* TroubledProduction: Despite Creator/TheodoreSturgeon being credited for the script, the draft he produced was apparently just too bizarre and demanding in budgetary terms. Successive attempts at rewrites by Gene L Coon and Gene Roddenberry were sufficiently unsuccessful that Roddenberry was still working on the scripts as the episode was being filmed on location. The script issues meant that filming overran by a day, and the pressure on the director Robert Sparr caused him to somewhat neglect the cast, causing them to refuse to work with him again despite the good impression he made on the producers.

* ThrowItIn: When Sulu sees Spock materializing, he says "Someone is beaming down from the bridge!". This is an accidental flub from Creator/GeorgeTakei's part, which went unnoticed by the production staff, and wasn't even dubbed over in post-production. In the script, Sulu's line was "Someone is beaming down from the ship!"

An elephant was indeed "hired" by the production staff and brought to the set, but due to running overtime and other difficulties during shooting, the animal never made it before the cameras - which made associate producer Robert H. Justman (who was not on the set at the time and couldn't oversee production) truly angry. Later, production staff members often jokingly asked assistant director Gregg Peters, "Say - when do you get to use your elephant?"
