Well don't forget she has no idea who Chekov is since he's not introduced until season 2. Barbara Babcock does the voice of Trelane's mother; you'll see/hear her six more times throughout the Original Series. Trelane was actually the inspiration for a certain character that appears throughout TNG, DS9, and VOY played by John de Lancie. In fact, a Star Trek novel explains that Trelane is one of their species.

Thanks for the reminder. Lol I smell Communism. You're so awesome. Also is that flounder in the background? This episode is really fun. That scene where h shouts "guilty!" Reminds me of an old movie called The Phantom Tollbooth. Taught me what a humbug was as a child, has a Tom and Jerry style animation. Anyway there's a cop, also a judge there who constantly cries "Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!" Let's just say it sounds similar. This is also one of the episodes I point to when people say they don't like Star Trek Voyager. But then this series inspires a lot of future works. On voices, I was too busy trying to figure out the female voice and my brain imploded hehe. But yeah, I'm hoping it's just a random image he picked, like when I grow up, just creepy otherwise. But interesting villain.

2020-05-05 09:34:04 +0000 UTCIt's never explained in the show why Rand left. Sadly, back in the '60s, it wasn't all that uncommon for supporting characters to just be gone one week, never to return with no explanation. A Star Trek novel called "The Captain's Daughter" does explain that she ended up getting pregnant and decided to resign from Starfleet in order to raise her baby on Earth with the child's father, her new husband. Sadly, her daughter, Annie, would die after two years from an unspecified illness, which would lead to Janice and her husband divorcing. Janice would eventually return to Starfleet after four more years. Scotty is chief engineer while McCoy is chief medical officer. There are at least two doctors aboard the Enterprise. McCoy was sent because Spock assumed that either Kirk or Sulu would need medical attention, however, with a meteorologist in the party in Jaeger, there wasn't much of a need for a science officer in Spock, and definitely no need for an engineer to fix anything. The Original Series never once used blue screen effects. All the space shots were originally done using models while the viewscreen was simply gray and they added in the star field during editing. Note that with the exception of a couple episodes which you haven't seen yet, you'll never see a character walk in front of the viewscreen. Blue screen was first developed all the way back in the '30s, although with the exception of weather forecasts, it didn't start to be used regularly in television until the '70s. Yes, that was in fact a salt vampire from 1x2 "The Man Trap" that Trelane had on display. Note McCoy doing a double-take when he first sets eyes on it for obvious reasons. In 1804, former Treasury Secretary Hamilton helped to prevent Vice President Aaron Burr from winning the election for Governor of New York. Burr demanded an apology from Hamilton claiming that his honor had been attacked. Hamilton declined claiming that he had never insulted Burr in his letters and editorials. Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel, where he shot and killed him (Hamilton's shot missed). Kirk's entire plan was to simply stall for time and let the Enterprise escape. "Tallyho" is a cry given out by huntsman upon spotting the prey of the day, typically a fox. The voice of Trelane's father was actually done by the late voice actor, Bart LaRue, not Leonard Nimoy. Trelane's species is never named in the series, although they are a race of beings made of pure energy. Trelane was indeed a child, at least by their standards, but their race can change their appearance into literally anything they want. Trelane was played by the late William Campbell, who was 43 at the time of filming this episode.
