Background[edit | edit source]
- The German title is "Auftrag: Zukunft", which means "Assignment: Future".
- The Earth quote "In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king" is a proverb cited in several literary sources, including the Bible. (The One-Eyed Man Is King idiom at the Idiomation website)
- Scott quoted to himself, "May fortune favor the foolish". That is a Latin proverb derivative of "fortune favors the bold" and was also quoted by James T. Kirk in TOS movie: The Voyage Home. (Fortune favours the bold article at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
- Leonard McCoy wondered what technology would be capable of transporting an entire starship, and Spock acknowledged it as a theoretical possibility. They seem to have forgotten that they were transported along with the Enterprise by a Kalandan long distance transporter in 2268, though it was reassembled partially out of phase, in TOS episode: "That Which Survives". Montgomery Scott warned James T. Kirk of those phase difficulties as the ship was about to be transported again, this time by the First Federation's Web of Worlds in 2269, in TOS novel: The Face of the Unknown.
Quotes[edit | edit source]
"It may be completely new, Jim... but you aren't perfect"
--Leonard McCoy to James T. Kirk (translated from the German version)
