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.]] |

It all begins when the ''Enterprise'' encounters an alien spacecraft. Scotty is amazed that they are so advanced as to use ion propulsion, a technology which existed ''at the time the episode was written'' (however, as it's clearly an FTL drive, it's the same as today's [[In Name Only]]). The spacecraft's only occupant beams onto the bridge of the ''Enterprise'' and it turns out to be yet another alien woman who wears [[Stripperiffic]] clothes. The men ([[Les Yay|and Uhura, for some reason]]) stare as the soundtrack swells with romantic music, [[Blatant Lies|as they've clearly never seen a woman like this before]]. As we will learn later on, she is named Kara. But Kara does not come in peace. Using a wrist band, she knocks out everyone on the ship with that "boing" sound effect which [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|Sufficiently Advanced Aliens]] always use. After seeming momentarily interested in Kirk's butt, she walks up to the unconscious Spock and gleefully strokes his cranium. |
