    Storyline

    • Trivia
      William Shatner portrays Kirk's brother Sam in the scene where Kirk rolls his body over to identify him. The shot is brief, but freezing the frame reveals Shatner in light character makeup and a mustache.

      Early on when the Enterprise tries to stop the space ship heading towards the Deneva sun Kirk instructs Sulu to set an intercept course and increase speed to warp 8. As the Enterprise was already in the inner solar system this would have caused them to run into the sun in just a few seconds. Warp factor 8 is approximately 512 times the speed of light (553 billion km/hr), a ship traveling at that velocity could travel across the entire Sol system, a distance of 12 billion kilometers (7.45 billion miles), in only 1.3 minutes.
    • Quotes
      • Dr. McCoy: Unusual eye arrangement. I might've known he'd turn up something like that.
      • Capt. Kirk: What's that, doctor?
      • Dr. McCoy: I said, please don't tell Spock I said he was the best first officer in the fleet.
      • Spock: Why thank you, Dr. McCoy.
      • Capt. Kirk: You've been so concerned about his Vulcan eyes, Doctor, you forgot about his Vulcan ears.
