[edit] Filming dates

The 1981 Star Trek Compendium lists this episode as being filmed in late October 1967 and the next episode, "Obsession" as being filmed in early and mid-October of that same year. As with "Space Seed" and "A Taste of Armageddon" I'm not sure whether the author mixed up the filming schedules, the episodes were filmed out of an assigned production order, or whether post-production work was being taken into account--Robert Treat 02:48, 27 May 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Rewording/Removal of Nits

Reworded this nit:

* Why it was necessary for Kirk to be part of a landing party for a check of an automated research station is perhaps a mystery on par with finding the Janus VI mining station backdrop painting from "The Devil in the Dark" under the surface of Triskelion.

And removed these (the second and third one are pointless and noncyclopedic):

* At the beginning of the episode, the landing party end up flat on their backs. As a result, Kirk's communicator ends up with a badly bent antenna grid. This miraculously corrects itself a few moments later when he tries to contact the ship.

* Much of the goings-on on the planet Triskelion are unpleasant, but there is enjoyable McCoy-Spock-Scott banter in this segment of the series. Walter Koenig has an interesting comic relief role with the flamboyant Tamoon.

* Spock's very sardonic dialogue in this episode is matched only by that in "That Which Survives". - Bridge 23:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
