YATI :

Kirk is told that in his last fight, he must stay in a yellow zone and his opponents in the blue. Trespass into an opponents zone will cost you a weapon. Despite this, both sides routinely trespass throughout the fight without any penalty being imposed.

Great Moment :

I love Chekov's horror when his drill thrall arrives and starts making passes at him.

Body Count :

2, killed by Kirk in his final fight.

Factoid :

The glass dome which covers the Providers is also the cockpit cover of Lazarus's craft in "The Alternative Factor".

Quote :

Bones : "You're going to leave here without them and run off on some wild goose chase halfway across the galaxy just because you found a discrepancy in a hydrogen cloud?"
Spock : "Doctor I am chasing the Captain, Lieutenant Uhura and Ensign Chekov, not some wild aquatic fowl."

"A species that enslaves other beings is hardly superior, mentally or otherwise." - Kirk to the Providers.
