MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: As Uhura lounges by the water, her reflection is missing both rank stripes and the familiar "arrowhead" insignia.
CHAR: Spock says the Queen of Hearts appears in Through the Looking Glass. She actually appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
FAKE: For about one second, the harnesses on Arex and Sulu "jump" off their bodies. Evidently the animation plate slipped out of alignment during the shot.
CONT: There are a number of changed premises between _"Star Trek: Shore Leave (#1.15)" (1966)_ and this episode. In "Shore Leave" the Keeper was not the last of his race, he only mentioned that he didn't think the crew was ready to meet the others. The planet was not made for outside space travelers but for the Keeper's race to use.
CONT: Sulu can be seen on the bridge of the Enterprise while he's on the planet. In fact, he suddenly replaces the man filling in at his station when the angle changes.

TRIVIA

Marks the first appearance of something many Star Trek fans have said the bridge crew need: seatbelts! They wouldn't appear in live-action until a deleted scene in Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)... more than 30 years later.
