Alot of people have been complaining about the vestal virgins and gong
man in the Mt. Seleya scene in STIII.  There is precedent for the gong
player: there was a similar character in the "Amok Time" episode.  I
will admit that the virgins seemed a bit strange, although it provided
me with something to look at during what I considered a pretty boring
(but necessary to the plot) scene (how long can you watch expressions on
peoples' faces?).
