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.
