Kirk reuses his Corbomite
bluff from first season episode "The
Corbomite Maneuver." |
| |
|
| |
Kirk said he was going
to engineering, but he went to his quarters. On the other hand,
it is possible he went to the wrong place due to his rapid aging. |
| |
|
| |
It seems that the strength
of the plasma decreased immensely because in "Balance
of Terror", two shots could destroy an outpost. |
| |
|
| |
Kirk still has a mirror
at waist height in his cabin (see "Journey
to Babel"). |
| |
|
| |
Kirk switches back and
forth between miles and kilometers in this episode (20,000 mile
orbit, 200,000 kilometer range of destruction). Seems like switching
things back and forth like that would be confusing. |

|
| |
The cure not only stops
and reverses the aging process - it regrows hair of the proper color,
smooths out skin, regenerates lost cells, etc. |
| |
|
|
Sulu references the Enterprise's
previous battle with the Romulans in "Balance
of Terror". |
| |
|
|
The Romulan vessels fire plasma weapons
(as seen in "Balance
of Terror"), but when they hit the Enterprise they become photon
torpedoes. |
| |
|
|
Gamma Hydra IV would later be referenced
as the Enterprise's destination during the Kobayashi Maru
simulation in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". |
| |
|
|
First reference to hyronalin, a treatment
for radiation sickness, which would be used often in "Star
Trek: The Next Generation". |
| |
|
|
An old Dr. McCoy would
later been seen in "Encounter
at Farpoint", the pilot episode of "Star
Trek: The Next Generation". |
| |
|
|
Kirk, Mr. Spock, and
Dr. McCoy would later undergo rapid aging again in the "Star
Trek: The Animated Series" episode "The
Lorelei Signal". |
