~ Question 1: If the creature in TWoK really crawled into Chekov's ear and wrapped itself around the cortex of the brain, doesn't this imply that the eardrum (among other stuff) had been broken and Chekov was from then-on deaf on that side? Question 2: In "The Paradise Syndrome", Miramoni (sp?) takes the medal off of the current medicine man's forehead and gives it to Kirock. Note that the band of the medal is elastic... If they had elastic, how come Miramoni couldn't figure out how Kirk's shirt came off (couldn't see any fasteners). Ideally, the first sight of elastic by her should've been Kirk's underpants (I am assuming Miramoni removed them from him, too). Scott
