| YATI : |
Spock claims that the detonation of an ounce of antimatter will rip half a planet's atmosphere off. In fact, this much antimatter would 'only' yield a maximum of about one megaton, enough to destroy a single city. In this episode Spock states that tritanium is 21.4 times as hard as diamond... yet in "Arena", Kirk claims that diamonds are "perhaps the hardest substance known in the universe". |
| Great Moment : |
I like the moment where Chapel passes on McCoy's order that Garrovick should eat something, only to then reveal that she was blatantly lying! |
| Body Count : |
Four redshirts, one other crewman, possibly a second, plus the cloud creature. |
| Factoid : |
Just after the opening credits, watch carefully as we pan across sickbay. McCoy has the nanopulse laser that Scotty was so impressed by in "I, Mudd" six episodes back. I guess once they had incapacitated all the androids, the Enterprise crew did a little pilfering! I wonder why McCoy has it instead of Scotty, though? |
| Quote : |
Scotty : "Captain, thank heaven!" Spock : "Mr Scott, there was no deity involved. It was my cross-circuiting to B that recovered them." McCoy : "Well then, thank pictchforks and pointed ears." |
