Everyone who thinks "Spock's Brain" is a stupid episode should watch this.
I had no recollection of this episode when it started. Which is odd because I've watched them each more times than I care to admit. It became clear very early why this was erased from my concious. It's rather silly from the beginning to the conclusion. The idea of Jack the Ripper being an alien lifeform wandering around the universe wasn't even awful. But Star Trek never did well with horror episodes. They were always more laughable than frightening and I doubt that's just because of the times there were made in. It was also very clear you killed all the women about 10 minutes afterwards as the guy was constantly trying to make Scotty a scapegoat.
The end were Kirk beams the guy into space was surprisingly brutal, though.
