* KissMeImVirtual: Just what was Kirk doing with the construct of Ruth while the crew were relaxing on the planet before the end of the episode?



* MsFanservice: Yeoman Barrows' princess dress shows a level of decolletage that is usually reserved for [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green-skinned space babes]]. She fills out her standard duty uniform quite nicely as well; this gets ripped as much as could possibly be allowed on broadcast television and remains so for the duration of the episode. The main reason she switched to the princess dress, in point of fact, was it was currently far more modest than her damaged uniform. The result is a one-off female character likely to leave quite an impression in the minds of many viewers.

An indeterminate amount of time later, we're back on the bridge, where Spock asks if everyone had a good time. They confirm they did, and everyone [[EverybodyLaughsEnding has a good chuckle]] as they recall their experiences, and ''Enterprise'' flies off to her next adventure.

* StandardHollywoodStrafingProcedure: While on a planet where anything you think of becomes real, a crewman thinks about a fighter plane on a strafing run, and one appears and attacks him by strafing him. Later on, the plane appears again and strafes Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.

* {{Workaholic}}: Kirk has overworked himself so much that he almost forgets the stardate when dictating his log. As Spock points out, he is definitely in need of some R&R.

Added DiffLines:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Enterprise is shown orbiting the planet in a clockwise pattern (with the planet at the ship's starboard side). In every other episode, the Enterprise's orbit is counter-clockwise, to the point where showing the Enterprise flipping from counter-clockwise to clockwise is how the effects team shows Kirk and his landing party first arriving in Mirror Universe in [[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror "Mirror Mirror"]].

* AscendedExtra / TheBusCameBack: This is the only TV episode to feature Tonia Barrows. She does, however, show up in the novels ''Provenance of Shadows'' and ''Elusive Salvation'', being romantically involved with [=McCoy=] twice and eventually marrying him.

Added DiffLines:

* AllPartOfTheShow: [=McCoy=]'s apparently-lethal lancing and Angela's seemingly-fatal death by strafing bullets ultimately turn out to be this. The planet's technology prohibits anyone from being hurt, but the immersion needs to be complete for the visitors, so it's as realistic as possible without actually killing anyone.


Added DiffLines:

* EverybodyLives: Though [=McCoy=] and Angela seem to die, it turns out that their injuries are AllPartOfTheShow. They're completely healthy at the episode's end, and as a result, no one--not even a single RedShirt--perishes in this episode. The Black Knight ''is'' taken down with a few bullets, but since he's a non-living machine generated by the planet, he's an exception.

Kirk wants answers from the Finnegan-construct, but he only has battle within him, and gives it to Kirk tenfold. They finally have a knockdown, drag out and [[LyingInTheDirtTogether neither of them really seems to have the upper hand,]] until [[WoundedGazelleGambit Finnegan fakes]] [[ICantFeelMyLegs a back injury,]] flipping Kirk over onto his back and knocking him out.

* [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan Get A Hold of Yourself Woman]]: Kirk has to remind Barrows that they can't afford the distraction of open grief right now. Perhaps because she's a woman, he shakes her by the shoulders rather than hitting her.

* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: After Kirk has been refusing leave for half the episode, Spock informs him of "a crewman" who refuses to rest despite showing signs of extreme fatigue. Kirk declares that this is unacceptable and the man will take leave on his orders, and asks Spock the man's name -- it is, of course, James Kirk.

An old man steps out from behind the hedges, wearing a somewhat impish grin. He reveals himself as the "Caretaker" of the planet, a member of a very intelligent race, and explains to the captain and everyone else that that the planet is used as an [[PleasurePlanet "amusement park"]] by his people and assures them that everything they've seen and experienced has been completely harmless. At this point [=McCoy=] steps out, [[ALadyOnEachArm complete with two befeathered showgirls]] (much to Barrows' annoyance), and it can be assumed that Angela is all fine as well. [=McCoy=] explains that the facilities down there are quite impressive, and they can [[MagicFromTechnology "build or do anything."]]

Back near the glade, [=McCoy=] and Barrows are walking together; Barrows expresses the belief that in a place like this, a girl should be dressed as a [[PrincessClassic fairy-tale princess...]] Lo and behold, what should appear but a PimpedOutDress and elaborate [[NiceHat hennin hat!]] Barrows understandably expresses apprehension, but [=McCoy=] shrugs and says that the dress is here, so why not try it on? She does so, after admonishing the Doctor not to peek! "My dear girl, I am a doctor. When I peek it's in the line of duty."
