"Spock's Brain"

I couldn't resist buying this brain shaped eraser yesterday in a dollar shop.
Wonder if I should go on a quest trying to illustrate all Star Trek episode titles. They often had very poetic names, it may be fun to come up with a different interpretation!

For those not in the know, "Spock's Brain" is considered the worst or at least one of the worst Star Trek episodes ever. In it a woman steals Spock's brain without harming him in any other way, and they go into search for it. Spock tags along, being moved around with a remote control. All poor Leonard Nimoy had to do in this episode was walk or stand around with an empty stoned face. In the end they put the brain back in, and Spock is actually conscious and helping by telling McCoy which wires to connect. As I said, awful stuff.

Seaking of bad brain jokes...

Doesn't sound like the best episode ever, no... I can imagine someone being interested in Spock's brain, but try to make the "a person without the brain still lives" part seem probable, that's hard, if not impossible, even in sf.

But your brain (again, an eraser! Do they make them in any shape?) looks very nice in Spock's hands.

I'm definitely going to need an explanation each time, but it sounds like a great idea :)

That would be cool actually!

I vaguely remember this episode having only seen it once and I don't feel as if I missed much not remembering it lol.

At least Spock looks appropriately worried!
