- Marta is of course Yvonne Craig – more popularly known as Batgirl from the 60’s Batman TV series.
- Garth’s torture chair is a prop reused from the Season 1 episode “Dagger of the Mind“, with an altered headpiece.
- This episode also uses the space suits first seen in “The Tholian Web“. There’s a picture of that below.

This was a kind of a meh episode overall, but I did like a few individual bits. Very much enjoyed the chess move concept of keeping control of the ship secure. I liked Spock's logic in picking between two pic.twitter.com/ZziGDqOPkk

Jim Kirks. But the best - BATGIRL! Yvonne Craig (RIP) is in this one as a green Orion slave girl, who to this date still looks awesome. that! Shatner as Garth is funny! Garth himself is boring, tho. #qtql3 pic.twitter.com/5g77maN1lu
