David Gerrold was furious at how the ending of his script was changed, as his version had the two sides forced into negotiation at phaser-point, with McCoy sadly noting that a lot more people will probably die before they come to an answer. He didn't mince any words about the possible racial implications that could be read into the changed ending, describing its message as "if we can just get them troglytes to all wear gas masks, then they'll be happy little darkies and they'll pick all the cotton we need." And I have to point out, this was years before Talons of Weng-Chiang, so there goes the whole "Well, everyone was just racist back then, so what are you gonna do?" argument.

Yeah, Jess, I'm still processing the hippie episode myself, so you’re not alone on that one. As to this episode, though I'm not sure I'd say it’s one of my favorites, I liked it, and I really liked that you liked it a lot. Yeah, it is similar in nature to Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, albeit presented in a way that was more to your liking. Quite the unlikeable villain in Plasus. Jeff Corey proved excellent in the role. I'm with you on liking that Spock lost interest in Droxinne upon finding out about her prejudices. Though as you noted, she does seem to be coming around at least a little. Sidenote, I got a big laugh over her being fascinated with the Vulcan hearing. I relate to Spock in this regard as I have Vulcan hearing myself. Made more prominent through my inheriting my mom’s teacher ears. If nothing else, I thought Diana Ewing was good in the role. Likewise, Charlene Polite was great as Vanna. I agree that it is a highlight that it feels very authentic that she is as mistrusting and skeptical as she is. You inquired as to the logistics of the non-inference rules, and how they would apply to this planet. Well, that’s where I’m a trifle confused in that I thought that rules were established so that if a planet has a very clear societal divide as this one did, it would be ineligible to be part of the Federation, thus Kirk could interfere to his heart’s content. Mind you, I think the rules that I mentioned were not brought up until later Star Trek works, or I don’t know, maybe I just made that up and I'm merely talking out my ass. In any case, as you said, Kirk was most effective in his plan. Alas, no Kirk somersaults whilst being, as you put it, a Mister Grumpus, fighting Plasus, though we have a few episodes left; room still for a few somersaults. I loved it in your reaction when you wanted Plasus and Droxinne both to be beamed down to the mines, especially your little song and dance of “Send them both. Send them both.” It does feel like as you observed that an uprising and/or other form of rebellion is imminent on the planet. All in all, a fun reaction, and I'm really glad to see you enjoyed the episode, Jess.

Yes, I relate to the sensitive hearing bit too. Back in the 70s and a science lab, our teacher - one Mr Green - decided that we would all have a hearing test, using an audio oscillator. He told us to raise our hands and lower them when we stopped hearing the tone. As he turned the dial, hands started to be lowered and guess who was the last with his hand still up. He looked at me somewhat amused and quizzically asked if their were any dogs in my lineage. He turned it a bit more and, with everyone staring at me, finally I lowered my hand. until he turned the dial that much further, there was still a presence in my ears. Annoyingly, I have tinnitus now. I liked the concept of the cloud city in this one. Reminds me of Magritte. I was pretty much a born Surrealist so this sort of thing, plus Doctor Who, was always going to appeal. Plus Spock, of course, is a valuable thinking tool for a Aspie to have. Fascinating.
