The Enterprise investigates the disappearance of its fellow starship the U.S.S. Defiant. Kirk takes a team over and they find the entire crew dead, having killed each other in fits of madness. The Defiant starts to vanish and everyone but Kirk makes it back before it disappears for good. Spock orders the Enterprise to stay in the area to attempt a recovery, but the crystalline Tholians launch an attack and the Enterprise crew start to experience the same madness that destroyed the Defiant crew.

| Although they were mentioned numerous times on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the Tholians would not appear on Star Trek again until the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Future Tense", almost 35 years later.
| This is the only episode in which Spock (Leonard Nimoy) refers to Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) as "Bones," albeit indirectly (he quotes Kirk).
| The original title of this episode was "In Essence - Nothing".
| The series was nominated for an Emmy Award for the special effects in this episode.
| The Japanese title of this episode, translated into English, is "Crisis of Captain Kirk Who Was Thrown into Different Dimensional Space".
| When Captain Kirk's "ghost" appears on the bridge, he is mouthing the words "Hurry, Spock!"
| In one shot in this episode, James Doohan's hair is noticeably different than in the remainder.
|
| |
| Captain Kirk: (from his final orders to Spock and Dr. McCoy) I believe you have those qualities, but if you can't find them in yourself...seek out McCoy. Ask his advice. And, if you find it sound, take it...Bones, you just heard what I told Spock. Help him in any way you can, but always remember that he is the captain...
|

| It is extremely convenient that Dr. McCoy just happens to arrive on the bridge immediately after Chekov explodes with anger.
| When he and Dr. McCoy tell Captain Kirk that they never viewed his "final" orders, Spock is clearly lying. However, Vulcans are incapable of lying, as mentioned in numerous previous episodes.
| When Chekov screams and Spock tries to get through to him, the camera goes to a close-up of Chekov and you hear him screaming, but his mouth isn't open.

| The Defiant is the fourth of four Constellation-class starships that are destroyed during the course of the original series, although it will be seen again, although ironically in the past, on Star Trek: Enterprise.

| What Changed in the Remastered Version: The Defiant received a very nice CGI upgrade, especially including the scenes of its slow departure from normal space, depicted here as sections of the ship phasing in and out - far superior to the original shot, clearly created by using a dimmer to illuminate the model. The actual web and the Tholian ships received CGI upgrades; in a nod to consistency, the crew used the Tholian model from Enterprise for both. Somewhat disappointingly, the effects of McCoy's hand passing through a corpse and a table were not altered, although it's questionable how much could be done. Also unchanged were Kirk's fade-ins and fade-outs as he attempted to communicate with the crew. Perhaps the greatest disappointment was the failure to replace Loskene with a Tholian model similar to that used in the final season of Enterprise but costs may have been a factor.
