"Patterns of Force"

• There isn't anything to say about this episode, except SPACE NAZIS. 

"By Any Other Name"

• I change my mind.  I need a paralysis field for the kids; it's a much more elegant solution than the agonizer.  I promise not to turn them into cuboctahedron solids, though.
• This episode marks NCC-1701's second trip through the galactic barrier at the edge of the Milky Way.
• I'm pretty sure that the Enterprise's food synthesizers are only capable of producing brightly-colored marshmellons.
• "You mean I'm going to have to drink this alien under the table to get us out of this mess?  Well, if I must..."
• "You mean I'm going to have to make out with this beautiful alien to get us out of this mess?  Well, if I must..."
• When asked about the next-to-last bottle of liquor he shares with Tomar, Scotty pauses for a moment before saying "It's green."  This scene is echoed in Scotty's appearance in TNG, "Relics", when Data tells him the same thing about a mysterious green beverage that Guinan keeps behind the bar in Ten Forward.
