I agree. Spock is a badass. Remember the show where him and Kirk were on the
planet run by Mobsters and Spock made a radio from old tubes and components
so they could talk to the Enterprise?

Heck, Spock did way better than that in another episode, where Bones
went bezerk and jumped into a time portal and Spock and Kirk jumped in
after to save him, and they ended up in a 1920's rescue mission though
at different times. The mission was headed by some hottie woman.

Joan Collins.

When she was the hottest of the hot.

Spock
proceeded to build a "time viewer" out of tubes/valves from money
earned at the mission, to determine when all 3 would meet up
time-wise; while Kirk -- that famed pan-galactic loverboy -- kept the
hottie busy socially.

I think he actually fell for her. Hard. She should have been part
of the dream world that Picard had to pull Kirk away from in that
one Star Trek movie; that would have made sense.

And not only did Spock's viewer accurately
locate Bones in the space-time continuum and when all 3 would meet up,
but it also foretold the ultimate demise of Kirk's new heart throb. I
still feel, if Spock had simply clipped a 20 foot piece of wire to his
time viewer, he could have easily picked up the BBC.

Spock WAS using his tricorder as a base; but I agree, it was
a masterful demonstration of scientific acumen.

Spock was trying to make the first mnemonic memory circuit using "stone
knives and bear skins". The episode is called 'City on the Edge of
Forever', written by Harlan Ellison. It's regarded by many as the best
one of the original series.

It's my favorite of the originals.
I think that was the episode I first heard the word mneumonics as
well.
