The broadcast version has scenes deleted to shorten the running time, so I can't recall if there's an exterior shot of the Enterprise returning with Starfleet. If there were, it would make sense to show 2-6 Constitution class starships (if one's close enough, it could be shown to be any one of the Constellation (Matt Decker), Intrepid, Lexington (Bob Wesley), Exeter (Ron Tracey), Defiant, Hood, Excalibur or Potempkin. A few destroyers (perhaps an earlier version of the design of the U.S.S. Reliant) and some battle craft would also be logical parts of the Starfleet force. GBC15:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Enterprise leaves Organia alone at the end of this episode - although the remaster shows several Klingon ships attacking, the Enterprise was the only Starfleet ship ever shown. They didn't add any others to the remaster which is a let down in my opinion. Cyberia2320:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This episode would appear to reflect an inconsistency with the Prime Directive, in that the Organians---presumably a culture without warp drive, noted as having a "D minus" level culture by Spock at the start of the episode---would fall under the non-interference mandate of the Directive. Suggest making a note to this effect in the article. Lexy-lou (talk) 23:07, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You do realize that the Klingons already interfered when they attacked the planet, right?
Sometimes, Great Powers have to decide between purity of purpose...and survival. Here, survival matters more. And the cat was out of the bag. In the end, the Organians were a greater force than anyone realized. 216.144.161.51 (talk) 18:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Chesspride[reply]
