7 for 10
8/10, good episode. No mention of Kirk's brother and nephew. But the creatures always reminded me of slices of pepperoni pizza.
Kirk's brother Sam was killed by the creatures and his nephew was infected by one both which are mentioned in the episode.
True...but I think he meant no mention of them in the quiz...
True, not in the quiz but Kirk's sister-in-law does get a mention in question two.
I meant the quiz. But think about it, all the episodes and movies that followed, the nephew is never mentioned again.
Yep!
I stand corrected. 12 hours in the brig for me.
5/10. ugh.
8/10. I thought the creatures were killed by intense exposure to light? I remember Spock saying it was one-million candle power per square inch that the test called for.
That's what they originally thought. It was only after Spock was blinded that Dr. McCoy realized he "didn't have to throw the whole spectrum" at the creatures.
Watched your episode last night CaptainDunsel. "The Ultimate Computer" EXCELLENT episode.

You think as a doctor McCoy would have waited for the test results first.
Yeah, I guess. But he *was* getting a lot of push from that Kirk guy...
These Are The Voyages: TOS, Season One by Marc Cushman:
Original title, "Operation: Destroy.
This episode is reminiscent of Robert A. Heinlein's 1951 novel, The Puppet Masters.
The idea that these creatures are part of a larger entity was taken from Jerry Sohl's script "This Side of Paradise."
The original ending was to have Kirk destroy all life on Deneva.

9/10. Had no idea on #4.
The test writers are getting a little bit sneakier. (I suspect they are mining the "Memory Alpha" site, though sometimes not carefully enough.)
All three answers for #4 are in fact planets mentioned in "Star Trek". Sarthong V is mentioned in the episode "Captain's Holiday" in TNG, and "Kzin" is mentioned in "The Slaver Weapon" from the animated series.
(Yes, "Kzin" and the Kzinti are from Larry Niven's "Tales of Known Space" stories. Trek didn't steal them - Niven adapted his own short story into the Trek script.)

I wish they would just watch the episode and not use other sources. 😬

9/10. Missed # 1.
Just wondering if anyone knows where the scenes on Deneva were filmed. And don't some wise guy say on Deneva.
According to an IMDB reviewer, the scenes were filmed at the old TRW Defense and Space Systems Group campus in Redondo Beach, California, at Aviation Blvd and Marine Ave.
Thanks for the info. I thought it might have been at the world's fair or Disney World.
6/10 I'm sure I've seen this episode, but for whatever reason, it doesn't ring a bell
