Notes
- This episode is often cited as having the first interracial kiss on TV (William Shatner & Nichelle Nichols). That is technically not correct, however.
- This is the last episode to have an original score. All remaining episodes re-use music from elsewhere in the show’s run.
- The song Spock sings in this episode is called “Maiden Wine”. It was written by Nimoy himself.

a moment. The rest is about a society that became complacent with mental powers that makes them believe they can do whatever they want. Has an ugly taste. My dad liked Michael Dunn (from Wild Wild West). pic.twitter.com/af7A6cwvsK
