    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to John M. Dwyer (on the TOS season 2 DVD special features), the metal artwork and sculptures that appear throughout the city were mostly parts of metal furniture, like tables, etc. that he had rented from, "a guy up in Topanga Canyon" minus the glass tops, and much care had to be taken to return them in their original condition.
    • Goofs
      In Amok Time (1967), Spock tells Kirk, his closest friend, that the Pon Farr is not to be discussed with non-Vulcans. Even after Kirk guesses the gist of it, Spock is visibly uncomfortable talking with him about it. Yet here, he chats about it with Droxine, a woman he has known for only a few hours, and with no more concern or discomfort than if he were discussing a new chemical compound.
    • Quotes

      Plasus: Gentlemen, one of our planet's most incomparable works of art: my daughter Droxine. Captain James Kirk.

      Captain James T. Kirk: A pleasure, Madam.

      Droxine: Indeed yes, Captain.

      Plasus: And First Officer Spock.

      [Spock bows his head very slowly]

      Droxine: I have never before met a Vulcan, sir.

      Mr. Spock: Nor I a work of art, Madam.

    Upstairs, Downstairs...
    A prejudice class war in all but name, with those on top ruling the game, heads in the clouds, controlling the crowds, the populations caged and contained.

    Workers of Ardana unite.
