| − | I don't believe referring to Ron Veto's orderly character as "Harrison" is correct-- the laughter heard on the speaker in act 4 of the episode is the same as the wild cackling of John Bellah in the hallway earlier-- the laughing crewman and Dr. Harrison are one and the same, in my view. |

||
| − | :Bellah's character is seen laughing in a corridor. Later in the episode McCoy pages Harrison on the intercom and the same laughter is heard, there's the connection. I don't recall the word "doctor" ever being used though, he could've simply been a techician on duty in the lab. |
||
| − | :Ron Veto's character is also named Harrison, as per "Space Seed". --[[User:Myko|Myko]] 12:39, 4 Apr 2005 (EDT) |
||
| − | |||
| − | You are right-- I don't believe he ever was ''called'' a doctor in the show. However, the connection is there between Harrison and the laughing crewman. |
||
| − | I ''think'', however, that Bjo Trimble's Concordance lists him as "Dr. Harrison"-- her cast lists come from the studio records. Whether that makes them "canon" or not is up for debate, since the credits often make mistakes with spelling and so on. |
||
| − | |||
| − | I checked: the old Concordance calls him Dr. Harrison, credited to John Bellah. The new Concordance calls him Lab Technician Harrison and says "unknown." Whether Dr. Harrison was Bjo's editorial decison or not I cannot say. |

| − | ==Leonard's mistake== |
||
| − | |||
| − | * I've restored my comment about Leonard Nimoy's gaffe concerning Eddie Paskey's character name. It is perfectly clear that he says "Rand." The "d" at the end is clearly pronounced, and no long "y" sound is to be heard. Also, watch Nimoy's lips (slo-mo on your DVD player), and you can easily see what he is saying. I first noticed this twenty years ago, and modern digital stereo makes it even clearer. Grace Lee Whitney would be at the helm in a different scene and Leonard just made a little boo-boo. Since the character had only a few lines of dialogue, it wasn't deemed worth a re-take or no one noticed it at the time. For those of you who want to verify, it's at 18:19 in the episode.- Kurt of North Bend |

| − | ==Black collared uniforms== |
||
| − | ;Removed : ''This episode shows the black collar of the crew's uniform is formed by a black undershirt worn beneath, as we can see with Spock and Tormolen in sickbay. In later episodes, the collar just seems to be sewn onto the shirt. Perhaps this change occured when the early veleur uniforms were discontinued because of their shrinkage problems. |
||
| − | |||
| − | This episode shows exactly the opposite. While Spock and Tormolen wear black undershirts, they both put on uniforms that already have black collars... |
||
| − | |||
| − | To compound this, Kirks shirt gets ripped wide open -- there is no black undershirt (must be optional), and the black collar is plainly attached to his tunic. -- [[User:Captainmike|Captain M.K.B.]] 16:55, 13 April 2006 (UTC) |

| − | ==Contrapunct Dialog== |
||
| − | This episode has a brilliant use of contrapunct dialog. Contrapunct dialog is where the two interlocutors converse on different topics. It happens in this episode while Kirk is trying to persuade Spock to work on the intermix equations for the cold start of the engines. What makes this instance so interesting is that Kirk and Spock swap sides in the middle of the conversation, making for a kind of chiastic effect. |

| − | == Background notes == |
||
| − | |||
| − | This epsisode now receives my treatment: |
||
| − | * This otherwise excellent episode has one of the silliest logic errors in the entire series: as Scott cuts through the bulkhead with a phaser to get to the engineering room door controls, with time running out, Spock comes along on the captain's orders to induce him to speed up. Scott then ''stops using the phaser'' to tell him that even if they were under attack, he couldn't move any faster! |
||
| − | |||
| − | I have removed this one. It is poorly written. |
||
| − | * Although the recreation room scene ends tragically, it is quite amusing as Sulu and Riley first walk in. Sulu the hobbyist has been trying to interest the navigator in his personal hobbies, botany and fencing, without much success. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Removed. This possibly belongs in the summary, but I don't think that background notes are where "funny" scenes get listed. --[[User:OuroborosCobra|OuroborosCobra]] 01:28, 2 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | |||
| − | == Removed text == |
||
| − | |||
| − | I removed the following text: |
||
| − | * Riley's call for "''universal'' suffrage" is a clever pun. The term referred to gaining equal rights, particularly voting rights, for women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Riley's use of the term is particularly appropriate on a galaxy-traveling starship. |
||
| − | First of all, "[[dictionary:suffrage|suffrage]]" is defined as the right to vote, period - it isn't restricted to "women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries". Second, perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see a clever (or even a non-clever) pun here. If I'm off base here, please feel free to replace the entry, edited for the correct definition of suffrage. -- [[User:Renegade54|Renegade54]] 19:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | I'm not the one who posted it, and in fact I agree with you removing it. Just wanted to add that I think whoever posted it was trying to riff on the word "universal," i. e. the Enterprise is traveling through the universe, perhaps bringing voting rights to backward worlds. Now say, "Ha Ha." :D [[User:Sir Rhosis|Sir Rhosis]] 19:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | The following was also removed: |
||
| − | * A potential sequel for this episode written in [[May 1967]] by [[John D.F. Black]] was eventually rewritten some twenty years later to become {{TNG|The Naked Now}}. |
||
| − | "The Naked Time" was, indeed, going to be a two-part episode, but the second part was essentially {{e|Tomorrow is Yesterday}}. I am unaware of any reference indicating that Black recycled the "potential sequel"--[[User:GNDN|GNDN]] 02:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC) |

Revision as of 00:49, 20 May 2007

In the episode synopsis, it says that the planet being observed is much like Earth in its past... but it's going to be imploding.
