Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLeonard Nimoy was asked to allow his children to appear as extras but Nimoy refused to let his children be involved in show business. His son, Adam Nimoy, did grow up to become a television director, including a few episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).
- GoofsSpock states that he and the guards could not even get close to the stray children because they knew the area too well. His tricorder should have been able to locate them in seconds since there were no other humanoid lifeforms present. It would have been a simple matter to locate Yeoman Rand with a tricorder as well.
- Quotes
Yeoman Rand: That little girl...
Mr. Spock: ...is at least three hundred years older than you are, Yeoman.

Featured review
No blah, blah blah !!!
After reading some of the reviews, I see what I may have failed to previously consider in terms of the quality of the script and the acting in this episode. But, to be honest, I just never liked this one and always found it drab, slow and dull and the kid actors, extremely annoying. Never center a script around kids because they can't act; this one is no exception. I have to admit, though that as sci-fi drama, this is in fact a very good episode. I just never cared for it and found it hard to watch.
Kim Darby is very good in the lead role as the adolescent on the verge of womanhood - and death as it turns out, because of the disease. Michael J. Pollard's typical weirdness fits perfectly in this developmentally-warped environment. I'd say that the premise and the script are both very strong and the acting is as good as any we've seen in TOS.
The interplay between Spock and McCoy and also between Kirk and Yeoman Rand is entertaining. Its really a shame that G. L. Whitney was written out of the series, supposedly because of a sexual assault allegation against a network executive. Had she been able to stay, I'm sure she would have gone on to solidify her position as one of the main cast figures of TOS, like Sulu, Urhura, Checkov or Chapel.
