IMHO, there is no such thing as 'bad' Trek....some of them are just better than others.

Two words: Spock's. Brain.

Two words: Spock's. Brain.

To this day, when I want to sum up how bad Star Trek was, I say:
"Brain and brain! What is BRAIN?!?!?"
(One of the more horrible lines from that episode.)

I like neither Star Wars nor Star Trek.

For a good laugh, go with Red Dwarf
For a great message of Individual vs State, go with Firefly/Serenity

LOL! Certainly not the most stellar episode, but I'll still watch it over some of the more 'popular' TV shows today.

Why does everyone hate “Spock’s Brain”? I thought it was a cool episode. I’ll admit I couldn’t figure out how his brain would “fit” into that rectangular black box. Seems like they would have to squeeze it in. I loved McCoy’s face when he’s getting the knowledge from the “teacher” helmet. One of DeForest Kelley’s best performances. “A CHILD could do it!” It was nice of McCoy to replace the top of Spock’s head after putting the brain back in and neatly comb his hair, too.
