Notes

• The third episode that has a guest star that was connected to the 1960’s Batman TV series, although this time it was the 1966 movie made from that series.  Lee Meriweather was the Catwoman in that movie.
• This is the second and final episode with Dr. M’Benga (Booker Bradshaw).  The character would not be seen again until the series “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” when he was shown to be the Chief medical officer of the USS Enterprise under Capt Pike.
• The woman who takes Sulu’s place at the helm was in Star Trek previously as one of the natives in “The Paradise Syndrome“.
• The prop that Mr. Spock uses for his calculations is the same prop (slightly modified) that was used as the control mechanism to control Spock himself in “Spock’s Brain“.
