Added DiffLines:

* DueToTheDead: Me TV rescheduled this episode to play in the wake of Creator/LeonardNimoy's death. While the previously scheduled [[Recap/StarTrekS1E24ThisSideOfParadise "This Side of Paradise"]] did also focus on Spock, this episode explored his character just a bit more.

* This episode was written and rewritten by about fifteen or twenty different people in addition to Creator/TheodoreSturgeon. Much of the WorldBuilding we saw didn't come from Sturgeon but from D.C. Fontana, Stan Robertson, the Kellam-Deforest research people (one of whom [[ConLang invented a few additional Vulcan words]], which unfortunately didn't make it into the show as aired) and Gene Coon with additions by the cast.

* PropRecycling: Romulan helmets are reused from "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E14BalanceOfTerror Balance of Terror]]", this time worn by Vulcans during the pon farr ritual. In both productions, the helmets were a de facto economy measure as they precluded the need for the actors to wear ear prostheses.
