History YMMV / StarTrekTheEugenicsWars

* AcceptableReligiousTargets: One of the supermen founds a new age cult that's waiting for TheMothership to stop by and beam them up. Nobody takes him seriously. He's even used as a guinea pig when [[spoiler: Khan develops his biological weapon to make sure that they're immune to it]] after his cult commits mass suicide.

* LikeRealityUnlessNoted: Khan and the first generation of augments was conceived and born circa 1969-1970. The text [[ShownTheirWork shows its work]] when referring to real life science techniques such as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), Restriction Enzymes, gene splicing, and sequencing in relation to Project Chrysalis. In reality, the first time scientists were able to read the genetic code was in 1977 with the development of Sanger Sequencing. PCR (a method of making Xerox copies of DNA) was developed in 1983, and restriction enzymes (used to create recombinant DNA) were actually discovered in 1970 with the first recombinant DNA created in 1972. Although the general technique of gel electrophoresis (a method for molecular analysis and separation using electrocurrent) has been around since the 1930s, it was first used on DNA in 1977. It has always been plausible in the ''Star Trek'' universe that many scientific methods actually exist earlier than publicly known due to the commonplace of ImportedAlienPhlebotinum and [[ETGaveUsWiFi E.T. giving us Wi-Fi]].

* ContinuityLockOut: With its focus on continuity fixes and many references to Trek lore, it's an intimidating read for newcomers. Even the basic story of the trilogy won't make sense unless you've seen "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed Space Seed]]", "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E26AssignmentEarth Assignment: Earth]]", and ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''.

* PlotHole: Cox does an admirable job turning the Eugenics Wars into a secret war veiled by the real events of the 1990s. But this raises the question of how the ''Enterprise'' crew knows about these events centuries later. Most of the world governments weren't even aware of the true threat that Khan represented, so who told people what really happened and made it so public that by the 23rd Century it's common knowledge?
* StrawFeminist: Chen Tejun to ridiculous extremes.

* CompleteMonster: Khan by the end. No pity, no remorse, just him, his goals and whoever is in between.
