Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis marks the only appearance of the female Starfleet dress uniform during The Original Series, worn by Lt. Areel Shaw (Joan Marshall). Key differences between this uniform and the standard female uniform are a satin-like sheen, a gold braid on the edge of the collar, and a longer skirt.
- GoofsWhen Kirk is about to give his demonstration on the bridge he states that the ship's computer has audio sensors that they can boost by "1 to the 4th power". 1 to any power is only 1 so there would be no boost at all. He probably meant to say 10 to the 4th power, which is 10,000.
- Crazy creditsThe on-screen title is printed as "Court Martial", but the proper grammatical spelling should have included a hyphen. The title should have been printed as: "Court-Martial"
- Alternate versionsSpecial Enhanced version Digitally Remastered with new exterior shots and remade opening theme song. The new exterior shots show the damage to the Enterprise around which the plot revolves.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Star Trek: The Deadly Years (1967)

Featured review
Borderline failed episode
This may be the ultimate emperor's new clothes episode.
It's interesting as the first Trek courtroom episode, but the lawyer vanishes entirely. Shatner has a lengthy voiceover in the last act to cover this up.
Kirk's foe is impossibly deranged to have been hiding all this time and his "plan" is ridiculous.
I can live with the Enterprise falling out of orbit so quickly because orbital mechanics were much less understood by those outside the space programs in the 60s. But risking the ship by beaming almost everybody off for a court proceeding?
