Spock's Brain contains one of my favorite exchanges:
McCoy: He's worse than dead!
Kirk: Well, what is it, Bones?! What's they mystery?
McCoy: His brain has been stolen!
DeForrest Kelley probably thought it was relief to not say "He's dead, Jim". There used to be a video on Youtube that cataloged on the instances of McCoy saying "He's dead" or "This man is dead" or whatever, ending with that particular exchange. Always thought it was hilarious.
As for ST:TMP, it's a good movie, it's just really long and moves really slowly.
