In honor of "Kirk vs. Spock," here is a picture of The Edge, looking remarkably like Spock from "The City on the Edge of Forever." The look is explained by the following dialogue:
Kirk: Well, Mr Spock, if we can't disguise you, we'll find some way of explaining you.
Spock: That should prove interesting.
****
Kirk: My friend is obviously Chinese. I see you've noticed the ears. They're ... actually quite easy to explain.
Spock: Perhaps the unfortunate accident I had as a child...
Kirk: The unfortunate accident he had as a child, he caught his head in a mechanical ... rice picker.
As a result, poor Spock ends up wearing a stocking cap for the rest of the episode. Hey--it was a look that was obviously ahead of its time.

Todd--
What? You think the Mighty Shatner ever made mistakes? Never--unless there was a pretty woman in the area and he got distracted...or the craft table had some wicked chopped chicken livers and he got distracted...or...
Actually, I haven't see TOS for such a looong time, I will acknowledge your superior perceptiveness.
