YMMV / Star Trek S1 E8 "Miri"

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Before Bones injects himself with the vaccine, he and Spock argue briefly about trying it without the computer testing. Spock only barely puts up a fight before giving up. Spock says that bickering is pointless and leaves the room. Does Spock not want to waste the time and energy in a pointless argument? Or is he tacitly giving Bones the opportunity to test the vaccine on himself?
• Memetic Mutation: Spock's description of the cure that McCoy's working on potentially being "a beaker full of death," due to the Narm Charm generated by the line.
• Narm: Kirk's "No Blah Blah Blah" line.
  • "Bonk! Bonk bonk on the head!"
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The discovery of a planet identical to Earth on the other end of the galaxy is completely forgotten about after the first act, when it probably could have supported a whole story arc if the show hadn't been made in the era of absolute Status Quo Is God.
• Values Dissonance: It fits into his usual pragmatic manipulation, but Kirk still plays it up with a thirteen year old-looking Miri when she has a crush on him.
• The Woobie: Miri when she cries and begs Kirk and the others not to hurt her.
