   I've resisted going back and viewing this episode for obvious reasons.   
   One wonders why they just didn't make the crew do everything they   
   wanted. Probably because it would have required energy, while   
   implanting an idea in their mind doesn't require much once that seed   
   takes root. It would have been funny if in the next episode Sulu   
   momentarily had a flashback to the daggers and knives.
