Did you know

  • Trivia First appearance of the Vulcan hand salute. Leonard Nimoy improvised this symbol during the production of "Amok Time," modified from a traditional Jewish religious hand gesture.
  • Goofs After T'Pring chooses Kirk to be her champion, Kirk and McCoy are speaking with T'Pau. In the background, Leonard Nimoy can be seen standing against the wall with his hands behind his back, apparently unaware that he is on camera. Spock is supposed to be off in the corner, deep in the blood fever.

Spock : [after T'Pring has explained her actions] Logical. Flawlessly logical.

T'Pring : I am honored.

Spock : Stonn, she is yours. After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

  • Alternate versions Special Enhanced version Digitally Remastered with new exterior shots and remade opening theme song. Highlights include a new aerial view of the arena with a city in the distance.
