Later they could have wrapped Simon Pegg's corresponding digit in bluescreen cloth and CGd it out.
In the original timeline Keenser bit off Scotty's finger. After that incident, Mr. Scott "accidentally" scrambled Keenser's atoms during a transport. That's why he didn't have Keenser with him on the Enterprise. In the alt-timeline, Keenser never bit him.
Keenser was my favorite character in JJTrek.
Predecessor to Denny Crane.
Jokes aside, the character of Mr.Scott never lost a finger so that's why it was always covered up! Did anyone ever notice his missing digit in anything else he did like Voyage To The Bottom of The Sea or The Outer Limits?

Scotty was seen to be missing a finger in The Trouble With Tribbles, though that one was supposed to be covered. By the films, it was accepted, though not spoken of, that Scotty had lost the finger at some point. It's obviously missing in SFS when he hands Bones the parts from Excelsior's computer drive, and at the beginning of TFF, when he opens the bag of snacks Uhura gives him.
As for other productions, he hid the hand a lot. He was in an episode of Hotel, I believe it was, and they concealed it clumsily behind Anne Baxter's hand as he shook hands with another character.
...zippered monsters...
Doohan seemed to always keep the fingers to that hand curled
Once you figured out that Shatner was wearing "old guy" makeup, did that also spoil the illusion?
Well they are similar, but different 'tricks'. Old age make up with old age acting is one thing, an oversized jumper is another. My criticism is purely a critique. I think they did a very creative job. I'm merely saying now I know what they did, I can't help but view it like that now.
I figured he turned him into Haggis, served with a nice Scotch.
They pulled that trick in The Cage as wellI just noticed that the transporter console in Where No Man Has Gone Before is just the helm
I didn't realise Captain Tracey beat Kirk twice in fist fights.
Aside from the stupid Earth Parallel this was a great Kirk episode. He had Spock advising him to arrest Tracey while in this precarious position in the planet. He had his duty. His respect for another Star Trek captain. He had McCoy saying he should be easy on Tracey. He had to balance all this with a potential death sentence for the landing party and the Prime Directive.
And Woodwards acting made us feel a bit sorry for Tracey and the situation he had put himself in.
Didn't Kirk break the Prime Directive when he told the Yang that he was from a light in the sky?

It is left open to the viewer to figure it out. We find a world with a population seemingly very small consisting of only Yangs (American Yankees) and Kohms (Chinese Communists) plus a biological war potentially many centuries ago. Later we find the Yangs revering a reproduction 50-star American Flag and a reproduction Declaration of Independence.
I envision a joint venture in the late 20th century or early 21st century between the USA and China to colonize a distance planet, but the mission goes sideways as the spaceship get sucked into a wormhole and gets spit out near the planet but centuries in their past. They colonize but idealogical differences spark up and the joint colony splits apart to develop independent of each other. A few decades to centuries later, they go to war and one side uses biological warfare. Many centuries later, we find the situation on Omega Four. Mucking with these people would not be a violation of the prime directive (so, Tracey is not guilty!).
I wonder how the PD works on folks who don't realize they are space aliens themselves. I mean, deep down, everybody is, thank the "The Chase" meddlers. But supposedly the "Paradise Syndrome" Earthlings, too, enjoyed at least some PD-like protection (even though our heroes make it sound like their own evolved morals rather than a Starfleet dictate).
I also wonder how exactly Spock so readily decided these were Earthling Amerinds, identifying them by nation, even. He doesn't touch his tricorder; we never see him utilize as much as a pair of binoculars! Was the identity of the locals determined from orbit before the beam-down, despite McCoy feigning surprise (or having missed a briefing)?
In any case, Spock's analysis, apparently accepted by his colleagues, leaves basically no room for the interpretation that these would be just lookalike injuns - they are taken for actual Delaware and Navajo even when the planet is deemed a fake.

They could be taken for actual Delaware and Navajo BECAUSE the planet is deemed a fake. It was clearly an Earth sized asteroid either in diameter, or density, or both, that had been terraformed specifically so these people could thrive there unchanging, perhaps forever. It's unlikely they developed there on their own.
I came to this conclusion as well. Pity they deleted the scene where they speculate the planet a result of Earth's early space race.
