Bogmeister’s scathing review of this infamous episode says it all! It’s literally a “brainless” idea for a story!

Spock's Brain - episode #61

Here I am writing about Spock's Brain again.

"Spock's brain? Brain and brain! What is brain?!"

It's unfortunate that this episode may have been the introduction for many viewers to the Star Trek series (it was the first broadcast of the 3rd season).

What a difference a new season makes! Like The Trouble With Tribbles, this is one of the most familiar episodes, but for different reasons. Knowledge of Star Trek's cheese factor may have spread from this very point.

I confess I don't really know how things went so wrong with this one. The director is Marc Daniels, who (going by a cursory look at all the episodes) was responsible for many of the better episodes. Gene Coon was a great writer. But the melodramatic elements in this one were just too overwrought.

Yet, it even becomes dull at some points, a double whammy!
