General clarification on work content The disease is specifically stated to be a baccilus, not a virus. Also replaced "excreted" with "secreted" and added Artistic License Biology.


* AllPlanetsAreEarthlike: A planet that was technically habitable (right sunlight and air quality), but all the flora excreted a deadly acid, and the fruit was lethal.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Flowers would not form on a planet unless they were meant to attract pollinators. Flowers require a fair amount of resources and water to develop and maintain. One might make a similar argument about the fruit, except that some fruits disperse seeds via exploding fleshy capsules.



* {{Foreshadowing}}: Spock's sensors indicate a total lack of animal life on Eden. Turns out that all of the vegetation on the planet is toxic and acidic.



* TyphoidMary: Dr. Sevrin, carrier of the ''Synthecoccus novae'' virus who was crazy more than he was malicious. While the episode had no reported infections, having to isolate him to ensure that did ''really'' tick off his followers.

* HiddenDepths: Spock has a musical side. Who would have guessed?
** Anyone who'd seen him playing the [[https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/working-vulcan-lyre-at-instructibles-com.95382/ lytherette]] (lyrette, Vulcan harp, lyre, lute, or whatever they're calling it ''this'' week) in "Charlie X" or "Amok Time". He was supposed to play it in "Elaan of Troyius" but it got cut. Uhura snitches it to play "Beyond Antares" in "Conscience of the King".
** {{Fanon}} calls the round instrument played by Mavig (Debbie Downey) a "Berengarian dulcewires". Early fan Ruth Berman coined that name for her ''Kraith'' story "[[http://www.simegen.com/fandom/startrek/kraith/kc001/kc01_14.html The Disaffirmed]]".

Kirk and the ''Enterprise'' are in hot pursuit of the stolen spaceship ''Aurora''. The ''Aurora'' isn't giving up easily and leads them on a high speed chase. (High as in warp, not what you were thinking.) The cruiser's engines become strained from the chase and the whole thing goes ka-blooey! Fortunately (or not), Scotty manages to beam aboard the six miscreants before the cruiser explodes.

Original link was green, and that link has the instructions:” If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.” Make Some Noise made the most sense to me. If another makes mores sense to you, cool. But it should be a blue link, not a green one. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MakeMeWannaShout


* MakeMeWannaShout: Sevrin uses an ultrasonic tone to knock out everyone on the ''Enterprise'' so the hippies can make their getaway.

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse


* DoesNotLikeShoes: Dr. Sevrin and the space hippies. At one point, Scotty even disparages them as "barefooted watchacallens."
** AgonyOfTheFeet: The grass of Eden is so badly saturated with acid that it inflicts horrific burns on the feet of every member of the hippie cult except Adam, the only one who has any kind of footwear at all -- leggings.

** "Eden" turns out to be located in Romulan space, which naturally worries the hell out of Kirk after Sevrin and co take over; before beaming down, he tells Scotty to try and explain the situation if they show up[[labelnote:*]] because [[SarcasmMode that would clearly go SPECTACULARLY well]] -- "Sorry, laddies, it wasn't our fault; our ship was hijacked by hippies!"[[/labelnote]]. Somehow, though, the Romulans -- who usually show up to surround the ''Enterprise'' the moment they stray into the Neutral Zone, and who would probably '''love''' to get their hands on Kirk after "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E2TheEnterpriseIncident The Enterprise Incident]]" -- never show up. Presumably, everyone at the border monitoring stations was on break that day or something.
