"Star Trek" The Changeling (1967)

Nomad The Probe, Kirk The Creator


Season 2, episode 3. The Enterprise has encountered a powerful energy that has wiped out an entire solar system and all inhabitants. It holds the Enterprise and attacks... Kirk opens up communication with it and it agrees to beam aboard the ship. Kirk, McCoy and Spock head to the transporter room to me it. It is a probe that calls itself Nomad. When it hears others call the name Kirk it believes that Kirk is it's creator Roy Kirk. Kirk and Spock work together to find out more about this probe called Nomad. Nomad's programing is to destroy all biological imperfections - meaning all human and humanoid lifeforms. Kirk and crew must find a way to put an end to the highly destructive Nomad, there is one piece of hope since the "perfect" Nomad believes the "imperfect" Kirk is his creator.

Good episode that shows what could happen if thinking robots thinks they are a perfect creation and their imperfect creators must be destroyed. Machine vs Man.

8.5/10
