Trivia
The center section of D'Amato's tricorder differs substantially from the standard Starfleet model. Instead of tape discs and a moiré pattern, it features an intermittently glowing white panel and what appears to be a tubular sensor. In deference to D'Amato's specialty, some prop-conscious fans have dubbed this a "geological tricorder."

Goofs
When Sulu fires at the ground to stop Losira coming any closer there is a very loud explosion which fails to alert Kirk and McCoy who are asleep close by. Yet, when Sulu then calls out to them they awake and come to his rescue.

Quotes
Mr. Spock: You have 8 minutes, 41 seconds.
Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott: I know what time it is. I don't need a bloomin' cuckoo clock.

Another poorly scripted episode

One of my least favorites because of Spock's ridiculous comments and irritating, anal-obsessive behavior. This episode is close to a parody of Vulcan logic and social interaction. I don't know what the writers were trying to accomplish by depicting him in this way.
