Original title, "Operation: Destroy.
This episode is reminiscent of Robert A. Heinlein's 1951 novel, The Puppet Masters.
The idea that these creatures are part of a larger entity was taken from Jerry Sohl's script "This Side of Paradise."
The original ending was to have Kirk destroy all life on Deneva.
10/10.
All three answers for #4 are in fact planets mentioned in "Star Trek". Sarthong V is mentioned in the episode "Captain's Holiday" in TNG, and "Kzin" is mentioned in "The Slaver Weapon" from the animated series.
(Yes, "Kzin" and the Kzinti are from Larry Niven's "Tales of Known Space" stories. Trek didn't steal them - Niven adapted his own short story into the Trek script.)
