Oh, shit. I didn't even notice the LCARS bits until now.

CONTINUITY VIOLATION.

Or something.

one of the earlier seasons (maybe even 1?) the clapper had a TOS Enterprise sticker and the usual suspects jumped to conclusion that it meant the ship would look that way.

For me - Decker's story was a the B plot of the episode and he was there as a primary plot complication for both Kirk and Spock. Yes, his character DID have a story (and it was a decent and heartfelt one that elivates the episope) - but yeah, they entire overall focus is "How does the 1701 ship and crew beat this thing and save the most densely populated section of the Milky Way Galaxy."

I'd disagree. Decker and his guilt and obsession are the primary plot. The Doomsday machine is there to motivate Decker's behavior and give a sense of jeopardy to our heroes. Decker also places our heroes in jeopardy through his actions. The "solution" to the DM is basically "Kill it with fire!!!!!!!" (From the inside)
