* RecycledScript: The premise of this episode shares some similarities to [[Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed "Space Seed"]], as it features the Enterprise encountering an ancient, derelict spacecraft with cryogenically frozen humans from Earth in the 1990s, and then reviving the occupants whose chambers had not failed. (Of course, these occupants prove to be much easier for the crew to deal with, relatively speaking, than Khan Noonien Singh was).
