Trivia
Shari Lewis decided to write the romantic angle centering on Scotty as a way to break away from the formula of Kirk always getting the love interests.

Goofs
At 48:00 (for 10 seconds) Kirk, McCoy and Spock are speaking - through the doorway behind McCoy, you can see a discarded newspaper lying on the floor that one of the (TV) crew members apparently left on the set. It is still there at 48:58 for another 25 seconds or so.

Quotes
Scott: [on intercom] Scott here.
Capt. Kirk: Scotty, where've you been? Where are you?
Scott: In the Sickbay.
Capt. Kirk: Are you sick?
Scott: Oh, no. I was just checkin' on the lass. She's going to be fine, though. There's nothing wrong with her.
Capt. Kirk: Well, I'm relieved to hear your prognosis, Mr. Scott. Is the doctor there with you or will I find HIM in Engineering?

Love this episode

I have watched this episode as much as any other. Not sure why people could consider it the worst episode when Spock's Brain is out there for that title. It is a very enjoyable episode with twists and turns of all types.
