[edit] Worst episode ever?

"Spock's Brain is considered by some to be the worst episode of the original series of Star Trek." - Where is evidence for this? I would say this is POV without a reliable reference (i.e. not someone's blog) and I recommend it gets deleted until a reference comes along. --JohnLynch

Live in a cave?  :-) It should say "considered by many".
" This is often nominated by fans as the worst TOS episode ever. This episode is a nominee for the DITL "Worst of Trek" award."
"For most people this is the worst of all TOS episodes"
"Possibly the dumbest episode in the entire Trek canon"
  • TREK NAVIGATOR - The Ultimate Guide to the Entire Trek Saga by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross (1998, Back Bay Books)
"Considered one of the worst episodes ever"

  • Aaah okay, fair enough. Thanks :) And I don't have much to do with "fans." I just watch the show :P --John Lynch 08:47, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I hope you liked it on an ironic level. Although, "Brain and brain. What is brain?" is a line I'm not going to forget. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.16.197 (talk • contribs)

I think I remember from commentary on the Sci-Fi channel that the script to this was originally written as a joke, which ended up going too far. Someone know the whole story? --Paul Soth 05:42, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

So.... considered by three fan created sites to be a poor episode. Is that really citeable? Also, what's noteworthy about the notes in this case? Kirk has a different hair cut, Chekov uses an earpiece etc? Alastairward (talk) 11:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
