Season 2 / Episode 14: - Wolf in the Fold

Sybo: [eight people, including Kirk, McCoy, and Scott, are seated around a flame that is the only light in the room] Let us begin. Let the circle not be broken. Concentrate upon the flame which burns upon the Altar of Truth. Yes... there is something here. Something terrible. I feel its presence. Fear, anger, hatred... anger feeds the flame. Oh, oh, there is evil here, monstrous, terrible evil! Consuming hunger! Hatred of all that lives, hatred of women, a hunger that never dies! It is strong, overpowering, an ancient terror! It has a name: Barratus, Kesla, Redjac. Devouring all life, all light! A hunger that will never die! Redjac! *Redjac!* [the flame dies, and Sybo screams in horror]

MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: SPOILER: With Mr. Scott is accused of stabbing a young woman to death, it seems criminally negligent to have allowed him to be alone and unrestrained with a female crewman (LT Tracy), who is then stabbed to death.
CONT: SPOILER: When Jim and Bones look down at Lt Tracy, they are both staring far past her. She lies at McCoy's feet, but they seem to be staring at a point around three meters away toward the camera.
CREW: SPOILER: About three quarters of the way through the show, just a few seconds after Mr. Hingist "dies," the scene is switched to a wide-out, and the shadow of the camera can be clearly seen moving from left to right, and rising slightly on the far wall.
CONT: Scotty's hand shifts position between shots as he is on the witness stand. More, the close-up of Scotty's hand was that of another actor. This was done to conceal the fact that James Doohan's right middle finger was missing, the result of his participation in 1944's Invasion of Normandy.
