Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPolycythemia is a real disease in which the body produces too many red blood cells and is not, by itself fatal. Xenopolycythemia would be an alien (xeno- = foreign, alien) variation of the disease. It is revealed Dr. McCoy is suffering from xenopolycythmia.
- GoofsWhen Spock is thumbing through the Book of the Fabrini, although Kirk asks whether it is indexed, and Spock says yes, in fact all pages can clearly be seen to be blank until he reaches the pages he wants.
- Quotes
Dr. McCoy: [as an old man enters the room] Gentlemen, I believe we have a visitor.
Old Man: [bows, then passes out bits of herbs] For strength. Many of us have felt the power of our Oracle. This has been of benefit.
Dr. McCoy: Tastes like an ancient herb derivative.
Old Man: You are... not of Yonada.
Captain James T. Kirk: No, we're from outside your world.
Old Man: Where... is outside?
Captain James T. Kirk: Up there. Outside, up there, everywhere.
Old Man: So they say, also.
Old Man: [winces in pain] Many years ago, I climbed the mountains, even though it is forbidden.
[winces again]
Captain James T. Kirk: Why is it forbidden?
Old Man: I am not sure.
Old Man: [another wince] But things are not as they teach us. For the world is hollow, and I have touched the sky!
