Towards the end, Kirk orders a hyperbolic course, and Lieutenant Brent, at the navigator's station, asks for a direction. But he turns to the right to face Spock's station (Spock is in engineering) when he asks it. Kirk is over Brent's left shoulder, but if Brent had turned that way to deliver his line, he'd have had his back to the camera. See more »Quotes

This is a great example of how to tie character development into the plot of your episode. The use of a bug to unearth the crew's inhibitions and self-doubt makes for a great episode and good way for the audience to find out more about these characters. Spock's struggle with emotion, Kirk's conflict between finding romantic love and maintaining Captain-like control, Sulu's... fencing hobby?
All of this further's the development of these characters and makes the audience identify with their plights. Mix this with a little bit of peril and you have yourself a solid episode.
