Notes

• The Star Trek: Enterprise two parter “In a Mirror Darkly” was a direct sequel to both this episode as well as “Mirror Mirror“.
• One of the helmets from the spacesuits in this episode was worn by actor Conrad Janis in a Mork & Mindy episode titled “Mork Goes Public”.  There’s a photo of this below.
• The only episode where Spock calls McCoy “Bones”.
• The episode features a blooper when stock footage of Chekov in front of the viewscreen is used moments after his character is escorted to sickbay.
• The original special effects of this show did not show the hull of the USS Defiant with its call sign of “NCC-1764”.  Presumably this was done to save money and not having to use the same trick Doomsday Machine did which was to rearrange the numbers NCC-1701 to what they did there (NCC-1017). The remastered version did show the NCC-1764.
