How to Prepare for the Future

The Star Trek episode referenced here is, of course, “Spock’s Brain”, where aliens steal . . . wait for it . . . Spock’s brain. They use it as the processor for the computer that controls their entire society. I love that episode. It’s terrible. There’s so much to mock in it, including the single line of Star Trek dialog that Missy and I quote most often.

“Brain and brain! What is brain?!”

My favorite thing is that until they can find Spock’s brain, McCoy rigs up a doohickey so he can drive Spock’s brainless body around like a remote-controlled car. You know Bones had some fun with that before he showed anyone else, making Spock do the Hokey Pokey and that sort of thing. Or maybe he just forced Spock’s body to say, “You are right, doctor,” over and over again.
