1
00:00:01.501 --> 00:00:03.294
Mr. Tarka, welcome aboard.

2
00:00:03.294 --> 00:00:06.089
[Narrator] It takes a great
mind to navigate the science

3
00:00:06.089 --> 00:00:07.674
and technology of the future.

4
00:00:07.674 --> 00:00:09.467
I've studied
your work extensively.

5
00:00:09.467 --> 00:00:11.803
So much to admire.
And improve upon.

6
00:00:11.803 --> 00:00:14.097
[Narrator] Ruon Tarka
is one such mind

7
00:00:14.097 --> 00:00:16.516
among the many
doctors, engineers,

8
00:00:16.516 --> 00:00:19.185
and scientists in
Star Trek's history.

9
00:00:19.185 --> 00:00:20.979
You want to create a device

10
00:00:20.979 --> 00:00:24.065
that will generate a
wormhole on Discovery?

11
00:00:24.065 --> 00:00:25.817
[Narrator] Like those
who have come before him,

12
00:00:25.817 --> 00:00:29.112
"There is no great genius
without some touch of madness,"

13
00:00:29.404 --> 00:00:31.281
as Aristotle once put it.

14
00:00:32.115 --> 00:00:33.533
Oh, come on!

15
00:00:33.533 --> 00:00:35.744
[Narrator] Here are just a
few of the brilliant brains

16
00:00:35.744 --> 00:00:38.246
in Star Trek, who've
shown us just how thin

17
00:00:38.246 --> 00:00:39.664
the line can be

18
00:00:39.831 --> 00:00:42.042
between intelligence and insanity.

19
00:00:46.421 --> 00:00:49.674
Dr. Ira Graves,
cybernetecist.

20
00:00:49.674 --> 00:00:51.134
Before I die,

21
00:00:51.134 --> 00:00:55.180
I plan to transfer my great
intellect into this machine.

22
00:00:55.180 --> 00:00:56.264
Ira.

23
00:00:56.264 --> 00:00:57.223
It is me.

24
00:00:57.223 --> 00:00:58.892
I deactivated Data

25
00:00:58.892 --> 00:01:01.436
and transferred
my mind into his frame.

26
00:01:01.436 --> 00:01:02.979
They won't let you
get away with it.

27
00:01:02.979 --> 00:01:06.107
It is my body now. It
is out of their hands.

28
00:01:06.107 --> 00:01:09.569
Professor Gideon Seyetik,
terraformer.

29
00:01:09.569 --> 00:01:11.196
My son and I
visited Blue Horizon

30
00:01:11.196 --> 00:01:12.489
on the way to Deep Space Nine.

31
00:01:12.489 --> 00:01:14.365
I must say, I was impressed.

32
00:01:14.365 --> 00:01:16.826
Of course you were,
I created the place

33
00:01:16.826 --> 00:01:18.161
and even I am impressed.

34
00:01:18.161 --> 00:01:19.370
Commander, when all this is over,

35
00:01:19.370 --> 00:01:21.498
you'll find a case among
my personal belongings.

36
00:01:21.498 --> 00:01:23.208
There's something in
there I want you to find.

37
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:24.292
What is it?

38
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.253
My obituary. [chuckles]

39
00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:30.173
[Narrator] Dr. Tristan Adams,
psychologist.

40
00:01:30.173 --> 00:01:33.176
Dr. Adams,
what did he do to us?

41
00:01:33.176 --> 00:01:36.096
He can reshape
any mind he chooses.

42
00:01:36.471 --> 00:01:40.016
He used it to
erase our memories.

43
00:01:40.892 --> 00:01:43.019
Put his own thoughts there.

44
00:01:43.019 --> 00:01:46.481
[Narrator] Dr. Kila Marr,
xenologist.

45
00:01:46.481 --> 00:01:48.900
My son died
on Omicron Theta.

46
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:50.485
That is the reason
I've become an expert

47
00:01:50.485 --> 00:01:51.986
on the crystalline entity.

48
00:01:51.986 --> 00:01:54.781
And if I learn you have
been helping that thing

49
00:01:54.781 --> 00:01:56.032
in any way whatsoever,

50
00:01:56.032 --> 00:02:00.120
I will see to it that you are
disassembled piece by piece.

51
00:02:00.328 --> 00:02:02.664
Sulan, Chief Surgeon.

52
00:02:02.664 --> 00:02:05.708
For generations my people have
been searching the quadrant

53
00:02:05.708 --> 00:02:08.753
for a species
immune to our disease

54
00:02:08.753 --> 00:02:11.047
in the hope that it
would lead us to a cure.

55
00:02:11.047 --> 00:02:15.176
And how will you know that?

56
00:02:15.176 --> 00:02:16.845
I have infected you.

57
00:02:16.845 --> 00:02:18.721
[Klingon B'Elanna snarls]

58
00:02:18.721 --> 00:02:22.851
Dr. Paul Manheim,
time and gravity theorist.

59
00:02:22.851 --> 00:02:24.394
Paul's always been
interested in time.

60
00:02:24.394 --> 00:02:25.311
He came to believe

61
00:02:25.311 --> 00:02:28.356
that we reside in one
of infinite dimensions.

62
00:02:28.356 --> 00:02:31.484
And what holds us here
is the constancy of time.

63
00:02:32.026 --> 00:02:33.278
Change that,
and it would be

64
00:02:33.278 --> 00:02:34.487
what he called

65
00:02:34.487 --> 00:02:36.948
opening the window to
those other dimensions.

66
00:02:36.948 --> 00:02:38.992
But as he saw
his goal getting closer,

67
00:02:38.992 --> 00:02:40.910
he became more
and more obsessive.

68
00:02:40.910 --> 00:02:42.495
It's changing again.

69
00:02:42.495 --> 00:02:43.538
What do you see?

70
00:02:43.913 --> 00:02:46.416
I have touched
another dimension.

71
00:02:46.416 --> 00:02:48.293
[Narrator] All the Soongs,

72
00:02:48.293 --> 00:02:50.837
from Arik to Altan.

73
00:02:50.837 --> 00:02:53.840
I take it my face looks
familiar. Must be disturbing.

74
00:02:54.632 --> 00:02:55.842
I know it is for me.

75
00:02:56.467 --> 00:03:00.471
Dr. Altan Inigo Soong,
mad scientist.

76
00:03:00.471 --> 00:03:01.598
[Narrator] Suffice to say,

77
00:03:01.598 --> 00:03:03.141
these eccentric geniuses

78
00:03:03.141 --> 00:03:05.602
give new and
unusual meaning

79
00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:08.354
to the phrase,
knowledge is power.

80
00:03:08.354 --> 00:03:11.858
Yell back at me!
What are you afraid of? Do it!

81
00:03:11.858 --> 00:03:14.736
[Saru yells]

82
00:03:14.736 --> 00:03:16.821
Well. That was something.
