Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLater in 1967, physicist John Archibald Wheeler would popularize the term "black hole" to refer to the phenomenon Kirk describes as a black star, at the suggestion of a student. While several sources credit Wheeler for coining the phrase, it was used in science journals as early as 1963. The term is now credited to physicist Robert H. Dicke, comparing the phenomenon to a life prison dungeon in Calcutta known as the "Black Hole of Calcutta".
- GoofsIn Requiem for Methuselah (1969), Spock, during a mind meld, can order someone to "forget". It is unclear why he didn't meld with Captain Christopher for this purpose.

Lieutenant Colonel Fellini: I am going to lock you up for 200 years.

Things Wrap Up a Little Too Nicely
The challenge comes when the gang travels into the past. Going through some time warp, the Enterprise is seen in the sky in the U. S. in the 1960's. Unfortunately, a fighter pilot tails them when when they attach a tractor beam, it tears the plane apart. They are able to beam the pilot on to the ship, but now more trouble follows. He, of course, is part of the past and anything he says or does can tear apart the fabric of time. It could lead to dire consequences. What to do. The man has a family and is a sympathetic character, but he is also military all the way and says he will tell everything he has experienced. The crew must also go down to earth and steal some computer reels to cover things up and again are forced to beam another man, a sergeant of security, onto the ship. It seems hopeless but the old scientific realities of the warp enter in. There is a solution, though if one thinks too much, it's awfully convenient. This is the curse of the television series in that we know these same people are going to appear next week. It's still a sort of charming episode with some good plot twists.
