* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Kirk leaves two security officers on the planet when he beams up. He later intends to beam down two different officers, and then beam up the two on the planet. After beaming the officers off the ship, he attempts to beam the officers on the planet back onto the ship. It's when they can't that they realise that they are no longer orbiting the planet, and they have accidentally beamed two officers into space to their death. Kirk then goes to the bridge and the rest of the episode focuses on him trying to regain control. When he finally does, he orders the ship to a starbase so he can dump the kids. No mention is given of the officers who are left on the planet. Unless Kirk goes to pick them up later, he seems to have forgotten all about them and just abandoned them!
