The episode of Star Trek that we watched, I Borg, was very interesting. It connected well to our class defininition of science fiction because it involved robots, space travel and is set in a very futuristic time period.
I had a hard time connecting this episode of Star Trek to the Frankenstein Complex. I will say that is was obvious the crew of the starship was afraid of Hugh at first and he is part robot. But I didn't see the Frankenstein Complex because Hugh was not created by someone human. Generally, the Frankenstein Complex is being afraid of something that has been created by humans. However, in this episode, Hugh is not created by a human. We don't even know what he was created by! But he is a borg and naturally the people on board of the starship were afraid of him and tried to find a way to use him to destroy the rest of his kind.
Despite this lack of the Frankenstein Complex, I really liked this episode of Star Trek. It was a little different than all the others and was really interesting and fun to watch. I wish Hugh had stayed on the ship with them!
