Trivia:

Leonard Nimoy has stated that Charles Bronson was on set during his love scenes with Jill Ireland (who was his wife), to "keep an eye on her." This made Leonard Nimoy nervous whenever he had to kiss Jill Ireland. Their scenes were filmed at Bronson Canyon, CA. more

Goofs:

Continuity: At one point, Kirk throws a plant on the floor just in front of the navigator's console. Later, when he returns to the empty ship, a wide angle view of the bridge shows that the plant is no longer there. Then, a few moments later, as he is making his log entry and sits at the navigator's console, the plant reappears and sprays him with spores. more

Quotes:

Spock: I have a responsibility to this ship. To that man on the bridge. I am what I am, Leila. And if there are self made purgatories, then we all have to live in them. Mine can be no worse than someone else's. more

Spock finds Love, 21 March 2006
Author: woljm45 from United States

The Enterprise investigates a deadly planet that supposed to have killed a community there, but instead they find that a plant's spores not only keeps them safe, but also acts as some "cult love-drug". This episode was defiantly a product of the late 60's, which is actually mentioned. Spock gets hit with the spores and his human-half ignites the flames for an old "interest" who lives in the community, played by Jill Ireland(Charles Bronson's former wife). Great acting job by Nimoy to add that warm love dimension to Spock's usual cold demeanor. The episode is rather light-hearted, and almost even comical, but definitely enjoyable.
