This episode features
one of the most famous scenes in "Star Trek" history when Captain
Kirk has to fight Mr. Spock with the classic "Star Trek Fight Music"
in the background. It was directly parodied in the movie "The Cable
Guy" and the music from that scene has been used in several other
"Star Trek" parodies. |

Celia Lovsky, who plays
T'Pau, could not shape her hand into the Vulcan hand salute. To
combat this, she molded her fingers into the right position with her

"For the
World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky". Admiral Komack had

Just before T'Pring calls for the challenge, there's a wide shot of her going toward the gong. Then they cut to a closeup and she is standing beside Stonn, and then she starts moving toward the gong again. |

T'Pol from
"Star Trek:
Enterprise" was originally intended to be a younger version of T'Pau
from this episode, however, in doing so, the producers would have to
pay writer Theodore Sturgeon's family royalties every time the
character appeared, so the character was rewritten. |
