Those were some pretty intense blasts! MA says Nimoy and Kelley also suffered hearing damage.

Another episode where Kirk is obsessed with his enemy and revenge for Cestus III, which gives the ending even more meaning.

First mention of the Federation.

I thought the Gorn costume was very well done and is still a menacing sight.

The Metron was depicted by a female actress and a male voice


Which is a simple and effective way to make the character seem more alien. They did this more than once. The Talosians were women, and there may be more examples.

That's a good point - they were women actresses, but portrayed more or less as genderless. I guess I wasn't paying attention.

In any event, the Metron does appear to be an early example of overt androgyny, though - I stand by that.
