What if: The Infinite Vulcan

[Srelex]

For those of you who haven't watched TAS, I would recommend The Infinite Vulcan as a starting point to sink yourself into the sheer drugged-upness of the whole series. You will learn that William Shatner can give talking sentient plants tight embraces.

Anyway, in this particular episode, a 50-foot clone of a Eugenics Wars scientist wishes to bring peace to the galaxy with an army of giant clone Spocks. Let us presume he does indeed succeed in creating an appreciable force of giant Spocks and the ability to transport them. How would they fare in an attempted conquest of the TOS-era galaxy? How would the Trek timeline be changed if such an attempt was made?

If those clones are anything like the real Spock, I doubt they'd help him and would try to apprehend the scientist.

[Patrick Degan]

Indeed. Dr. Keniculus-5's entire experiment fell apart after the Spock clone mindmelded with the original, to restore his life, and absorbed the remainder of Spock's memories and reasoning faculties in the process. He saw the Keniculus plan as a violation of the entire Vulcan concept of IDIC, as Kirk challenged him to reconcile, and he would have nothing to do with galactic conquest.

Maybe it would bring the Romulans in the Federation, by making the Romulans laugh so hard at such an attempt (two words: orbital bombardament. That assuming the madman can find enough spaceships to move them) and having the Federation stop them from laughing themselves to death.

Giants make huge targets and all get their faces shot off by dudes with phasers.
