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.
