The Star Trek episode: Measure of a Man was a very interesting episode. This entire series can connect to our class definition of science fiction because it includes a robot, Data, space travel, and many technological advancements that are not yet available in our world.
The episode we watched did not really connect to the concept of the Frankenstein Complex because there was no fear of anything created by man. They are all fascinated by and really like Data the robot, who was wanted for testing. The only prominent fear in this episode of Star Trek came from the humans who were scared that Data was going to be tested on, or Data who was afraid he was going to be tested on. The only way I can see this episode of Star Trek connecting to the Frankenstein Complex is through the fear the main commander had for what may be created by the other commander. He was afraid he would build thousands of Datas just so they could be our slaves.
Overall, I really enjoyed this episode of Star Trek. It was really fun to watch, as always, and was very interesting. However, I did not see the clear connection between the episode and the Frankenstein Complex
