The "it's green" gag from this episode would later be used in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Relics" where Scotty asks Data about a bottle of whiskey to which Data replies "it is green".
   
When Rojan reduces Chekov, the helm/navigation console is facing the engineering station, not the main viewscreen as it should.
   
The Kelvans come from the Andromeda galaxy. Gene Roddenberry had written a format for a television series in 1976 called "Andromeda", which eventually became a series in 2000 entitled "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda."
   
In the wide shots of Kirk and Rojan fighting, the faces of the stunt doubles can be seen.
   
Kirk moves his eyes and Uhura blinks when they're paralyzed, despite the fact that Rojan neutralizes "nerve impulses to the voluntary muscles."
   
When Scotty gets drunk and tosses an empty bottle away, there's a dubbed in sound of glass breaking, but when he collapses, the bottle is unbroken at his feet
