** Spock attempting to knock out the Salt Vampire by repeatedly punching it in the face is jarring when, in any other episode, he would simply use the Vulcan nerve pinch. Then again, being an alien shapeshifter, it's questionable if it has nerve bundles susceptible to the pinch, or if Spock would have any idea where they might be.

Also, Spock is not actually trying to subdue the creature, just trying to convince [=McCoy=] that this apparent human who can NoSell getting bashed in the face is not "Nancy".

* HollywoodOld: The "real" Nancy Crater, depicted as settled into her middle age and clearly over-the-hill with her looks having faded, is ([[WritersCannotDoMath doing the math]]) as old as a positively geriatric '''''37'''''. Jeanne Bal, the actress playing her, was only a year older than this. For reference, she was all of ''two'' years older than Creator/GraceLeeWhitney, and four years older than Creator/NichelleNichols, both of whom were consistently depicted as young women despite also being well into their thirties.

Nancy appears to have been written as older than both her actress and her own logical age to make her more appropriate for the two men playing her love interests, Creator/DeForestKelley (eight years her senior) and Alfred Ryder as Dr. Crater (twelve years her senior), both of whom looked older than they were.
