* SuddenlyShouting: Kirk briefly loses it when he has to spell it out to Captain Tracey that there is no serum to the extreme longevity that Tracey killed thousands to procure. (It probably doesn't help his composure any that Tracey has just shot [[TheNotLoveInterest Spock]] and may have killed him.)

* WrongLineOfWork: Captain Tracey is a starship captain, but his knowledge of medical science is limited, and as a result when he learns of the inhabitants' long life-spans, he assumes at first that it's some form of a fountain of youth and/or immortality (obsession and madness didn't help). The moment a trained medical professional comes along and properly examines all the clues, the outlandish claim is instantly dismissed.

** The idea that Kirk, Spock and [=McCoy=] can safely return to the ''Enterprise'' because they've been immunised to the virus is ludicrous, because they would still ''carry'' said virus and can still kill the crew with it- all they'd truly have done is become asymptomatic carriers, ''a la'' Typhoid Mary. Either the entire crew would have had to spend time on the planet as well, or the landing party would need to be isolated on their return until the virus was removed or expunged from their system.
