Trivia
The episode featured the first occasion that Geordi La Forge gave a report to the bridge from the engineering section. The producers liked this image so much that from season two onwards the character became the Chief Engineer.

Goofs
Geordi makes the comment "point 300 milliseconds," which is nonsensical. it's either .3 seconds or 300 milliseconds or .3 milliseconds - not what he stated.

Quotes

Perhaps The Worst ST Episode of All Time

This is astonishingly TOS had some pretty bad episodes but I don't remember anything this bad. The script is wretched and the actors can't do anything to help it. Clearly the new series hadn't found its feet yet. Data is odd, the Ferengi are cartoonish, and who thought those whips were a good idea?

For me, this the lowest moment in the franchise's history.

For me this is as a low a moment in the franchise history as any
