Yet another layer to TWOK

The hated the title as well, but the movie did project a potential future... without Spock. Students eventually taking over the Enterprise some day, Saavik being introduced as some sort of successor. Kirk's son and lady may have a future on the ship; by the end it present it. I didn't like the title for the sixth film either but oh well.

 

Wait, isn't "Spock's brain" mentioned in the 113th Sonnet?​

 

Sonnet 47

Betwixt mine eye and heart, a brain is took

(With apologies to the Bard )

 

I'm sure this is in a book somewhere about the making of Star Trek, but people have to remember that sci-fi on TV was not seen as a serious genre back then, suitable only for kids. Making references to classic literature could have been dog whistles to the snobs in the audience to tell them that the people making the show were not just doing Captain Video.

 

I believe it's called Spontaneous Planet Explosion

 

Can you Shakepeare-ize "Brain and brain! What is brain?"

 

Somebody should rewrite Spock's brain in iambic pentameter and take it on the road.

 

According to this site, it's authentic:

Oh, wow! Great site! How about that, then. Yeah, there you go. It's the real deal.
