Factoids
- Gotta love the cost cutting tactics in this episode, what with the invisible ship, saving them from needing a ship model, and the destruction of Cheron which is actually stock video from World War II.

Remarkable Scenes
- Kirk's first conversation with Lokai. I love how blatantly hostile Kirk is. Granted, Kirk's being totally unfair, but it's still great to watch.
- Kirk playing mediator.
- I love the scene where the auto destruct sequence was being set. There's some nice camera work in that scene.
- Kirk: "Mr. Spock, is this ship headed for Ariannus?" Spock: "Negative, captain. The Enterprise is now moving in a circular course." Scotty: "And at warp 10 we're going nowhere mighty fast."
- Chekov: "There was persecution on Earth once. I remember reading about it in my history class."
- Seeing Cheron a dead planet.
- Spock: "All that matters to them is their hate." Uhura: "Do you suppose that's all they ever had, sir?" Kirk: "No. But that's all they have left."

My Review
This episode is very obvious satire for the black vs white racism in the real world, which is not to this episode's disadvantage because it displays the ridiculousness of racism. Nitpicking: The man chasing Lokai said he'd been at it for some 50,000 years. Why did he act with such impatience while aboard the Enterprise? If he's been at it that long, why not wait another few days for the Enterprise to complete her mission? His continual takeovers of the ship started to get predictable and boring. Also, I like the camera work in this episode mostly; especially the scene where the auto destruct sequence was being engaged. But what's with the camera zooming in and out on the red alert light? It's nauseating and serves no purpose. It pleased me that Cheron was a dead world, destroyed by racism. It matched the overzealous racism displayed by the guests. Overall, the episode was a bit unrealistic, but its ideologies were high, especially for its time, and I praise it for that.
