I’m sure every parent wishes they had the superpower of making all instruments of violence suddenly 350 degrees to make their kids drop them, right?

The answer to that is obviously no, because 350 degrees is seriously hot (even assuming the Organians work in the illogical Fahrenheit for some reason). We’re talking oven or curling iron burns. You can get an instant 1st degree burn from water at a mere 150F, so this seems excessive. Of course, like all good superadvanced aliens, the Organians have evolved beyond the inconvenience of bodies, so I guess they’ve forgotten about skin and nerves and stuff.

The part I’m really concerned about is even their bodies are suddenly 350 degrees? I assume this is some sort of magic that radiates outwards without affecting their skin, because otherwise Bones is going to be dealing with some very messy all-over 3rd degree burns.

I’m also very curious about the definition of “instruments of violence” and the necessity of making this affect the entire planet. It’s even shown to affect the Enterprise in orbit around the planet. So somewhere, was someone idly chopping vegetables for dinner when they suddenly received serious burns from their kitchen knife?

The Organians may be super-advanced, but they’re also assholes.
