#TheBrainofMorbius
What’s Mind-Bending?
Time Lord wrestling. It’s usually a game, but it can end in death lock.
It will Doctor. I, Morbius, do not play games.
Neither do I. Are you ready? En garde, Morbius.

My brain functions perfectly.
I doubt it, Morbius! All that time in the tank, it’s gone soft. Do you dare put it to the test.
What test?
We have all the apparatus here. I challenge you to a mind bending contest.

The Time Lords will not oppose me again, nor the Sisterhood. When it is learnt that I, Morbius, have returned from the grave, my followers will rise in their millions.

Timely intervention by lead guitarist,
"Don't burn him!"
"Then at least leave me his head, I have need of it!"
"At least down to the cervical vertebræ, you can keep the rest."

#TheBrainOfMorbius is next up in the #FeastOfWho
Reads as a re-interpretation of Frankenstein.
Dr. Solon is played well, as debonair host with a stumbling, stunted lab assistant in tow.
However, The Rani are simply superb as trippy, chanting, telekinetic psi-cult.
Their dialogue needs work though.
December 12, 1976 - Daily Mirror - "The Brain of Morbius" gets a one hour omnibus edition airing on this date.

#TheBrainofMorbius is after all, one of the more memorable stories of Classic #DoctorWho. Perhaps the bar was just a tad too high for this to live up to.
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (The post-credit scene saved it)
Is #TheBrainOfMorbius a flawed classic or a bona fide masterpiece? It has some silly elements (*cough* Condo), but the story's Gothic atmosphere, stimulating themes, and strong cast elevate it above a lot of other stories. And there's that "timeless" twist! #DoctorWho
Is the Doctor too trusting of the evil Solon in #TheBrainOfMorbius, even after being drugged? His willingness to believe Solon about Sarah's blindness stretches credulity. #DoctorWho
There's really no debating that Robert Holmes and Philip Hinchcliffe intended the faces in the mind-bending battle to be pre-Hartnell Doctors. Someone was going to do something with it eventually—the Timeless Child is simply what we got. #TheBrainOfMorbius
It's pretty brilliant how #TheBrainOfMorbius delves into thought-provoking themes of mortality, immortality, artificial life extension, and the Doctor's own longevity through regeneration. You might call it cerebral. #DoctorWho
#TheBrainOfMorbius showcases Tom Baker's comedic talents with some great Fourth Doctor one-liners (“You still practice teleportation? How quaint. Now, if you got yourself a decent forklift…”). A great example of the humor that defines his era. #DoctorWho
