Third-Order Vulgarism by flamingostalker

Summary
In one of his letters to Gene Rodenberry, writer Theodore Sturgeon criticized the constant rewrites of his material. He referred to the revision of the end of “Shore Leave”, where Dr. McCoy is surrounded by half-naked showgirls, as a “first-order Vulgarism”. He went on to give an example of a third-order Vulgarism:
“The whimsical friction between Bones and Spock is brought to a head by McCoy’s diagnosis that the Vulcanian needs a prostate massage, and must have it. But Spock’s prostate is not near his stern, but his sternum, or breastbone. So we have MED CU McCoy rolling up the sleeve of his tunic, not to the elbow, but to the shoulder.”
So what if television in the 60’s wasn’t full of a bunch of cowards?

Anton leaned forward suddenly, catching Viago’s withdrawing wrist in an impassioned grip, then inhaled softly through his nose. “Dried flowers,” he murmured. “And dust. Lacquered wood.” He slowly pulled Viago’s hand towards him, a sudden pang of need overriding his better judgement. The vampire’s eyes were wide and glittered in the lamplight, luster restored and shining with equal parts bemusement and hunger. He brought the underside of Viago’s wrist just shy of his nose before letting his eyelids flutter shut, and he sniffed again. “And iron. You smell of iron.” -
