I just showed the "Kirk recreates the arms race" episode to my world history students this week! (Related to a discussion about pop culture and the cold war. Also it's the last week of classes and everything is kind of going to hell anyway.)
But seriously, "Spock's Brain" is fabulous television. It's not good television, but it's fabulous. The pull-down hair dryer that imparts knowledge? The woman shouting "brain brain brain, what is this brain you speak of"? The fact that they managed to get an episode's worth of takes where people say "they stole Spock's brain" with a straight face? It's epic. And horrible.
