Help, I've turned into a manifestation of mental disorders as viewed through an early 20th century lens sparked by the disparity between man and modern society and I can't get up

Now that I think about it, the "transporter is murder" argument would hold more water if you were only able to transport from one pad to another. In that case you could argue that each transporter pad functions like a 3D printer following complex instructions and using the available biomatter as filament.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Everyone criticizes Spock's Brain, but I legitimately like it. That episode is funnier, in my eyes, than Trouble With Tribbles.

Shatner's weird speech patterns make it priceless. "She took it! What have you done with Spock's brain?"

Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
Spock's Brain is extremely obviously stupid but it isn't boring, everyone involved seems to be having fun. I would say stuff like that and Omega Glory are a definite cut above the real garbage like Children Shall Lead or the loving Lazarus episode.

When the other Ferengi started calling out Demon Tog for giving her the access codes I thought he knew Riker and Troi had escaped but apparently he didn't.

The vegetated Betazoid planet kind of reminds me of the one where Wesley got executed. Not sure why other than the perfectly manicured grass. Or maybe because it's so rare to have outdoor scenes so I associate all of them.

That's because they used the same location for both episodes (along with many, many others).

I'm pretty sure starfleet headquarters, that death planet, and this garden are all the same LA-local garden they film a LOT of poo poo at.
A bit like how all scifi's filmed in Vancouver end up filming at the exact same parks resulting in "planet vancouver"
