Generally, people seem to think that Kirk being in the transporter room when Kollos beams out is a blooper. The problem with that is, Kollos is INSIDE the box, he isn't the box itself. As long as the box does not open, Kollos will not be seen. Having everyone stay away is a safety precaution, probably in case the box falls and cracks open or some such.

Kirk was just fine, since the box did not open while he was there. Notice, Spock only went mad once the box opened.

That's certainly one way of looking at it. However, the assumption a lot of people have made (and the reason they assume Kirk's presence was a continuity error) is that since Kollos was made of energy, when the box de-materialized, or was in the process of materialization, he would be visible through the box for at least part of the time. This is backed up by the fact that Spock only dons the visor for the materialization at the beginning of the show and removes it when the ambassador is fully materialized inside his box.

Age Before "Beauty"

I always thought that Larry Marvick was a bit young to be one of the designers of the Enterprise. But, David Frankham was 42 when this episode was shot, certainly old enough to design a ship like that. - Adambomb1701 19:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Connection of Miranda Jones to Shakespeare's Miranda

A note of explanation. An earlier editor had (unscuccessfully, imo) attempted to link Miranda Jones to the character of Miranda in "The Tempest," by comparing one's virginity (Tempest Miranda) to one's "wanting to have nothing to do with men romantically." (Miranda Jones) One does not logically have to follow the other. A virgin may be so simply for lack of available sexual partners, not necessarily because she wants nothing to do with men romantically. I deleted the "romantically" line. Yes, probably Aroeste named Dr. Jones for the character in "The Tempest," but I see little other connection between them, and certainly not what was originally implied.
