Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWilliam Campbell's first wig was a French hairpiece. He demanded that an English barrister's wig be found to fit his character. William Shatner complained that precious production time is going to be wasted for something he found to be a minor and unimportant detail. Director Don McDougall didn't want a conflict with the series star, so he called producer Gene L. Coon to the set to arbitrate the matter. Coon decided in favor of Campbell, and filming was halted until the English wig was found.
- GoofsThere seems to be some confusion as to the pronunciation of Lt. Jaeger's surname. Spock pronounces the name in the German manner, i.e. "Yay-ger", but later on, McCoy and DeSalle both use the "J"" pronunciation, i.e. "Jay-ger". However, this is not uncommon. Many European names are mispronounced by English-speaking people, bit the fastidious Spock is more likely to pronounce them properly.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits are set against a combination background of stills from that episode and previous episodes.

Featured review
One of the best twilight zone episodes
One of the best twilight zone episodes. Imagine if you will, a petulant man in a museum size doll house. He plays his guests in a game where only he knows the rules. This episode is mental fun representative of those shows where everything takes place in the mind. It reminds us that very little scenery is necessary to carry a good story. It's easy to appreciate the 2006 visual updates when Spock performs his signaling maneuver.
