3x19 Requiem for Methuselah

Episode Quotes

Mistakes/Goofs

• Goof (crew or equipment visible): When M4 turns over the processed Rhyetalyn to McCoy, the wire suspending the robot model can be clearly seen.
• Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): The sheet music for Flint's Johannes Brahms waltz, which we see in a close-up, does not correspond to the waltz Spock has played.
• Goof (miscellaneous): After the Enterprise is shrunk Kirk looks into the ship through the view screen and can apparently see the bridge crew, frozen in time. The view screen is not a window, rather it displays sensor data in a way that looks like a picture.
• Goof (continuity error): In the wide bridge shot of the "frozen" Enterprise, the crew is motionless, but the panel lights are still running. However, when the shot changes to the viewscreen, both the lights and the crew are frozen.
• Goof (factual errors): SPOILER: The main view screen on the bridge is apparently a large monitor as it is often used to show magnified or demagnified views of other ships or switched to show video communications with members of other ships' crews. However, when the Enterprise is reduced and placed on Flint's table, Kirk bends over and peers into the bridge as if it is simply a window.

Trivia

• The last name of Rayna Kapec is an anagram of the last name of Karel Capek, the Czech author who popularized the term "robot".
• Mr. Flint invites Kirk, Spock and Bones to his palace, which is the same as seen from afar in "Star Trek" (1966) {The Cage (#1.0)}: an Eastern palace with blue details, golden rooftops, a giant moon or other planet in the background left and a smaller, Saturn-like planet left of that. In The Cage this is the stage for the fight between Captain Pike and the monster.
