Trivia
This episode was not broadcast in the United Kingdom for many years due to the BBC deeming its content of the away team being beaten up by children being too scary for its time slot. It was finally shown on the BBC for the first time as part of a complete re-run of the series in the 1990s and nowadays is present in all re-runs of the show. See more...

Deliberate "mistake": Special effects of the ship in space were very expensive in the 60s and couldn't be wasted. So when a larger model was built with slightly different nacelles, shots of both versions became common, even within the same episode. This is why the Enterprise sometimes had red needle-tipped nacelles and sometimes lighted "spinning" ones, and in aft views she had either round white balls or perforated vents at the nacelles' ends.
Plot hole: "The Cage": Pike says he doesn't want women on his bridge, Number One being the one and only exception, and he keeps ordering Colt off it. His apology to Number One indicates that A)he doesn't think of her as female, and B)she's the only exception to his rule. So how does he overlook the very female crew-woman seated at the science station?
