Pon Farr isn't seven years between nookie, it's seven years between renewing the marriage vows. With a built in "divorce in case of a better offer" fight to the death clause.
Hey, I never noticed that before....

It's a bit weird, but I've always thought, no matter how many times I've seen it, that Scott says "fitting like a glove". But no, your quote is correct. Just strange.
It's not 47, so I have to say it doesn't really make much of an impression on me!
There's no way I could be Vulcan and have to wait seven years to get some.
It's not like that. Vulcans can have sex any time they want. It's just that they HAVE to do it every seven years. If they want to do it more in the meantime, they can.
^Nah. See my post at the top of the page. Pon Farr is really just the wedding ceremony. It's an intense ceremony, that they just really have to participate in, but it's just the ceremony. Any boinking that later goes on isn't mandatory for the participants, it's just logical. After all, they just got married. 
I always read it as they have to have a jump every seven years or go mad in the trying! Then again I've known blokes here on earth who've never had a nibble in their lives and are as nutty as a fruit cake so maybe it's a similar thing here as well?

McCoy is also wearing his phaser upside down for part of the episode.
In 'The Doomsday Machine', Commodore Decker's command insignia looks just like a pretzel.
I have to say when I was a kid, I always thought Vulcans only had sex once every seven years and had to go back to Vulcan to do it. That whole business of salmon having to return to the place where they were born to spawn and all that.
Somehow anticipating Spectre of the Gun, McCoy has unfortunately chosen here the improper way to wear his sidearm, as illustrated in this instructive clip:
^^ I love that clip.
Probably already been mentioned, but both "Wink of an Eye" and "The Empath" use the same Scotty in the Conn speaking into the intercom scene. In "Wink," its a log entry to cover the actual dialog. Billy Blackburn is in the navigation spot for the doubly used footage.
The greased DA look and then his flat grey top! It was such a change in the look of the character that you expected it too have taken place over a couple of years! Yet the broadcast order had Scotty going back and forth, Black to grey and back again! Maybe he was wearing a 23rd century version of Grecian 2000?

Are you by chance referring to Scotty's hair in the third season?
Grey? When was Scotty grey in TOS?The greased DA look and then his flat grey top! It was such a change in the look of the character that you expected it too have taken place over a couple of years!

Can't say I noticed. Always looked to have dark hair to me until TMP. Looking at the screen caps, you might be right. His looks to be going a bit salt and pepper but varies with the lighting. Not what I'd call grey, but heading towards it.From Day of the Dove to The Empath and Let that be your last Battlefield to Turnabout Intruder!
