Notes

• The Romulan cloaking device prop was mostly the robot Nomad from “Return to Tomorrow”.  The console that held it was used in other episodes as well – “I, Mudd“, “The Return of the Archons“, & “Whom Gods Destroy“.
• The first episode of any incarnation of Star Trek to have a female ship commander.
• This is the second and final appearance of the Romulans in the original series.
• The Romulan commander was played by Joanne Linville.  The character was revived (along with Subcommander Tai) in the series finale of the fan series “Star Trek Continues”.  In this production, the Romulan Commander was played by Amy Rydell, the real life daughter of the original actress Joanne Linville.  Photos of these two are below.
