Watching this as a kid, I found the episode ridiculous because of the constant singing. But as an adult looking past the music, I find the message of runaway technology smothering us to be appropriate for any era.

Bones frustration and fear of the transporter as well as wanting (although secretly loathing the medical equipment of the past "cutting open with needles and sutures") the simple life of a country Doctor. He also will later not hold back about being surrounded by more technology in the upcoming Star Trek The Motion Picture to Kirk.

The theme and message is quite a different matter from execution. I still think this is a bad episode.

It's the Tholian model with warp pods attached.

Some might say this is where Star Trek jumped the shark. But you ain't seen nothin yet.

Originally Chekov's love interest was supposed to named Joanna, and was McCoy's estranged daughter, but it got rewritten.

this was 4 months before the eventfull august of 69, when woodstock, manson family, and the moon landing all took place.

That idea was vetoed because it was felt that McCoy wasn't old enough to have a daughter close to Kirk's age which wasn't true. Besides, Kirk was hitting on Miri for cripe sake.

I remember the moon landing and being deeply disturbed by Manson's insane face on the front page of the newspaper.

I've always hated this episode and can't watch it all. My parents were kind of hippies and I grew up in the Haight_Ashbury. This one seems so critical of the movement. I wonder, also, if the men were supposed to represent Hari Krisnas? We saw a lot of them in San Francisco.

I wonder if Herbert was inspired by Herb Solow, a Desilu exec who among other things got NBC to give Trek the green light. He also co-authored a great book about the show with Robert Justman.

Yup- but moon landing was July:). I never forgot watching the nightly news at 11 PM when the aerial shot of Cielo Drive came on, and they announced what the Mansons had done there. I was a fan of Sharon Tate’s, especially her comedic turn in the Dean Martin, Matt helm, movie, The Wrecking Crew. I love Quentin Tarantino’s movie,Once Upon a Time in Hollywood where things didn’t turn out that way and the Manson clan, looking to murder that night, instead died Quentin Tarantino style. You can see the actual footage of Sharon Tate from the wrecking crew in that movie as Margot Robbie playing Sharon Tate ducks in to the Hollywood theatre to watch the movie. It was such a cute scene Would that someone could make it so.

Either him or Herb Wallerstien, an unpopular director among the cast and crew. Wallerstein's life ended bizarrely when he was stabbed to death by his cleaning lady who later claimed he tried to sexually assault her.

I forgot about that Herb. I recall years ago reading somewhere that Shatner and Wallerstein argued on The Turnabout Intruder set about the hysterical Lester/Kirk storming out of the briefing room. Wallerstein wanted Shatner to exit the room opposite where the door was. Shatner replied the fans knew there was no door there. He also said that even though this was the last episode did he really want Kirk to die in the icy cold of space by going thru the bulkhead? Shatner lost. That was from one of David Gerrold's books, wasn't it? Haven't read them in prolly 35 years.
