In 1968, [[NBC]] wanted to cancel ''Star Trek'' after two seasons, but the cult fanbase organized a [[Sending Stuff to Save the Show|letter-writing campaign]] to save the show for a third season. They succeeded and ''Trek''{{'}}s third season began with an episode no one would forget. This it it. The [[Narm]]. The [[Plot Hole|Plot Holes]]. This is that episode. This is "'''Spock's Brain'''", widely considered the worst ''Star Trek'' episode ever made. [[So Bad It's Good|Or perhaps the best.]] Yeah, instead of getting an "[[Star Trek: The Original Series/Recap/S2/E26 Assignment: Earth|Assignment: Earth]]" series, we got ''this''.
Line 36:
* [[Brain In a Jar]]: [[Title Drop|Spock's Brain]].
* [[Fainting]]: McCoy, when he used the Teacher.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: A possible case, in that the Eymorg are said to "give pain and delight" to the Morg. We get to see the pain on a '60s TV show, but not the delight...
* [[Handy Remote Control]]: Bones has a box that he can use to guide Spock's body, even without [[Title Drop|Spock's Brain]] present.
* [[Idiot Plot]]: As described above, in detail.
