Star Trek!
The first part of Menagerie was very entertaining. Notice how the series represents what is considered technology at the time: Flashing lights and numerous buttons. Futuristic clothes consist of a fitting uniform with either a blue or gold top. What aspects of the Star Trek universe do you find intriguing, when compared with today's standards, or interesting by itself, and why?

Regrets
At the moment I can't think of what to name the title, I'll edit it once I think of something.
Anyways, looking at the novel, Frankenstein, we see that Victor Frankenstein crosses the boundaries of science by bringing an inanimate corpse to life, only to fear the creature he brought to back to life.
Which raises an question that always bugged me: Do scientists regret the decisions they make? For example, the group of researchers who created the atomic bomb, they knew the destructive force the bombs would produce and still worked on it, two of them were dropped on Japan and many lives were lost. After such events, do you think they regretted the creation of such a destructive weapon? Or do they truly believe that what did was right?
