Grab your remote control and get ready for pain and delight as we go looking for "Spock's Brain"!Novelist William Leisner returns to the show this week to discuss an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series that has become emblematic of the low points of TOS. When a lady in go-go boots puts the whammy on the Enterprise, the crew wakes up to find Spock's cranium empty. Now, Kirk must take a cave elevator ride to the center of a cold world ruled by even colder women to rescue the cerebrum of his first officer and friend!The third season of TOS was met with budget cuts, a creative brain drain, and the defection to greener pastures of the show's creator, Gene Roddenberry. But it's perhaps the absence of former showrunner and head writer Gene L. Coon that was the biggest blow to Star Trek's credibility. Coon was a gifted and versatile writer and he knew that Star Trek needed the occasional comedic touch to counteract its often leaden didacticism. Unfortunately, Coon had left the show by the start of Trek's wobbly third season, and his pitch for "Spock's Brain" was developed into an uneven hour of Trek that lacked Coon's gift for both plotting and comedy. On this episode, we talk about the evolution of TV writing and viewership since the '60s, the thin line between pathos and parody, the speed bumps affecting Trek's 3rd year, the shortsightedness of NBC, Trek's most successful comedic entries, a hypothetical (and possibly depressing) 4th season of TOS, and the feat of delivering essential Trek stories even when your hands are tied.We also discuss the Council of the Valley of the Dolls, Maximum Shatner, a gritty Mannix reboot, a lost-and-found box for face parts, not going "full camp", the 10 pm "death slot", a planet of Nixons, the Scottish Faint, "who throws a club?", Spock casual, the De Kelley sweat lip, and "Riker's Brain"!If you can't handle me at my "Spock's Brain", you don't deserve me at my "City on the Edge of Forever"!Follow Bill on Twitter!http://www.twitter.com/BLeisnerLearn the story behind your favorite Trek stories with Backtrekking!http://www.twitter.com/backtrekkingSwap brains with us on Facebook and Twitter and the Just Enough Trope Discord!http://www.facebook.com/eistpodhttp://www.twitter.com/eistpodhttps://discord.gg/UeytGNPBuy us a new civilization on Patreon!http://www.patreon.com/eistpodSubscribe to the show on iTunes!https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/enterprising-individuals/id1113165661?mt=2

This week we're taking a break from SPACE LAW! to bring you an episode with special guest Jesse Balzer of Ruining Trailers (https://bit.ly/2FaeXuU). We dive head first into the infamous "Spock's Brain" and in the end we learn that maybe we were Morg all along. Next week we'll wrap up SPACE LAW! with TNG's "Drumhead."
Thought you were done with us, eh? As a special treat to everyone, we’ve decided to release our patron-only episodes to the whole world! Some of these are quite old, some of the content may be out-of-date, and they’re a bit “looser” than our regular episodes–but we still think you’ll get a kick out of ...
As we kick off a new season of Star Trek, the crew observes some changes to the show. A new color for the title, a new studio running the show, and new costumes that defy all reason and practicality. Our Special Guest, Phat Money, disses DS9 and drops a Babylon Babyl-bomb. Everyone knows this is a historically bad episode of "the Trek", but what you might not know is that it's really Scotty's hair that ruins everything. Philippe gives his hot take on star dates and works to further alienate our audience, but he makes it up to us by capturing Spock's desire to get his brain back with an elegantly composed and highly original melody. Most importantly, our latest obsession is the exciting lawnmower wheel/wax canister that is destined to become the little blue pill of the future. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Squid-bots, squid-probes, and squid-gumbo. Also, Spock's Brain! Check out Glenn and Valerie talking food and drink in Trek this week on The Feast!

Spock's Brain is one of the worst episodes in Star Trek. So we fixed it. We have been bucking the trend lately with redoing horrible Star Trek episodes. Normally, we just punch up mediocre episodes but it's just been so much fun to go after the terrible ones. Spock's Brain definitely falls into the "atrocious" category.This week we take a look at what worked and what didn't with the episode. You'll be surprised with how much we kept though. Listen to find out.
Are They Really That Bad? - Spock's BrainDaniel kicks off his series, focusing on so-called infamous Star Trek episodes. But are they really that bad?The trio begins with The Original Series entry "Spock's Brain." A mix of odd camera angles, a focus on secondary characters, and an episode title that just can't be ignored, this third season opener becomes a mixed bag. But Daniel, Darren, and Phillip discuss whether it deserves the title of worst episode ever.What's your most memorable part about "Spock's Brain?"
With production on the third season of Star Trek fast approaching, newly-hired Executive Producer Fred Freiberger sent a memo to Gene Roddenberry about the status of developing scripts. "Spock's Brain" and "And The Children Shall Lead" are there... and so is "Shore Leave 2." While we're at it, how about room for a couple of Gene Roddenberry scripts too? Doug Drexler joins The Trek Files to talk about Star Trek behind the scenes. See the original document: http://facebook.com/thetrekfiles

20. September 1968: Die dritte Staffel der Urserie hat nicht den besten Ruf; Simon und Sebastian nannten sie schon oft ihren Endgegner. Gleich die erste Episode ist ein pulpiger B-Movie – was charmant sein kann, aber nicht muss. Bringt Spocks Oberstübchen den beiden Podcast-Hirnis „pain“ oder „delight“? In Deutschland: Spocks Gehirn, ausgestrahlt am 4. April 1988.
THE FINAL SEASON of the original series kicks off with a slice of CLASSIC Science Fiction. Spock is missing his brain! The crew of the Enterprise is off to find it, Josh realizes how many people die on Kirk’s ship, and the guys imagine watching this episode on the wall of a bar.

Buckle up boys and girls because we're diving headlong into the worst episodes of Star Trek from each series. We asked absolutely no one's opinion on this and took none of your feedback into consideration when choosing these episodes so you know it's the definitive list! First off we take a long hard look at Spock's Brain - that episode of TOS where child-like underground women steal Spock's brain so they can keep living in a computer world below some cavemen. Yeah. That's a real episode.

Big things happening this time out - and not just that horse. Dave argues that these two issues together make the perfect Morrison DOOM PATROL sampler, as they form a kind of microcosm for the series as a whole. There are Beethoven birds! A Care Bear Stare! Spock's Brain references! Mental cartography! And issue #30 ends in a serious Cliff-hanger. Theme song: The Revelators - "Don't Look at me When I'm Looking at You" You can always write us at anotherkindofdistance@gmail.com, or contact us through our Facebook Page or our Twitter accounts @milescoverdale and @rhodaAF709 We're on all of the podcast delivery services, including iTunes, TuneIn radio and Stitcher, so please rate/review us there, if you can!

This week, Your Independent Star Trek Podcast returns with a look at one of the best "Reset Button" episodes ever. You know, it's one of those episodes where things occur and then everything is taken back to an earlier time and none of the characters remembers anything that actually happened in the episode? It's been used at various times throughout Trek, and this time, it's one of the best uses of the style. We'll consider the episode "Twilight" from the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise and tell you why we love it. In fact, we'll just tell you right up front why you need to watch this episode and what makes it so memorable, no pun intended. Plus, Discovery news, Star Trek Online news, and the 30th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation in this week's episode of Trek Geeks!
