The Final Installment in the Spock’s Scanner Trilogy
The epic saga of What’s in Spock’s Scanner, which began here and continued here, finally wraps up the way we knew it must — with drunken debauchery, attempted drug use, needless violence, and possible date rape. And bollocks. And farting. And someone finally saying something. Look, I know the video is 11 minutes long, but I swear to god the entire thing is worth is just for the transporter noise at 8:23. I still haven’t stopped laughing.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
