James Doohan (Scotty) and John Fiedler (Mr. Hengist) were good friends in real life. They died within less than a month of each other in 2005. | John Winston (Mr. Kyle) also played the Argelian bartender in the opening scene. | Scotty (James Doohan) would later refer to the events of this episode in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics". He described the fact that he was accused of murdering three women in cold blood as being "a wee bit of trouble". |

Spock: An entity which feeds on fear and terror would find a perfect hunting ground on Argelius, a planet without violence, where the inhabitants are as peaceful as sheep. The entity would be as a hungry wolf in that fold. | Kirk: What would the life form do in a tranquilized body?
McCoy: Well, it might take up knitting--nothing more violent than that. | Kirk: Well, Mr. Spock for the next five or six hours we're going to have the happiest crew in space... of course, we won't get much work done.
Spock: Captain – since you came to Argelius to rest, I suggest you take advantage of the opportunity.
Kirk: That's a splendid idea, Mr. Spock. I know a cafe where the women are so...
McCoy: I know the place, Jim!
Scotty: Let's go see!
Kirk: You gentlemen? In your condition? Don't be ridiculous. Mr. Spock, this cafe has women that are so... no, I guess not. |

What Changed in the Remastered Episode
This outing shows relatively few changes beyond the general upgrades all episodes get. The most obvious are the new CGI version of Argelius with what may be a spaceport visible from space, and the new model Enterprise. |
