Fairly entertaining episode despite the familiarity of the story which has a plot which has been oft repeated in this series with slight variations – essentially it goes like this: There's an alien brain (which a guest star scientist wants to bring on board Seaview to study); the scientist gets taken over (as does the Captain) the alien brain wants to conquer and rule the world but needs energy from the Seaview's atomic reactor so starts drawing power from it. The Admiral builds a sonic weapon to protect himself and others from the telepathic influence of the alien and decides to overload the brain with energy by pulling out the reactor rods and risking melt-down. Of course the brain is ejected from Seaview and destroyed just in the nick of time – sounds familiar?. Actually, quite watchable though .... The voice of 'The Brain' is that of Dick Tufeld – who also provided the voice of the Robot in 'Lost In Space'.
