Another episode with great character work and acting, but absolutely awful science and plot holes that could be fixed through dialogue without spending a cent.

These problems are super frustrating for me too.

Spock: Aw. I know what will cheer you up - our 56th weekly cup of tea!
McCoy: Thanks, Spock. (picks a cup)
Spock: Um, no. Here, this one is yours.
Is this a reference to something?

No, just an implication that Spock's been gradually poisoning McCoy this whole time.

I presume this is supposed to be the Usenet Oracle, which I'm too young to have had direct access to. Looks like it's still going here:

Oracle: Oracle's Message of the Day #2 - Do not meddle in the affairs of the Oracle, for thou art crunchy and taste good with strawberry pie.
Why strawberry pie and not ketchup, as is traditional with this joke?

It has nothing to do with the actress and everything to do with a later Koenig role.

Philana: To you and your fellowship we present gifts.
Kirk: Galadriel you're not.
Philana: Are you sure? We even have our own Hobbit.
The Lord of the Rings films were released in 2001-2003, and the fiver was published in 2005. I feel old.

Amen.
