Trivia / Star Trek S1 E7 "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"

Go To

  • Dyeing for Your Art: According to Sherry Jackson, William Shatner's chest had to be shaved for his nude scenes in the android machine.
  • Prop Recycling: Korby and his people are using the laser pistols from the first pilot. Also, on his file photo, Korby is wearing a turtleneck shirt from the pilots.
  • Sequel in Another Medium: This episode produced a sequel in the form of the novel Double, Double by Michael Jan Friedman. In it, another Brown android returns from an expedition, finds Korby and the others "dead," and creates a new Kirk android. The androids then again attempt to put Korby's plan into operation, taking over the Enterprise and Hood while arranging the removal of the original Kirk.
  • What Could Have Been: In Robert Bloch's original script, a wealthy socialite named Margo hired the Enterprise to look for Doctor Korby, whom she greatly admired. In his script re-writes, Gene Roddenberry felt the role would be better filled by Korby's wife or fiancée, which would play well with the doctor's alleged intimate relationship with Andrea and his emotional coldness. Finally, he wrote the part to feature Christine Chapel.
  • Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: The script of this episode was in such a bad shape, that Gene Roddenberry had to make revisions simultaneously with the filming of the episode, and shooting had to wait until new pages arrived.
  • You Look Familiar: Budd Albright (Rayburn) had appeared previously in an uncredited part as the ill-fated Crewman Barnhart in "The Man Trap".
