Episode 3.1: Spock's Brain

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

Where to begin?

This is often reviled as the worst episode of Star Trek ever made. And yeah, it's bad, but it's only bad because the plot is stupid and the dialogue is silly and the acting is hammy and there are painfully sexist attitudes in it. Honestly, there are worse things in some of the other episodes. At least this one is so silly you can laugh at it.

Transcript

2
McCoy: Jim, Spock's brain is gone!
Kirk: What?
McCoy: But... he's alive!
Kirk: What what??
3
Kirk: How long can he live like that?
McCoy: No idea. But we gotta save Spock's brain in 24 hours or he'll die!
Kirk: Allons-y!
McCoy: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 47 seconds...

Morg: Woman and woman? What is woman?
Kirk: Aha! It is up to me to teach their women to love!

McCoy: R.C. Spock!
Kirk: Amazing! His entire voluntary nervous system controlled... how?

Kirk: Bones?
