Trivia
After the scene where Spock is weeping, Leonard Nimoy's fan mail increased exponentially. Viewers were enthralled with the idea that Spock was secretly a reservoir of love and passion instead of an empty emotional void. This reaction inspired further scripts which explored Spock's inner makeup.

Goofs
Tormolen snaps that Sulu doesn't "rank" (outrank) him. Tormolen is a lieutenant junior grade (the only one seen in the series), while Sulu is a full lieutenant. So technically, Sulu does outrank him.

Quotes
[Sulu, acting psychotically, grabs Uhura and pulls her close to him]
Sulu: I'll protect you, fair maiden.
Uhura: Sorry, neither.
[pulls away]

Alternate versions
Special Enhanced version Digitally Remastered with new exterior shots and remade opening theme song. A highlight of the new special effects is a new establishing shot of the outpost, replacing generic footage of a frozen landscape.

Subdued personalities

The Enterprise is on a mission to observe the end of a planet and Leonard Nimoy and Stewart Moss go down to the planet's surface to pick up a science team of six. But they're all dead and in bizarre circumstances.

Soon enough however a lot of the Enterprise crew starts behaving bizarrely and if they don't snap out of it the Enterprise will be destroyed along with the planet it is observing.

Unforgettable in his role is Bruce Hyde as crewman O'Riley who acts like he's on a bender and keeps rendering I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen ad nauseum. He really makes a mess of things in his faux drunken delirium. Hyde did two appearances as O'Riley this is the first.

The site of George Takei as a swordsman from Alexandre Dumas. is something to see. Might have made more sense to make him a Samurai though.

Sulu nearly doesn't make Captain.
