    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      As a lieutenant commander, Ann Mulhall has the distinction of being the highest-ranking female Starfleet character shown in The Original Series.
    • Goofs
      Dr. Ann Mulhall wears a red tunic, but she is described as a astrobiologist, which should put her in the Sciences division and have her wearing a blue tunic.
    • Quotes
      • Capt. Kirk: They used to say if man could fly, he'd have wings, but he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon, or that we hadn't gone on to Mars and then to the nearest star? That's like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great-great-great-great grandfather used to. I'm in command. I could order this, but I'm not because Doctor McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this, but I must point out that the possibilities - the potential for knowledge and advancement - is equally great. Risk! Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her. You may dissent without prejudice. Do I hear a negative vote?
    • Alternate versions
      Special Enhanced version Digitally Remastered with new exterior shots and remade opening theme song

      Featured in The Star Trek Saga: From One Generation to the Next (1988)
    • Soundtracks
      Theme
      Music credited to Alexander Courage, although a small part of the theme resembles the main title music for 'Hollow Triumph (1948)' by Sol Kaplan, who is not credited. Sol Kaplan did contribute music to numerous episodes and is so credited when applicable.
      Sung by Loulie Jean Norman
