Trivia
This is Nichelle Nichols's favorite episode because Uhura takes command of the Enterprise.

Goofs
Spock reaches out telepathically to Christine Chapel. This ability was previously established in The Omega Glory (1968) in which Spock "makes a suggestion" to Sirah to open a communicator. Additionally, Lt. Uhura is right beside Christine but doesn't "hear" Spock. In Return to Tomorrow (1968), Spock's consciousness was briefly housed inside Nurse Chapel's mind. In her words, "We shared consciousness." This made it possible for her to receive his thoughts.

Quotes
Nurse Christine Chapel: What are you doing?
Lt. Uhura: Taking command of this ship.

Sci-Fi-Sirens...

If you happen to see the most beautiful girl, turn right around and make off in a whirl, she'll take as much of your life force that she can expunge, leave a shadow of yourself full of holes like a sponge.

Mesmerised by shallow beauty the men of the Enterprise are hooked by space sirens who render them useless and decrepit.
