Still Not Sure What to Write Here Now

How to Prepare for the Future
The Star Trek episode referenced here is, of course, “Spock’s Brain”, where aliens steal . . . wait for it . . . Spock’s brain. They use it as the processor for the computer that controls their entire society. I love that episode. It’s terrible. There’s so much to mock in it, including the single line of Star Trek dialog that Missy and I quote most often.
“Brain and brain! What is brain?!”
My favorite thing is that until they can find Spock’s brain, McCoy rigs up a doohickey so he can drive Spock’s brainless body around like a remote-controlled car. You know Bones had some fun with that before he showed anyone else, making Spock do the Hokey Pokey and that sort of thing. Or maybe he just forced Spock’s body to say, “You are right, doctor,” over and over again.

How to Address an Ongoing Argument
Of course, the problem with the stun setting is that whoever you stun falls down, and could easily break a bone, suffer serious neck or back injuries, receive a concussion, or “accidentally” die in any number of ways.
I figure the Starfleet equivalent of Internal Affairs would be bugging Kirk on a weekly basis.
Starfleet Inquisitor: I’m here to talk about that Klingon you killed.
Kirk: I stunned him.
Starfleet Inquisitor: In the back, and then he fell three hundred feet.
Kirk: It’s not my fault he was standing on the edge of a cliff.
Starfleet Inquisitor: We have reason to believe you stunned him, then dragged him to the cliff and rolled him off.
Kirk: (stuns the Starfleet Inquisitor.)
