Seems like both crewmen operating the transporter need to familiarize themselves with penal colony procedures. Someone would keeps eyes on the cargo until it could be opened and examined or properly secured. Turning your back on it when you are the only one in the room could allow someone unauthorized to get to it, or... well...
Then we have security team members that don't watch their backs. WTF? Unfortunately this doesn't get better in more modern shows. Incompetent writing and directing is incompetent writing and directing, I guess.
The mind meld was a rough experience. I can see why that style was abandoned for what we later get to see. I wonder how many other mind meld styles they used before settling on the now standard one.
An overall decent story, but this could have been a better episode. The most annoying thing was that Kirk and Adam's kept cutting Noel off mid-sentence. What was that all about?
