** Spock mentions that "one of [his] ancestors married a human female", which seems an odd way of putting it in retrospect, since it was established only an episode or two later that it was his father and mother.

** Spock punches Gary while trying to restrain him rather than using the Nerve Pinch.



* NoodleIncident: After Gary Mitchell is zapped by the mysterious energy field on the edge of the galaxy and sent to sick bay, Kirk visits him, where they share this exchange: [[note]] No further references to the incident, the girl, or just what Gary meant when he said "nova" (or [[{{Squick}} after-effects]], for that matter) are made. Later on in the scene, Gary admits to having secretly set Kirk up with "a little blonde lab assistant," and "planning her whole campaign." Shocked, Kirk declares he almost married that woman. Though certain revelations from Star Trek movies have led to speculation that this blonde was Carol Marcus, nothing is ever concluded.[[/note]]
--->'''Gary:''' Hello Jim! Hey, you look worried.\\
'''Kirk:''' I've been worried about you ever since that night on Deneb IV.\\
'''Gary:''' (laughs) Yeah, she was nova that one. Not nearly as many after-effects this time...



* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: PlayedStraight with the psychic Gary Mitchell, in a case of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. Even before Gary has actually done anything threatening, Kirk and Spock are ready to kill him because he ''might'' be a serious threat if his powers keep growing.



* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Mitchell is referred to as having extra-sensory ''perception'', when his abilities clearly go well beyond merely "perceiving" things.
