Revision as of 21:08, 7 January 2007
Quotes
The list of memorable quotes appears far too long for them all to be memorable. Many of them are entire scenes of dialogue. I believe some should be removed. Jaz talkFile:United Federation of Planets logo.png 18:50, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- I removed a bunch of the quotes, and corrected the remaining ones. Skold 18:58, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Text removed, citations needed
I removed the following bits of text for the reasons stated below:
- Norman Spinrad was displeased with the model used for the berserker-- he envisioned a doomsday machine bristling with all sorts of evil-looking weapons. Considering the challenging effects and set budget for this episode, the weapon turned out pretty well.
- Removed second sentence: opinion, let the viewer draw his/her own conclusion. Also, needs to be cited.
- William Windom most notably played the prosecutor opposite Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch in the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird. Windom's prop in that film was a pencil, which he toyed with while cross-examining witnesses.
- Belongs in Windom's article, if anywhere; no real relation to this episode.
- Vulcans never bluff.
- I don't know if this is true or not, but to be kept, it needs to be fleshed out a bit more than this, and cited.
Several other statements need citations as well, and were marked as such.

Spinrad's displeasure with the model of the doomsday machine is mentioned in David Gerrold's making of "The Trouble With Tribbles" book. Not up to speed on how to put this info on the page, sorry.
I've also heard the story of Spinrad pushing for Robert Ryan as Decker, but forget where I read it. Sir Rhosis 20:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Removed second sentence of:
- Sol Kaplan's suspenseful "countdown" music, written for this episode, was re-used (some would say overused) in many second season episodes. Was this music the inspiration for John Williams' award winning two-note-based music in "Jaws"?
...as it's purest speculation, and not related to this ep. &mdashSpider 21:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
Berserker?
Changed references to "berserker" to read "planet killer". The device is never called a berserker in the ep, and it doesn't really fit the definition of the word. If the description comes from a script or other source, it needs to be cited.
