They killed Hengist!

You haven't seen it in a while. :) Spock lost his mind in "Operation Annihilate" and attacked everyone on the bridge. He was screaming. He tried to take the ship down.
Yup. Something similar happens in "Is There In Truth No Beauty" and even "Day of the Dove" has a brief scene that fits the overall pattern. Those are two seasons later, but add in "Return to Tomorrow" and "All Our Yesterdays" and it would be hard for someone watching/rewatching the whole series at once not to detect, if not a trope exactly, a well to which the writers/producers loved to return.

Nimoy probably liked being able to "stretch" a little.

I love that bit in "All Our Yesterdays" when Spock takes McCoy by the throat and tells him off. The presence of a scantily clad woman that both men desire takes Star Trek to a primal place it seldom went.

It kind of mirrors McCoy yanking Spock against the wall in "Bread and Circuses" and, frankly, coming in a little hot for the situation. But that outburst might be realism if we remember that the characters aren't supposed to know they are regulars in a series, and that everything will be fine. Realism-McCoy is under pressure from not knowing if he'll be alive tomorrow, and he snaps.

He was trying to thank the pointy-eared hobgoblin. But wasn't it essentially verbal, as opposed to McCoy's violent Captain's chair THOLIAN WEB swivel?
