dewicked Belly Dancer


* BellyDancer: The first thing we see in the episode is Kara performing at the nightclub with finger cymbals. Tania Lemani ([[http://www.gildedserpent.com/art43/johnclowtanya.htm interview here]]) is a professional Middle Eastern dancer. Like most Hollywood bellydancing, her performance here is a flourishing improvisation with some bellydancing elements. Justified in this case as she's doing an Argelian dance.

Administer is a verb, not a title, this was most likely a typo


An inquest is held. Administer Hengist calls for Scotty's immediate arrest. Scotty can't remember a thing. When Yeoman Tarkis, beamed down from the ''Enterprise'' with a psychotricorder to recover Scotty's memory, turns up dead and Scotty unconscious nearby, things look bad.

* AbsenteeActor:
** Spock doesn't come close to interacting with any other character until halfway through the episode. This is because Creator/LeonardNimoy's recent Emmy nomination put Creator/WilliamShatner in a snit and the producers were trying to keep the two actors apart.
** Uhura and Chekov don't appear in the episode.

After Scotty is granted therapeutic leave after a head injury, Kirk and Bones take him to Argelius II to visit a nightclub that has a sort of gypsy/Arabian Nights theme going on. Scotty seems to be recovering nicely and chats up a dancing girl named Kara. Kirk and Bones decide to leave Scotty alone with his new friend, but stop when they hear a screech from an alley. Kara is dead and Scotty is standing over her as if in a trance.

* DisintegrationChamber: Kirk gets rid of Redjac by converting the transporter into an improvised disintegration machine--"Deep space, full power, widest angle of dispersion!"--though whether this actually ''kills'' Redjac, or merely leaves its consciousness consisting of (as Spock puts it) "billions of separate bits of energy, floating forever in space, powerless", is unclear. Kirk is of the opinion that the thing will ''eventually'' actually die.

* AndIMustScream: Redjac's fate. When he's tricked into possessing Hengist, Scotty uses the transporter to send the body into deep space, far from ''Enterprise'', and with his pattern dispersed across as wide an area as possible. Kirk exposits that Redjac wukk fade into powerless energy forever without something to concentrate his form.

* ContinuityNod: A subtle, perhaps unintentional example. When Kirk asks Scotty to lie to him about how old he is (to prove their computer can detect when a person lies), Scotty briefly hesitates before answering "Twenty-two". When Kirk asked how old Chekov was in "Who Mourns for Adonais", which Scotty was present for, Chekov gave the same answer.

* DeadAllAlong: Heavily implied with Mr. Hengist. Normally when Redjac leaves a body after doing the murders, they're left in the same state they were beforehand, if with memory loss post-possession. However, when Mr. Hengist is exposed as the current host of the killer and tries to flee, Kirk fells him with physical force before [=McCoy=] goes to check his body... and declares him dead, to both their disbelief.
