Regarding the episode where the Enterprise travels back in time and
accidently intercepts Gary 7.

If more people would LISTEN to those captain's log entries at the begining
of the show! The captain starts out by saying:

    Using the sling-shot principle the Enterprise has traveled back
    in time to observe history ....  and is currently in EXTENDED
    orbit using DEFLECTORS to avoid detection.

Remember all that junk from Scotty about there "still being time to
desend low enough to blast the missle".  Knowing what we do about the
range of the Enterprises phasers do you think she was only a few
thousand miles up!

As to detection:  If we, using 20th century technology, can develop the
stealth bomber don't you think the Enterprise could avoid detection by
some "primitive radar".

I thought this show was interesting in that it is one of the few that
uses the discoveries made in previous shows.  I mean how about the one
where Spock's brain is stolen and used as a environmental control
computer.  In another show we see the previous captain of the Enterprise
paralized.  His brain in working order, but unable to speak or move.
If the technology existed to interface to Spock's disembodied brain, why
not the other man's.  I am sure all of us can think of discoveries on
one show that could have solved the problems in the next.
