From IMDB: A policeman is recovering from brain surgery. His surgeon was a renowned neuroscientist who has died and his IQ has mysteriously increased. He visits the surgeon's laboratory and recognizes the room and equipment. Visiting the doctor's home, he encounters his widow, who is suspicious that he knows so much about the house and the doctor's work.

This episode excels on all levels. The introduction by Truman Bradley is fascinating, the story is brilliant, the cast is talented, and the direction is skillful. It's one of the purest science fiction stories in the entire series.

The story is so well crafted that the twenty-five minute episode seems much longer, because the plot is so rich with intriguing ideas.

Veteran actor John Howard does a great job as an injured police officer who wakes up from a comma and discovered that his I.Q. has increased from 119 to 173!

The doctor who operated on him and removed the bullet in his brain passed away while John was in a comma. But John knows things about the doctor's research into ways that could increase human intelligence.

The story is complex and highly imaginative.

I highly recommend it, and I hope you guys will watch it. After doing so, please post a few comments . Very Happy
