* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Before Bones injects himself with the vaccine, he and Spock argue briefly about trying it without the computer testing. Spock only barely puts up a fight before giving up. Spock says that bickering is pointless and leaves the room. Does Spock not want to waste the time and energy in a pointless argument? Or is he tacitly giving Bones the opportunity to test the vaccine on himself?

* ValuesDissonance: It's sometimes uncomfortable viewing when Kirk flirts openly with a girl just on the verge of puberty (so she could be anything from age 13 to 16), telling her she's 'very pretty' and obviously playing up to the fact she is falling in love with him. It comes across as grooming given how child-like she is, especially when he asks her to go for a walk with him. True he doesn't do anything to her, but it's still icky.
** AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: They need a local guide and Kirk is just humoring her to avoid angering the only person (a hormonal teenager) who knows what's going on. Still ValuesDissonance, but closer to the Kirk we know. [[DawsonCasting Notably, the actress was nineteen at the time,]] and, as Spock points out when their interaction starts disturbing Rand in-universe, the character is technically 300 years older than Kirk.
