Taking this episode's side in all fairness there are legions of original series Star Trek stories way worse than this, for some reason there's been a kind of social media pile-in on poor Spock's Brain and it doesn't deserve all of it!
This is an episode from the wonders of the starry cosmos for little children. And viewed as such no harm in being so, and it has a lot - actually quite thoughtful on science and exploration, as indeed on whether a body can exist separately from a mind, and on declining, pampered civilisations clinging to former sophistication - going for it.
Perhaps the actors had just been told about some more cuts in the Star Trek Season Three budget, I will admit that....
But plot-wise and ideas-wise, wallops possibly a good third of all TOS Star Treks out of the ballpark.
