Trivia: Original titles: "Sandoval's Planet," "Power Play," & "The Way of the Spores."
Considered an anti-drug storyline.
Sulu was originally intended to be the focus of this episode as it would be him falling in love.
Outdoors location filming took place for 2 days at Walt Disney Productions Golden Oak Ranch. Jill Ireland became ill, so scenes aboard the Enterprise were then filmed. When Jill recovered, Golden Oak Ranch had another production filming on it, so the Trek production finished up their location shoot in Bronson Canyon.
Sadly, Frank Overton (Elias Sandoval) would pass away at 48 years old just weeks after this episode first aired.

This episode shows how good an actor Leonard Nimoy was.
Agreed. This episode definitely gave Leonard Nimoy a chance to show his range and he nailed it.

Fun fact: Leila was played by Jill Ireland, Charles Bronson's future wife.
The Bronsons were memorable in an interview on the Dick Cavett Show. Dick didn't
understand Charles at all or the world he came from. He asked him what he would do
if he lost all his money/stardom.
Bronson - "I'd pick up a shovel and go back in the coal mines. No big deal, my family would eat."
He meant it, that whole 'ya do what ya gotta do' deal.
Cavett could not process that, he was confused like a dog whose food bowl had been moved some place else. A bemused Bronson then had Dick figured and toyed with him.
Cavett was a nice guy with a high IQ but if he had to work in a mine, or just went to drink in
the bar where the guys in "The Deer Hunter" hung out, he'd have been eaten alive.

She was married to David MacCallum prior to Bronson.
The bar in Deer Hunter is a scary place.
I guess that depends on your perspective. Everybody in there looked/acted like my cousins
in PA. When the boys in The Deer Hunter are by a car and Axel drunkenly announces his
amorous feelings and intent regarding the car, I laughed out loud as that was the sort
of thing my buddy Boo Boo, a lineman on the Seton Hall football team, would do.
Me and my old crew would gladly hoist some beers in the Deer Hunter bar.
By the same token we also hit the fabled American Bar in the Savoy, London, and
the Oak Bar that you see Cary Grant go into at the start of North By Northwest.
Eclectic bunch when it came to hitting the town.
