   I think there are better alternatives to let us know the shuttlecraft   
   was rising than the Yeoman acting like she's on the Mickey Mouse   
   Club.  How about Spock or Scotty calmly saying "its working, we are   
   leaving the planet surface".  Or McCoy could have said "We're moving,   
   you pointy eared, green blooded, heartless SOB.  Or Boma could have   
   remarked, "Mr Spock, we're taking off, but I still wish it was you who   
   got shish-kabobed instead of Latmier.   
   It isn't just the yeoman here who is made to look foolish.  Uhura is   
   made to look foolish twice in "Arena".  Granted, Kirk disappearing off   
   the bridge is shocking, but Uhura screams like some guy from The Texas   
   Chainsaw Massacre is coming at her.  Then, upon first seeing the Gorn   
   on the screen, Uhura holds her hand in front of her face like some   
   child watching a horror movie and halfway covering their eyes to peak   
   at the screen.
