While on the subject of inconsistencies...
	How about "Is there in truth no beauty?" in the final transporter 
scene?  In all instances where Carlos is being transported, all humans 
must be completely out of sight (even to the point of clearing all the
Enterprise's corridors when he is even carried by hand, much less being
transported with the transporter).  So the final scene comes, with Kirk
and Spock sending Carlos and Marenda (spelling?) off.  Kirk and Spock and
M. exchange their final words, Spock puts on the "protective visor" and
beams them away.  THEN the camera jumps to Kirk, who smiles at their
departure and leave the transporter room!!
	I therefore conclude that either (1) the version that I saw was
hopelessly butchered by the local commercial-loving network which broadcast
the episode, (2) From that moment onward, Kirk became "dangerously insane",
and is even now about to kill everyone in sight, or die of love for M.,
or (3) you guessed it... boy, did somebody goof! (see list of keywords...)
