How did the transporter (and other mechanisms) work for the sped-up people on the ship at THEIR speed, and still work normally for those at the slower rate? And if the transporter worked faster, why didn't Kirk's phaser? 2. On the subject of the phaser, why didn't it blow a hole in the wall when he fired it, or leave scorch marks, or at least be visible to the rest of the crew? 3. Could somebody explain why a person ages incredibly fast when he/shegets "cell damage"? Just rubbing your hands together kills thousands of cells. Why wouldn't that be fatal too? 4. At the end, why didn't Kirk give the antidote to the Scalosians? Then they would have been saved, and that would have been that. !ctvax!uokvax!uok!bruhgraw
