I did a "Cage" recast using actors of the period in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/ryantriddle/status/902358716736880640
I just watched "Return to Tomorrow" with my fiance last night. I have been showing her trek for the first time. Honestly I think a re-write of the whole second half would do. I loved the first half that lead into Kirk's speech, and then I think the later half was much weaker.
I would probably cut the villain aspect of them stealing their bodies and maybe deal with more the crew trying to save the three entities. Stick with the very heroic set up from Kirk's speech. You can have a whole final act with Kirk, Spock or McCoy struggling to stay in the body to save them just in time. Use the ticking clock aspect of being in the bodies.
Only a thought because I just watched it.

Yes. For some reason, the doctors in both The Cage and WNMHGB just drive me nuts. I know it's a short drive, but....
"Balance of Terror", which is nearly perfect, should have retained this:
Stiles' motivation would have been clearer and more powerful. Fear of the other, of the alien, of the suspected fifth-column, this fear was the mainspring of the plot, all subverted by Spock's heroism and the Commander's valediction.

I thought it was inferred that Leighton was maimed by Kodos's people during the executions of the colonists.
Yep, as the audience we're supposed to make certain connections based on dialog, direction and performance. Not have everything explicitly stated.
Since it's my favorite and otherwise perfect, I'd change Kirk appearing to walk past the door of auxiliary control in The Doomsday Machine before catching himself up at the sight of Decker slumped over the console. When they were headed there all along.
Stop with that inane insanity, sir.
Not disagreeing but what would be added to the episode by changing Khan's ethnicity?
Nothing other than ending a certain debate.
It's not like "Khan's" ethnicity wasn't changed before. He started out as a Scandinavian.
Not sure about that to be honest but what the hell was he in Into Darkness? Big faced English with a Sikh ancestry or what?

And here's the rejected original character designNothing other than ending a certain debate.

The prevailing theory is he had cosmetic surgery to hid his identity.
IDW did a prequel comic that depicted Khan being physically changed from his TOS self into the form in which he appeared in ST:ID. IMO, it should have just been left a mystery. In the movie itself he made a vague hand-wavy statement about how the whole "John Harrison" persona was a smokescreen. No details were necessary, just like no details were ever necessary about the difference in Klingon appearance over the years, or Khan having lighter complexion in TWOK than in "Space Seed."
