    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When this series premiered, George Takei was running for Los Angeles city council at the time. His opponents protested that airing any episode with Takei would violate the equal time law which states that political opponents must have equal time on television; so, although it is the second episode, in Los Angeles this episode was aired first, before Beyond the Farthest Star (1973), because Takei does not appear in it.

    • Quotes

      Mr. Spock: A Vulcan would face such a loss without tears.

      Young Spock: How?

      Mr. Spock: By understanding every life comes to an end when time demands it. Loss of life is to be mourned, but only if the life was wasted.

    Time of the Vulcan...
    If you're tempted to meddle with time, there are bells that may not get to chime, as Spock travels back, to fix his backtrack, and recover the ladder he's climbed.
