MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: Ground-level shots of the planet show a red-orange sky, yet clouds are shown forming in a bright blue sky.
FAKE: When Kirk and Spock are kneeling in the bushes watching the villagers feed Vol, at one point, for a few seconds, one of the villagers is transparent, as if his image was superimposed into the scene.

TRIVIA

This episode contains confirmation of a much-speculated upon topic: whether the Enterprise could separate the Engineering section and warp nacelles from the primary vessel. Mentioned in Kirk and Scotty's conversation by communicator, shortly after Kirk beams down to the planet with an away team, and Scotty takes a seat in the captain's chair on the bridge.
