*ARENA*
Kirk fights a reptilian captain on an asteroid that looks nothing like Southern California.
Shatner suffers from tinnitus to this day because of the cannon explosion.
Ted Cassidy returns as the voice of the Gorn. As I mentioned previously, the same designer of the Gorn costume would later create the Sleestak costumes for Land of the Lost.
The Metron was depicted by a female actress and a male voice - I would argue one of the earliest examples of overt "androgyny" depicted on U.S. television. Carole Shelyne was the actress and the voice was provided by Vic Perrin - who later does the voice for Nomad in The Changeling and in a live role, plays the leader of the Halkan Council in Mirror, Mirror.

Saw this in a science fiction English class at LSU that was focused solely on astronomy based sci-fi. It's loosely based on the short story by the same name written by Frederic Brown which is worth a read if you're into that type of literature.

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.

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.

Is this the episode referenced in The Cable Guy during the Medieval Times scene?
