	A band, featured in "Trekkies 2" named themselves "No Kill I" after the Horta's ominious message.
	Barry Russo, who plays Lieutenant Commander Giotto, would later play Commodore Robert Wesley in "The Ultimate Computer".
	William Shatner's father passed away during the shooting of this episode, causing him to lose a couple days of filmmaking.
	This is William Shatner's favourite episode.
	After returning from his father's funeral, William Shatner asked Leonard Nimoy to go through the scene where Mr. Spock reaches out with his mind to communicate with the Horta, since the scene had already been filmed with Shatner's stunt double's back to the camera. After Nimoy screamed "PAIN, PAIN!", William Shatner chimed in "Someone get this man an aspirin!" Leonard Nimoy didn't take too kindly to that.
