Yep... but was there ever a villain who wasn't dumb compared to Kirk and Spock? Even genetic superman Khan got his ass kicked promptly by Kirk and Spock once they realized they were in trouble.

Still, even a flawed female authority figure is still an authority figure. One that not only commanded a ship, but was the flag officer of a task force. It was ambitious for 1968.
