That is the funniest thing I have ever read on Wikipedia.--Jpwrunyan (talk) 06:08, 22 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Not everything that seems silly to us is silly to those from past decades. Take it in context with the time the show was made. Some expert at the time probably thought this was a serious risk.Mr. ATOZ (talk) 16:24, 23 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

It is worth noting here that this concern was validated in 1997 when 685 Japanese viewers were hospitalized after their brains reacted to flashing TV imagery in a broadcast titled, "Dennō Senshi Porygon".

Also worth noting is an important historical context; this episode occurred at the height of criticism of medical lobotomization: a literal "Dagger of the Mind". Inclusion of this information on the page might well represent the period-relevant socio-political commentary which was often produced in TOS. Mr. Science (talk) 14:30, 27 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have just modified one external link on Dagger of the Mind. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20080506092546/http://www.cbs.com/classics/star_trek/video/video.php?cid=619493214&pid=rF_k_4prTzgecN9Ls0oDiKbRjOAfQ_8f&play=true&cc=0 to http://www.cbs.com/classics/star_trek/video/video.php?cid=619493214&pid=rF_k_4prTzgecN9Ls0oDiKbRjOAfQ_8f&play=true&cc=0
