Although, the 3rd epiosde made, usually it is shown much later in the series.

In this episode, almost all the familiar TOS characters are still developing. McCoy is the most different, lurking on the bridge rather than sickbay, appearing to be more of a psychologist than doctor.

Spock almost tells the Captain "I'm sorry" before his emotionless side kicks in, and he does shout about the overheating engines, this after telling Mr Bailey he is too emotional when he shouts.

Uhura just sits being a leggy attraction and saying "Hailing frequencies Open". Yeoman Janice Rand is simply a glorified maid, bringing the Captain his salad and coffee.

Spock talks about his mother and father in the past tense.

Good episode though, for all it's faults.

I'm watching it right now. Possibly the first time I was scared by something on television (apart from Daleks maybe) when I was a kid

The one thing that amazes me about that episode is how Clint Howard ( the baby) hasn't aged a day! He still looks exactly the same!!... lol
