Trivia / Star Trek S1 E23 "A Taste of Armageddon"

• Deleted Scene: A conversation scene between Anan 7 and Sar 6 in Anan's quarters.
• Reality Subtext: Scotty's refusal to lower the shields against orders is based on an actual story from James Doohan's military service. As a lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Artillery, he was threatened with Court Martial for real for saying "No sir, I will not," to a visiting colonel when he realized a training exercise order would entail blowing the heads off some of his own men. Fortunately, his immediate superiors backed him up and, like his fictional character, he was eventually promoted to captain.
