Plot edit in reference to Sulu and Farrell[edit]

I'm editing the following: The three women who accompany him are stunningly beautiful, causing double-takes from the male crew members, especially Lt. Sulu and Navigator John Farrell, to remove especially Lt. Sulu and Navigator John Farrell. The reactions of Sulu and Farrell are no different than that of the other male crew members (save Mr. Spock, of course). The only reason I can see why someone put this in would be because of the one scene on the bridge where Sulu and Farrell talk about the women, but this scene does not indicate that those two are any more infatuated than the rest of the male crew. In fact, in the beam-up scene, Dr. McCoy and Scotty are just as mesmerized as Sulu and Farrell (in fact, McCoy continues to show quite an obsession over the women later on). —Preceding unsigned comment added by P shadoh (talk • contribs) 20:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lt. Sulu Comes Out[edit]

As pointed out in the comment section of this episode's official YouTube/CBS broadcast, at 10:43 you can clearly hear Lt. Sulu state "Johhny, I'm gay" as the camera cuts away to Spock and Scotty: YouTube - Star Trek, Mudd's Women. PRICELESS. Gives a whole new spin on his behavior stepping onto the bridge - "You're on duty Johhy-O. *sNap!* Back to reality!". It is rather surprising this little tidbit took so many decades to be acknowledge and why it isn't a more significant part of Star Trek lore. Wow, Takei had the guts to say that with the cameras rolling in the 1960's, everyone else stayed in character and they didn't edit it out (unless they re-inserted it with the recent remastering). You go Takei!

I wonder if this has any bearing on the strain between George Takei and William Shatner? Though it was early in the series... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.22.118.22 (talk) 05:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

dilithium?[edit]

Wasn't it dilithium crystals, not lithium? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.17 (talk) 21:28, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In other episodes, they talked about dilithium crystals. But in this episode, they said lithium crystals. I'm assuming it was just a continuity error in the script but it's what's in the episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.213.128 (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They originally used "lithium" in episodes as the primary power for starships in "lithium circuits" but the science advisor to Roddenberry remarked that lithium was a real element, with real properties. He advised Roddenberry to invent a substance that no one could point to and say, "Hey, that element wouldn't do that" and they invented dilithium. Several early episodes refer to lithium before this change was made. Because Spock mentions "lithium power circuits" there has been a definite attempt to maintain continuity by saying this early reference to lithium concerned lithium circuitry and that was different from dilithium crystals that were cut and used whole. Yes, it is weak, but that's the story they're sticking to. StarHOG (Talk) 17:32, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
