This M5 thing is responsible for a horrendous lose of life. An artificial intelligence. A computer systen that thinks and learns. Hmmm. #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

The M5 replaces humans and needs no security - what could possibly go wrong? #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

"not entirely successful" - one wonders, based on what we'll see the M5 do, what M1-4 actually did #RedFlag #TheUltimateComputer #MeTVStarTrek

Spock had the Enterprise on autopilot all the way to Talos IV, he had Daystrom beat.
Who needs the M5.

This month's (March 2025) TrekBBS art challenge theme was "A Good Day to Die-O-Rama", so i made a diorama about the TOS episode "The Ultimate Computer"
#StarTrek #TOS #TheOriginalSeries #TheUltimateComputer #USSEnterprise #UssLexington #USSExcalibur #SSWoden #starship #diorama
a CGI model of a diorama based on the Star Trek TOS episode "The Ultimate Computer". within a box of starfield print, scale models of the M-5 computer and the USS Enterprise on the left; and four more Constitution class starships and a boxy freighter on the right, are contained. one of the Constitution class has chunks missing and blackened and a red marker placed upon it, to signify it's destruction; the boxy freighter is similarly altered. along the back wall of the box are pencil sketches of Captain Kirk, Dr. Daystrom, and Commodore Wesley, who lead the task group in wargames against the Enterprise.

“Does M5 understand this is only a drill?”

“Of course, he was programmed to understand.”
