| 1 | * ActingForTwo: Malachi Throne not only plays Commodore Mendez, he also voiced the Keeper in the original pilot. To prevent confusion, Throne's vocal track was electronically pitched up for this version. |
| 2 | * CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Creator/GeneRoddenberry named this two-parter as one of his ten favourite episodes. |
| 3 | * TheOtherDarrin: The disfigured Pike was played by Sean Kenney rather than Creator/JeffreyHunter, as Hunter was neither available nor affordable. Pike's disfiguring scars were designed to hide the fact that this trope was in play. |
| 4 | * PropRecycling: The panel in the room from which Spock issues orders to the Enterprise is a re-use of the neural neutralizer control panel from "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E9DaggerOfTheMind Dagger of the Mind]]". |
| 5 | * RealLifeWritesThePlot: At this point in the series' production, delays in some of the special effects shots were causing dangerous ScheduleSlip, bad enough that they were risking not having episodes completed in time for their scheduled air dates. It was decided that making a two-parter, mainly using footage from the already-complete but never-broadcast pilot episode, and shooting wrap-around segments in studio, would get two episodes completely relatively quickly and give them breathing room to finish other episodes in time for broadcast. |
| 6 | * RecycledSet: The Starbase Operations set is a redress of the engineering room set. An opaque blue wall has been placed behind the grid to hide the forced perspective set. |
| 7 | * WorkingTitle: ''From the First Day to the Last''. |
