Trivia
Jerome Bixby's original script was much darker than the filmed episode. The Kelvans (then called the Dvenyens) executed ten Enterprise crew members by opening the shuttle bay doors and letting them be sucked out into space. Kirk was put through "hellish torture". Also, crew members were chosen to mate with each other (Kirk was paired with Yeoman Leslie Thompson) to breed slaves for the Kelvans. NBC objected to all these, which led producer Gene L. Coon to order a heavy rewrite. The production staff also deemed the mating aspect too similar to The Cage (1966).

Goofs
While Scott and Tomar are drinking various liquors, Scotty tosses an empty bottle to the floor off-camera, and the sound of it breaking is heard. Later, when Scotty passes out, the discarded bottle is at his feet, intact.

Quotes
Scott: [Trying to drink Tomar under the table, Scotty enters, a bit tipsy, with a bottle of green liquid] I found this on Ganeroo... Ganimera... mee.
Tomar: What is it?
Scott: It's,
[looks for a label]
Scott: um,
[looks under the bottle; sniffs it]
Scott: ... It's green.
