* As it looks, there's not even enough room to lie down. How and more importantly why did the people of Gideon keep having kids? Since they look pretty humanoid and TOS claims that "man and woman" are constants across the galaxy, it can be assumed that on Gideon, it still needs two people to create more children. Considering they're sapient and willing to ''kill huge parts of the population'', couldn't they have just done a One-Child-Policy, either as a law or as just them realizing "Huh, it's so crowded, I don't want to bring a child into this"? Even if birth control is forbidden (While killing people isn't), they could just stop doing the deed entirely.

*** That's only the movie version (from what I understand, having never interacted with any version of the story).

* It's a good thing Kirk never thought to try opening the shuttlebay doors or an airlock or something other than look out the windows. Granted, they probably would have programmed in a false "malfunction" to prevent this, but it never even rates a mention.

** The question is less "how" and more "WHERE" did they build it? Enterprise is not small; if the people really are standing shoulder to shoulder on every square inch of the planet (except for a few select "restricted" areas) as is shown, where did they find the real estate for this massive empty replica? [[note]] Maybe a few of them are now standing ON each others' shoulders in some bizarre Trench Coat Gag.[[/note]]

* For that matter, this is clearly a technologically advanced society. Why haven't they colonized other planets? Not only would it give them more room and ease the overpopulation on their homeworld, but with all the mysterious illnesses various RedShirts succumbed to throughout the franchise, surely they would have come by one naturally ''that'' way.
