evil, yet the loyal viewers are sensibilities are being constantly betrayed into believing Spock is a upright character. I personally question the moral integrity of Spock.
Kirk learns that Sargon is dead. Sargon tells Kirk that "all of mankind must perish too", if they let Sargon perish. It seems that Kirk is forced to act against his will. Sargon can demonstrate control over the ship computers, and power. This power convinces Spock not to resist Sargons plans and allows an evil influences over Spock.
Spock readily agrees that Sargon is no force to resist. Spock tells Kirk that the surface of the planet is devoid of life and that he has discovered energy readings deep inside the planet, a 112.7 miles through solid rock. Furthermore, Spock conjectures that Sargon is "matter without form". Energy and matter can not exist in the same state. It is either one or the other. All matter has form. Therefore, Spocks conclusions are a lie, an untrue and ridiculous conclusion. Spock misleds Kirk into trusting Sargon. Spock attempts to mystifies Sargon into a incorporeal being of immense power.
Sargon must tell his story, a story of fallen grace. Sargon boasts that 6,000 centuries ago Sargon's race colonized the planet and suddenly an ultimate crisis emerged, "our minds became so powerful, we dare think of ourselves as Gods."
Isaiah parallels Lucifer fall, a son of the Morning, an angel, who thought to ascend to the level of the Gods. The evil one had Aspirations of self-grandeur and forced inclusion into the membership in the council of Gods; his following was cast out; and the rebellious deception led 1/3 of the host from grace.
Sargon for half a million years remained without a body along with his followers. Sargon tells Kirk that those choose too survived were the best minds. Sargon tells that landing crew that their race planted space children and the half million-year wait was required for their children evolved, explored space, and find them. Therefore, Sargon considered himself their father calling the Enterprise members "his children". Why should the Enterprise believe Sargon's claim was true? There was not evidence to believe Sargon claims were true.
Sargon takes possession of Kirks body, imprisoning Kirks mind inside the energy sphere. The transfer could only be temporary and it was dangerous enough that Kirk almost died twice. Kirk says, "I know what he wants and I don't fear him". Kirk should have never freely agreed to the transfer. A morally superior being would have let the Enterprise depart. Instead, Sargon forces Kirk, Spock, and Ann Mulhall into an manipulate transfer agreement. Kirk and particular Spock are baited into believing that Sargon will provide vast transfers of knowledge allowing humanity to advance 10,000 years, saying things like, "risk is our business". Sargon and Felicia complete their transfer and Sargon says, "I had forgotten what it felt like even to breath".
Almost as soon as transfer is completed then evil motives surfaces and Henoch plots to keep the bodies. Henoch alters the metabolic formula for Sargon believing he and Kirk would die and not be able to be transferred back into the sphere. The plot seemingly works: Sargon appears to have died, McCoy puts Kirks body on life support, Henoch destroys Spocks sphere, Sargon transfers to the Enterprise, Henoch dies, Spock is transfer from Ms Chapel back into his body, and Sargon and Felicia disappear into oblivion. Sargon offered humanity nothing. Sargon was cast out into darkeness where there is no light.
Sargon transfer Spock energy into Ms Chapel and they shared consciousness. Spock technically should have made Ms Chapel his wife according the rituals of the Pan Farr. A technical oversight or misleading deception avoided by Spock, who preferred to marry a Vulcan betrothed wife. Ms Chapel should have been the wife of Spock by Vulcan law, thanks to Sargon. Now that logic Spock should have followed.
Cool series
An epic sci-fi phenomenon began in 1966 when the first season of "Star Trek" began to broadcast on U.S. televisions. Created by the legendary writer Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), the series was intended to run for five years detailing the missions of the mammoth starship known as the U.S.S. Enterprise, which was only one of several starships that were part of the United Federation of Planets' Starfleet. Unfortunately, the series was prematurely cancelled after only three complete seasons in spite of efforts of Gene Roddenberry, letter-writing campaigns conducted by fans to keep the show alive and 5 Emmy Award nominations. Ironically, it was only six weeks after the final third-season episode was broadcast (6/3/1969) that astronauts Neil Armstrong and 'Buzz' Aldrin became the first human beings to ever set foot on an extraterrestrial world, Earth's moon, on 7/20/1969. Then, instead of being forgotten after cancellation, in syndication, "Star Trek" began to rise in popularity in the early 1970's to such an extent that Paramount Pictures began toying with the idea of resurrecting the show. Instead, following the extremely successful 1977 sci-fi blockbuster film "Star Wars" (written and directed by George Lucas), Paramount Pictures did resurrect the show in the form of several big-screen films beginning in 1979. With a new generation being introduced to the fantastic universe created by Gene Roddenberry, more "Star Trek" television series were created. In total, there have been six "Star Trek" television series (5 live-action, 1 animated) and ten big-screen films; but all of them owe their thanks not only to Gene Roddenberry, but to the original "Star Trek" series cast and the many fans that kept the original show in syndication long after it was cancelled.
