    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Lincoln tells Kirk, "There is no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war, except its ending." This speech, written by the Star Trek screen writers, has become so popular that some people mistakenly believe it to be something the real Abraham Lincoln said.
    • Goofs
      Mr. Lincoln asks Captain Kirk, "Do you still measure time in minutes?", to which Kirk replies, "We can convert to it, sir." Hours and minutes are used regularly in the Trek Universe.
    • Quotes
      • Abraham Lincoln: [interrupting] What a charming negress. Oh, forgive me, my dear. I know that in my time some use that term as a description of property.
      • Uhura: But why should I object to that term, sir? You see, in our century, we've learned not to fear words.
