New shots of Scalos from space, as well as an enhanced matte painting of the surface were inserted into the episode, alongside more realistic phaser effects.

Featured review
Deela Is A Delight
I am currently watching this episode. The clever plot has always intrigued me but now I notice that Kathie Browne as Deela really steals the show. Her costume is extremely well done, being half-on and half-off at the same time. Her performance is just as well done.
There have been other lovely women on Star Trek but she really sweeps Kirk off his feet in this episode. His wistful look at the end looks genuine - because I feel the same way myself. She has a calm and serene attitude that is pleasant to see and hear.
Many of the female guest stars are merely eye candy, but Kathie Browne brings elegance to her role. Even Kirk is subdued in his desire to get his ship back, rather than his usual bluster. It's a nice change of pace.
