An entire scene is devoted
to discussing which of three planets to send the landing party to
search for Spock's brain. But there are hundreds of people aboard
the Enterprise. Kirk could conceivably send a hundred searchers
to each planet and still have more than enough personnel for a skeleton
crew to run the ship. |

As McCoy tries to reconnect
Spock's vocal chords, Spock himself tells the doctor to "finish
reconnecting my speech center" so he can help out. But given that
he just manages to say that, there doesn't seem to be much, if anything,
left in that area to reconnect. |

Kirk orders phasers on
stun when they enter the caves because he wants them conscious.
However, "stun" doesn't typically leave its victims conscious. |

Before beaming down to
the planet, Kirk mistakenly says the stardate is 4351.5 instead
of 5431.5. |

After deciding to go to
the Sigma Draconis system, Kirk orders Sulu to take them there at
"maximum speed". Sulu acknowledges the order with "Warp Six", but
the Enterprise's maximum speed is Warp Eight on the 2260s scale. |

While discussing Spock's
missing brain in sickbay, McCoy says he doesn't know how long Spock
can survive without his brain, but only a few seconds later, he
randomly puts a 24-hour time limit on restoring the brain to Spock's
body. Does he know how long Spock has or not? |

When they arrived in the
system they said they were heading for the sixth planet in the system
of Sigma Draconis, but in his captain's log about halfway through
the episode, Kirk calls it Sigma Draconis VII. |

Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty manage to
sit upright in those teeny little low-backed chairs despite the
fact they're unconscious. |

worn in "This Side of Paradise". |
