Summary: Kirk negotiates with the highly honor-bound natives of Capella 4 to obtain mining rights. The Klingons interfere in the tribe's politics and attempt to secure their own deal.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: SPOILER: After Kirk and Spock use the transmitters to create a cascade of rocks we can see some boulders shift position nearly the end of the rockslide, due to a cut that skips some frames.
FAKE: A rarely-used shot of the Enterprise from its right-front side. If you look closely, you can see the ship's registry is backwards, which would indicate a flipped shot.
CONT: When Maab announces that Akaar is dead, Kirk is standing by Kras (Klingon). But the reaction shot has him standing alone, then the wider shot shows Kirk next to him.
CONT: SPOILER: When Kirk is fighting a Capellan guard to save Akaar's wife, there is a series of sudden cuts that disrupt continuity.

TRIVIA

Upon receiving the script, associate and supervising producer 'Bob Justman' shouted, "Ah Capella!" and burst into song, to much laughter. The story is centered around a planet named Capella.
The title is based upon the childhood nursery rhyme that includes: Friday's child is loving and giving.
