In the episode with Skippy Homeir as a Nazi, little homing devices
are implanted in Kirk and Spock so that in the event they cannot communicate
with the ship they can at least be located.
Why wasn't this done in MIRI or A TASTE OF ARMAGEDDON or other episodes
where the crucial dramatic device is the loss of communicators? MIRI is
especially ridiculous because the "onlies" steal the "boxes" from the
"grups" which leaves Spock and McCoy unable to tie into the ship's computer
to discover a cure for the disgusting and disfiguring disease that attacks
"grups", i.e. Kirk and the landing party. [Yeoman Janis in tears to Jim:
"On the ship I always tried to get you to look at my legs ... LOOK AT MY
LEGS!!!" They are covered with blue and grey blobs.]
Why couldn't the crew on the Enterprise beam down some communicators
after they hadn't heard from the "grups" for a few days?
