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.

I think they tired to take the PD more seriously in TNG even though they still routinely violated it

I don't remember Apple at all. Decent episode hits on a lot of common themes, like interfering with the primitive cultures even though they are happy and healthy they aren't free. I too find it stretching credibility that they hadn't discovered sex. I bet your boy Hutch and his girl were surprised to see him "pitching a tent" in his loin skirt there.

On another note, is it me or do these people remind you of the Oompa Loompa's from the first Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? I wonder is someone that worked on this Trek later worked on that movie?
