The Orion starship was the recycled missile from "Patterns of Force."
In her original draft for this episode, writer D.C. Fontana planned for a Vulcan city to be shown. However, this was deemed to expensive to produce via a matte painting.
In the original script Ambassador Sarek and his party are beamed aboard the Enterprise instead of arriving via an Enterprise shuttlecraft. This was another cost saving measure. Due to the expensive makeup costs for the aliens, as well as outer space footage of the Orion vessel attacking the Enterprise, it was deemed to costly to also include the transporter visual effect.
D.C. Fontana was pleased with this episode as it was filmed pretty much as she wrote it. She was not fond of one scene that was included that she didn't write. The discussion between Captain Kirk & Amanda in engineering about the estrangement between Mr. Spock & Sarek was not hers. She felt that it would have been odd that Amanda would so openly talk about a family rift to a stranger.
Actor John Wheeler who played Ambassador Gav had a very difficult time seeing his castmates out of his Tellerite mask. He had to raise his head to see the other actors. This worked because it made Gav appear to be arrogant and hostile.
The vests worn by the Andorian delegates were recycled from the 1956 film flop by producer Howard Hughes "The Conqueror" starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan & Susan Hayward.
This episode is D.C. Fontana's favorite of the ones she has written.
Leonard Nimoy also thinks highly of this episode.

Great episode. LLAP 🖖

9/10. Terrific episode. Has anyone ever answered why the Vulcan delegation came aboard the Enterprise via a shuttlecraft when the starship was orbiting the planet Vulcan and could have beamed everyone on board?
I believe the transporter was out of order
I just read that the reason they had Sarek & his party come aboard via the Enterprise shuttlecraft was because of a budget issue. The episode was quite expensive due to all of the alien makeup involved. The outer space scenes of the Orion vessel attacking was also expensive. In order to reduce the budget they cut out doing the expensive transporter visual effect.

Spock is so disappointed in me.

8/10 By far my best Star Trek quiz score. I must have done something wrong.
10/10 369/390, but a couple of those questions I had to guess because I don't remember Shras at all.

I missed # 5, as I thought Spock's mother's name was Mrs. Margret Anderson

Her nickname for Spock was 'Bud'.
LOL!
Brilliant!
7/10. "Highly Illogical" 🖖

8/10 😢 I'm such a failure
9/10 Good episode.

10/10. Great episode. I liked the battle with the Klingon ship and Kirk's warfare strategy while he's gravely wounded.
Not a Klingon ship, it was the species with the guy posing as an Andorian.
"I believe you'll find he's an Orion."
I would prefer an Oreo (cookie).
8/10.

Well, at least no "highly illogical" barb from Spock.
On a side note, Andorians were probably one of the creepiest alien species on original Trek.
