Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWilliam Campbell's first wig was a French hairpiece. He demanded that an English barrister's wig be found to fit his character. William Shatner complained that precious production time is going to be wasted for something he found to be a minor and unimportant detail. Director Don McDougall didn't want a conflict with the series star, so he called producer Gene L. Coon to the set to arbitrate the matter. Coon decided in favor of Campbell, and filming was halted until the English wig was found.
- GoofsThere seems to be some confusion as to the pronunciation of Lt. Jaeger's surname. Spock pronounces the name in the German manner, i.e. "Yay-ger", but later on, McCoy and DeSalle both use the "J"" pronunciation, i.e. "Jay-ger". However, this is not uncommon. Many European names are mispronounced by English-speaking people, bit the fastidious Spock is more likely to pronounce them properly.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits are set against a combination background of stills from that episode and previous episodes.

Featured review
Pretty good, though far from great
I did enjoy watching Squire Trelane jerk around the crew in this episode, though after a while the whole thing just seemed a little too long. Sure, the histrionics were kind of funny for a while, and the ending was a pretty good way to wrap the whole thing together. I think the problem was that I enjoyed seeing Trelane when he was full of bravado and fun, the fun seemed to vanish when Trelane became vindictive and nasty. Talk about a mood killer--going from the obnoxious but affable host to the guy sentencing Kirk to death! But, despite this, the episode was enjoyable and worth my time. For die-hard Trekkies, this is a must-see, for others it's just a pretty run of the mill one.
