* SciFiWritersHave/NoSenseOfDistance: An asteroid is a couple of months from intersecting the planet. The ''Enterprise'' could cover that distance in a few moments at standard warp speed, not the prolonged engine-destroying journey depicted.

"loath" is the adjective, "loathe" is the verb


When Kirk leaves the obelisk, he meets Miramanee and her handmaiden, who are convinced that he's here to fulfill the prophecy. After doing some CPR on a half drowned boy, Kirk is made medicine man. While the medicine man's badge has the unfortunate appearance of an L on the forehead, the former medicine man, Salish, is loathe to part with it. He's even more loathe to part with Miramanee, who, as the chief's daughter, must marry the medicine man. ([[Film/{{Avatar}} Sound familiar?]]) Salish hasn't been this upset [[CryingIndian since he saw someone littering!]] How long will Kirk's happiness as "Kirok" last?

* CaptainsLog: Since Kirk is missing and amnesiac, Spock gives the opening narration. Later on, the amnesiac Kirk does some voiceover narrations, which are essentially Captain's Log entries in all but name.

The obelisk was opened by the sound of the communicator being opened, this is stated in the episode. It is not opened by saying Kirk to Enterprise


Our Heroes observe a Native camp from a distance. Spock observes that they do not only appear Native American, they ''are'' Native American. A blend of Delaware, Navajo and Mohican to be precise. Kirk admires the people, briefly contemplates what it would be like to be one of them, then goes about his way to save them all from the incoming asteroid. Unfortunately, Kirk just happens to stand on a secret passage outside the obelisk, just happens to say the secret password "Kirk to ''Enterprise''" and just happens to fall through and vanish without a trace. Bones wants to look for the missing Captain, but Spock explains to him, using rocks as puppets, why they must hurry and destroy the asteroid.

* DiscoTech: potentially world-destroying asteroid is held at bay by a repulsive field that is controlled through the use of music, or saying the [[SongsInTheKeyOfLock correct sequence of consonants and vowels]] that just happens to sound like "Kirk to ''Enterprise.''"

added to What Happened To The Mouse


* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: The Enterprise was so crippled it took months just to return to the planet at about the same speed as the asteroid (so only a few thousand miles per hour). Scott said she couldn't be repaired outside of a space dock -- so how did they ever reach one? It's ''thousands'' of times further from one star to the next than it is from an outer planet to an inner one.
