Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, ). On an objective level, everything about this episode is pretty much universally crap (except for the music which is great as always, and for my irrationally beloved Star Trek design (mini-skirted guest stars are back after a curiously long absence)). But it's still loads more entertaining than your average season two episode.  I mean, come on, they stole Spock's brain. So awesome.
