- GoofsWhen the landing party reaches The Controller's room, Kara inflicts pain with the belts that had been placed on them earlier. McCoy drops the device that controls Spock's body, and Kirk painfully reaches for it. When the camera angle changes, Spock's body is not wearing a pain belt. When the angle changes again, Spock is once again wearing a belt.
- Quotes
Kara: Brain and brain! What is *brain*? It is Controller, is it not?
Dr. McCoy: Yes. Yes, in a way, it is. The human brain controls the individual's functions.
Captain James T. Kirk: [with dawning realization] Bones... Scotty... Spock's... brain... controls.

Featured review
My brain hurt's...........
OK, so it's not the greatest of the original trek's, & for what it's worth i don't think that "City on the edge of forever" is either, but it's not as bad as some would have you believe! Synopsis: female organ-snatchers filch yer fave science officer's cranial organ. Crewmates, well Kirk & McCoy really, go on "great quest" to re-unite said missing mind with original owner.
Ummm, thats about it...
Bearing in mind this is a 3rd season episode, AKA Fred Freiberger's death-knell, it could have been worse. Yes there is some eye candy. Yes, there is something for De Kelly to do other than pronounce another death.
Deep meaning: No, not really.
Deus Ex machina: not so much..........
Cheerful resolution: for Spock, yes. For Fred, go watch The way to Eden...
Mindless fun(sorry, i'm so, so sorry): well, yeah.
It's camp, Technicolour & entertaining. Not every hole can be a goal. But at least it's not too insulting. That's to follow in later episodes!
