Psychological Projection

Added DiffLines:

* PsychologicalProjection: Lazarus A accuses Lazarus B of having the dire qualities that A himself has.

None


* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Spock declares the planet they are orbiting has a "oxygen-hydrogen atmosphere". This is extremely unlikely, as oxygen and hydrogen are highly reactive and react rather violently with each other, producing water. Specifically, this is the strongest chemical reaction per weight unit we know about, and we use it in rockets like the Space Shuttle to get satellites and other equipment into space. Very likely Spock wanted to say "oxygen-nitrogen" instead, describing an atmosphere like the one we currently enjoy on earth.

Swiss-Cheese Security

Added DiffLines:

* SwissCheeseSecurity: Lazarus gives the Enterprise security team the slip several times, allowing him [[spoiler: (both of him)]] to steal the dilithium crystals from Engineering and put his plot into motion.

Owning in this case is not correct, could be a typo for owing, but it reads more smoothly now


* LargeHam: Lazarus makes Kirk look subtle. It doesn't help that the actor (Creator/RobertBrown, later from ''Here Come the Brides'') was a last-minute hire, owning to the original actor, Creator/JohnDrewBarrymore, failing to show up for work the day filming was to begin.

There is iron-silica and iron-silicon, but no iron-silican- in this case it should be iron-silica


Opening shot: a lovely view of Spock's back. Just as he's giving his survey analysis of the uninhabited iron-silican planet the ''Enterprise'' is orbiting, everything rocks violently and we get a double exposure image of a nebula. Yeah, get used to this effect, you'll be seeing it a lot. Make a DrinkingGame of it if you wanna get hammered. Once everything stops shaking, they realize that the planet is no longer quite so uninhabited.
