Talk:Return to Tomorrow

Untitled
How is Henloch able to be in the ship's computers and still be in Spock's body? Dontcha mean Thalassa went into the computers while Henloch stayed in the body? Tetigit 16:31, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

origin of the name Sargon ?
Was this supposed to be a reference to Sargon of Akkad? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zerothis (talk • contribs) 22:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * either him or Sargon II, the Assyrian one 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:FD4A:1F7E:1320:8059 (talk) 13:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

spelling of characters' names
Isn't the proper spelling "Henoch"?

Meaning of the title?
What does the title "Return to tomorrow" refer to? In this episode there is no time travel involved.80.141.161.220 (talk) 15:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)


 * One assumes it represents the cyclical nature of history -- that the aliens are both part of the past and yet very futuristic. They had a devastating war half a million years ago, after seeding the galaxy with their brand of humanoid life.   Now the Federation is "re-living" that as it sends ships on exploration missions.   The Enterprise is visiting yesterday and tomorrow simultaneously.   Also, the jealousies that lead to conflict are shown to be universal.  Chesspride 66.19.84.2 (talk) 02:34, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Plot detail
I disagree with the disclaimer:

I think the level of detail is fine. HowardMorland (talk) 02:51, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

a "big and frustrating plot hole" is Sargon's dismissal of the idea that Starfleet might build them android bodies
The hole is not so much their dismissal of human made robot bodies as an alternative; Sargon explains that their robot tech is infinitely more advanced (in fact, it is rather lacking in a basic way, but that's a whole nother plot hole); the real plot hole is that human made robot bodies (which the crew offers to them; they haven't forgotten about continuity in this instance, contrary to the claim in the main text) would be perfectly adequate as temporary vessel for the purpose of making the ultimate Sargon tech based bodies.

BTW I notice that a lot of episodes here feature these almost-but-not-quite-correct comments made by this UMD academic. 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:FD4A:1F7E:1320:8059 (talk) 13:14, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
