The command chair was a fun piece of trivia. Of course, Sulu had been in command before, but I never thought about him actually getting the chair.I never knew before the Cushman book that NBC actually asked for one more episode than they were able to deliver. I felt strangely cheated at the knowledge...of the three extra episodes made, two were Errand of Mercy and The City on the Edge of Forever. What might that extra one have been? (Yeah, I read the memos on prepared scripts. It probably would just have been Amok Time, but I can dream...)That joke about asking Coon from which planet Klingons hail is funny. But the name really jumped out and now we have Klingon operas, so I hope Gene Coon is laughing somewhere. My biggest surprise in this chapter was just at reading Justman's low regard for the episode. Just shows that almost no episode is universally well-regarded.
