If M5 had been programmed by Microsoft, it might have told Kirk "it looks like you're trying to start a war with the Klingons; would you like some help?"
7/10 mot great
6/10
9/10. Enterprise, Lexington, Yorktown, Hood, Potemkin all were names of World War 2 warships.
6/10. I'm embarrassed to post my score being an avid fan. I'm being dismissed from Star Fleet Academy. This was one of the best episodes.
6/10, good episode.
7/10

just don't call him 'Herbert'.
(L.O.L. 😅🤣😂) NEVER. 🖖🖖🖖
We'll call him Hal.
Missed the freighter and the poor guy that got zapped.
It's just a TV episode but all things being equal, supercomputer control not withstanding you would think that four Starships would have put up a little more of a fight once the Enterprise went berserk.

Well, the Enterprise did get the jump on them.
8 of 10 tonight
7/10
I also missed question #4, in addition to #10.
8/10. I keep getting the quotes wrong. Dr. Daystrom totally lost it but I did like his deep voice.
KJ, do you remember Kirk uttering that line about "Genius doesn't work on an assembly line basis." I don't and I've seen or listened to that episode 400 times. It may have been edited out by the time I started watching as a teenager, when the series first went into syndication.
It didn't ring a bell with me, but I don't always remember the quotes. There's someone on the internet that posts scripts from each show. I'll check it out. You could be right about it being edited out, though.
It's sounds like something Kirk may have said in the turbolift elevator scenes, or perhaps in Kirk's quarters when McCoy is consoling him after the "Captain Dunsel" comment.
I checked out the script and Kirk gives the quote when he and McCoy are discussing Daystrom's genius while they are in Kirk's quarters. This is after they have discovered that there is seemingly no way to turn the M-5 unit off.
We responded at the same time. I did find out when Kirk makes that quote. See my other response to you.
Ah yes. Then I was right. Though I still don't remember hearing it.
8/10. 508/530. I don't remember the line mentioned in question #10.
Neither do I. For some reason I don't remember half of the quotations they use.
10/10. Terrific episode. Guest star William Marshall is commanding as the brilliant but on the verge of insanity Dr. Daystrom.
The remastered version does a splendid job of replacing stock footage of the vessel Botany Bay from "Space Seed" for the Woden ore freighter with a original design. Just one of the fantastic benefits of having Trek remastered so wonderfully.

Amen to that.
9 for 10
7/10 Guessing game.
8/10. Look what I've done! So quit laughing at the boy genius!
I am great. You are great.
Hey, I got 6/10 today! Not fantastic, but better than yesterday, so now you can tell people that you know me. Lol 😄😉
What's amazing is that we'll decide who to associate with based on answers to a Star Trek quiz!
😂 I was referring to your comment on my last quiz where I got a score of 1/10. 😄😉 I'm doing better on these...for now. Can't say what score I'll get on today's quiz.🤔
7/10
Good episode.
Good episode.
9/10 I guessed 'underqualified' on #3. A couple of lucky guesses (#4 and #10).
8/10. Missed 6 & 8.
