History Trivia / StarTrekS3E24TurnaboutIntruder

* OldShame: Janice Lester's line about Starfleet not admitting female captains was a ''major'' one for Creator/GeneRoddenberry. The notion that women would not be permitted to command vessels prior to the 2260s was eventually [[CanonDiscontinuity refuted]] in ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' with the character of Capt. Hernandez in the episode [[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS04E03Home "Home"]], and further blasted to hell by [[Series/StarTrekDiscovery Captain Georgiou]].

* BreakingNewsInterruption: The oriiginal airdate for this episode was pre-empted by the death of UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower. It didn't air until two months later.

* FixFic: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMasSzFXaKQ Embracing the Winds]]", episode 7 of the fan-created series ''Star Trek Continues'', explored the "women can't be starship captains" theme. They played it absolutely straight, showing that while qualified women were certainly accepted in positions of high authority in Starfleet, they hadn't been permitted to be ''starship'' captains, largely because of objections from the Tellarites, one of the founding races of the Federation. Tellarite society frowns on females being starship captains -- especially the top of the line Constitution-class starships -- although Starfleet has plenty of female captains in lesser capacities. The episode concluded with the new Tellarite Ambassador (since the death of Gav in "Journey to Babel") revealing that there was a movement on his world to change that, and he was part of it.

* WagTheDirector: Creator/WilliamShatner clashed with Director Herb Wallerstein, when Wallerstein wanted Kirk to exit a scene via what was established as a wall. Shat joked that Wallerstein wanted to eject him into the vacuum of space, since it was the final episode.

* RealitySubtext: The episode was written while Creator/GeneRoddenberry was reeling from the effects of a nasty divorce, hence Janice Lester's portrayal as a hysterical ex-lover out to ruin Kirk for her own benefit.
