On the subject of Star Trek (a *great* show): There is one blunder in the episode "Spock's Brain". In this episode, Spock's brain is "snatched away" from him, leaving his brain-less body behind. Here is the blunder as I remember it: McCoy: "Spock's Vulcan physique enables his body to survive for a long period of time even without the presence of his brain!" [approx. 3 minutes later] McCoy: "Because of Spock's extremely specialized and advanced brain, and the Vulcan physique, Spock's body is very dependent on his brain." [approx. 5 seconds of thought] McCoy: "Spock's body will be dead in 48 hours if we don't find his brain" (he really meant to say 48.00000 hours, or so it seems!) That's all, folks.
