[edit] Goofs

• In a bit of an oversight, Scotty beams Cyrano Jones aboard the Enterprise moments after Sulu announces that the Enterprise's shields have been raised.
• As Scotty is beaming Jones aboard, the scene briefly cuts to a view of Kyle using the transporter, while the uniform still possesses Scotty's rank of lieutenant commander. When the camera pulls back, it is Scotty again, but his rank is upgraded to captain.

Removed the above, this site is not for critiquing "errors". --Alan del Beccio 08:03, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The later would, because it is an editing error, and noteworthy in my eyes. The first is story-telling so it really doesn't need to be mentioned -- Kobi - (Talk) 09:09, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Background note

I am removing the following background note:

• Although Star Trek: The Animated Series isn't considered canon, the Klingon insignia is introduced in this episode and would later be used in all subsequent Star Trek productions.

Memory Alpha does consider The Animated Series to be canon. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 03:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, but if the Klingon insignia first appeared in this episode and was adapted for later, live-action productions, shouldn't it be noted here? Also, it should be noted that while we consider it canon, TPTB do not, which is probably what the user who added the note meant. --From Andoria with Love 07:42, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll add a note about the Klingon insignia. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 07:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Is this really the first use of the Klingon insignia? I'm pretty sure it's behind the Klingon Commander on the viewscreen in "Elaan of Troyius" albeit rotated by 90 degrees. Fossib 01:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Regarding:

"This episode was spoofed in an episode of Animaniacs. When Yakko Warner sat in the Captain's chair he felt something, he pulled out from beneath him a Tribble and threw it away."

I believe this was actually "The Trouble with Tribbles" that Kirk sat on the tribble, because the scene appeared in "Trials and Tribble-ations", and Dax stated something with regards of "half expecting the tribble he sat on to explode." --Alan del Beccio 04:33, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

You're right. I'm not sure if there's a similar scene in the animated episode, but there was definitely such a scene in the original series episode (it was one of more memorable scenes, actually). Even if there is a similar scene in the TAS ep, the Animaniacs episode most certainly would have meant it as an homage/reference to the original show since, let's face it, TAS just isn't as popular within our popular culture. In addition, this is something that belongs on Star Trek parodies (television), assuming it's not already there. --From Andoria with Love 05:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
