* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Jermoe Bixby's original script was much darker than the filmed episode. The Kelvans (then called the Dvenyens) executed ten Enterprise crewmembers by opening the shuttlebay doors and letting them get blown out into space. Kirk was put through "hellish torture". Also, crewmembers were chosen to mate with each other (Kirk was paired with Yeoman Leslie Thompson) to eventually breed slaves to the Kelvans. NBC objected against all these, which led producer Gene Coon to order a heavy rewrite on the material. The production staff also deemed the mating aspect too similar to "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage The Cage]]".

Removed the last trivia item as I couldn't find any verifying sources about this for her (or any other actress in the episode)

* The actress playing Drea felt that she was too fat and was very self-conscious in her barely-there jumpsuit. It didn't help when the cameramen put the camera directly under her ass as she went up the steps on the bridge, saying "let's get this." She's been anorexic ever since.

You don't get "sucked" out into space any more than quadrotriticale is "wheat".

* DolledUpInstallment: The basis of this episode can be found in Creator/GeneRoddenberry's first ever produced science fiction script, "The Secret Weapon of 117" for Chevron Hall of Stars in 1956. The episode featured a pair of aliens (the male played by Creator/RicardoMontalban) who disguise themselves as Humans to study Earth people and get overwhelmed by the sensations and experiences of their new host bodies, and decide to remain Human.
