We get a little heated on this episode - but not at each other (we're both too dope for that) - at the periphery fandom that completely misunderstands the point of Star Trek. But we also get some great discussion in on this amazing episode and it's ramifications throughout the rest of Trek history!

Jeff marvels at how good this episode actually is while Josh continuously chastises him for ever having doubted him.

Sorry about that last episode, you bunch of fools, but we're bouncing back with an actual discussion where one of us has watched the entire episode and the other is haunted by memories of really awkward forced assault scenes and cringey 'commentary' on what it's like to be a lady.

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. This i...
