9/10 Couldn't remember the sub commanders name. By far one of the best episodes in the series. First time we see the Romulans and learn they are a off chute of the Vulcan race.

This is one of my favorite episodes of Season 1. I love how the Romulan commander (so dignified) returns the next season as Spock's father. Well, the actor does, I should say.

Point of order on question #3. In this episode, the character was only known by the first name shown in the question. The rest of the name wasn't established until the character appeared in the prequel series "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds"

Your right! In the 60's series he is only called Hansen.

Well no wonder that question threw me! 😬
