message: I picked up a bit of trivia on a radio program a few years ago, which informed me of a little-known fact that Lucille Ball provided Gene Roddenberry with the initial funding to shoot, "Star Trek." This is confirmed on the TV Museum website. So, the comment in the Notes of this episode that the address of Gary Seven's office is 2 blocks farther offshore than the Ricardo's address in "I Love Lucy" probably is not entirely a coincidence.

thread_title: Lucille Ball's Involvement

message: Lucy ran Desilu, which employed Roddenberry to create shows for the studio. Star Trek was pitched to NBC which commissioned the pilots and then the series, putting up funds  for both (known as a Network Licensing Fee). Desilu (later Paramount) covered the rest of the costs, but Lucy did not fund Roddenberry or Star Trek per se.MrNeutronSF (talk) 02:15, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Not Quite re Lucy

message: I do not know myself, but I would think at least a few sentences about why the series wasn't developed into a full series might be valuable on this page.  Esprix (talk) 04:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cancellation 

message: What is the significance of 'original' in this episode? What makes this and those before different than "Spock's Brain" and what follows? Forgive the ignorance, I just can't tell.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.199.117 (talk) 19:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: There has been information presented in this page in various forms which falls under the umbrella of trivia.  An attempt has been made to present this information better by at least recognizing that it ties the fictional universe of the program into the real life universe by putting it under the heading "In Real Life."  That block of information was deleted, and I restored it with an undo.  The wikipedia guidelines suggest that simple lists of trivia should be avoided, but acknowledge that this does not suggest wholesale removal of trivia sections.  I would say that rather than removing trivia sections, an editor should at least attempt to retain suitable information in the article in some way.  However, my undo was effectively undone by a quick subsequent edit by the original deleter.  I am tempted to again simply undo that, but do not wish to start an edit war.  Comments?

replies: text: I am uncertain what this refers to.  But it has been pointed out that this episode contains a line from Mr. Spock, commenting on the chaotic nature of the era and informing Captain Kirk that "There will be an important assassination today."  Martin Luther King was assassinated a few days after the episode aired.THD3 (talk) 18:09, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia 

message: The article contains the sentence:
"Seven tells Kirk that he is a man taken from Earth over 6,000 years ago to an advanced world and there trained to intercede to help Earth survive."
Not sure where that came from.  There's nothing in the episode that I can find that references Seven being taken from Earth 6,000 years ago; nor anything in the transcript of the episode available at:

replies: text:  This comes from Gary Seven's explanation to his computer (not to Kirk) about what the mission of his (and his people) is, spoken to the computer to verify his identity (it is at about twelve and a half minutes into the episode). However, he himself is from the 20th century, a descendant of those people taken 6000 years before. — al-Shimoni (talk) 20:02, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seven taken from Earth 6,000 years ago? 

message: I removed the listed credit for Victori Vetri as the briefly-seen human form of Isis the cat because it is a fan-generated myth without any evidence or reliable citations to back it up. Furthemore, Vetri herself denies being on STAR TREK at all in a 2018 interview. 
"I was never in an episode of STAR TREK. I know that people think I was. I get pictures to sign and I had to write back and say, 'Hey, that's not me . . . " I am not sure who she was. Look close enough and you can see that she has blue eyes and I, of course, have brown. Whoever she was, she must not be around anymore as I am sure she would correct the mistake about me doing it, in all these articles."
LITTLE SHOPPE OF HORRORS magazine (October 2018, #41, p. 71)
"Sanna" by Michael Augustine Reed.
I added a section to the article addressing this and citing the source.

replies: text: Thanks so much to user:Zenasdude for finding the podcast identifying this actress. I literally scoured the internet and read a LOT of articles trying to find a hint as to who this was. It was a Star Trek mystery, of which there aren't many left. Looking at images of  April Tatro, it really looks like Isis and a more recent, color picture, shows she had blue eyes. I'm convinced! Kudos. StarHOG (Talk) 14:00, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Off  Topic: when I was in my early twenties, I happened to be talking to some woman, that resembled my image of the artificially ( AD&D I8 title image ) dream woman; I noticed a change in my voice; in 2015 I noticed the same change in the voice in a much younger woman => this is someone that wants me to create with her her future children. She is predestined to look like Isis/anthropoidform; my causal appearnce is likely to resemble McGoohan/theprisoner; I might therefore now guess who in my immediate vicinity ( universities, scientific institutes ) ... => google ... diy  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4DD7:EDD0:0:44B8:73CE:8E10:FAF7 (talk) 21:54, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

message: I propose removing the line 
 Morgan Jones as Col. Jack Nesvig
from the sidebar. No mention is given of references for this claim, and the only sources that I can find that confirm it are open wikis, and possibly have taken this from us. Classic citogenesis and possibly successful vandalism (I have yet to check this) if so.
See User talk:Andrewa#Morgan Jones for more on this.

replies: text: I know Memory Alpha's not an acceptable source, but it claims that Jones is credited at the end of the episode. I can probably check that at some point, but not until later this week. Please let me know if you'd like me to take a shot at it. DonIago (talk) 13:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
