Spock seemed to be an honorary Red Shirt this episode. He was attacked by the killer plant, struck by lightning, and had the near disaster with the exploding rock. 
Some good scenes from Scotty in command of the Enterprise - "There's nothing left to try again. I guess you'll have to fire me, sir."
I also liked the scene where Spock was uncomfortably called on to explain the ways of "replacement" to the yeoman ( 
).
This is also a good example of Spock and McCoy taking two contrasting, but in many ways both correct, viewpoints and Kirk having to choose between them. Of course, Vaal makes the choice easier by attacking the crew and ship. I wonder if Vaal had ignored them completely would Kirk still had interfered? Or would they leave the natives to live in stagnation?

Blasting through the seasons, It is quite apparent, Kirk wasn't really too interested in the Prime Directive.
I imagine even if Vaal had not attacked the ship, Kirk would have still found a way to screw up the poor little civilization.

This was both clever and subtle on the part of the writers - although the exploding rock showed a certain uncharacteristic carelessness - he survived the plant and the lightning - this reinforced the fact that Vulcans are much hardier than humans. Also, it demonstrated that the command crew was exposed to the same hazards as the redshirts - had Spock been human, the plant or lightning would have killed him.
