* The rec room from "The Practical Joker" is most likely an experimental prototype of future holodecks. It is established in ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' that holodecks did NOT exist [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E2Flashback during the original series]].

* Although the Standards and Practices applicable to 1970's children's programming would never have permitted outright saying so, the nature of the the weapon found in the stasis box in "The Slaver Weapon", along with a picture of an unknown alien, suggest that the weapon was that of an assassin, and the picture that of the assassin's target. Sulu does suggest that the weapon could have been used by a spy, who would have need for an easily-concealable, versatile, and self-destructing weapon--an assassin or hitman would have similar needs as well.
** Then what was the chunk of meat for? Lunch?
*** Bait for a trap, perhaps. Or a sample of the creature's DNA. Or maybe it ''was'' lunch. The Slavers didn't leave behind a lot of records.

* In "Pirates of Orion", Kirk offers to not report the titular pirates' activities to the Federation (and thus end the fiction of Orion neutrality) if they would hand over the medicine Spock needs. While it is the only option he has at that point to save his friend, it may seem a bit irresponsible considering the danger Orion pirates pose - after all, they left the Huron crew to die, and has probably done the same to a lot more trade vessels. But the fact is, he doesn't actually need to report them - the Huron crew he has rescued will do it once they recover. Orion neutrality is going to get challenged anyway.

* In "Mudd's Passion", a LovePotion-drugged Spock not only declares [[SickeninglySweethearts over-the-top romantic devotion]] to Christine Chapel, but also he begins acting more affectionate towards [[TheNotLoveInterest Kirk]], with whom he already has a bond. Does that drug create relationships...or only bring to light what is there?
* "The Lorelei Signal." Uhura, who in this episode has command of the ship ''(finally)'', eventually decides that she's going to take the women off a planet where they're forced to suck the life force out of men to survive, and put them on a planet where this need will disappear. Except... they've been on this planet for, it's implied, many generations, and have taken in tons of starships to get the life force of their men. This is the first time leaving their planet on such a ship has been proposed? By anyone?
