A Piece of the Action - S2-E17

Trivia: According to the script and audio of this episode, the first Boss is named Bella Oxmyx. But all posters of Oxmyx have the last name spelled "Okmyx." The reason is the as originally written, Okmyx would have been correct, but all material with Okmyx had already been made. Since it was a tight budget, the name was only changed at the time of filming.

Trivia: After Kirk leaves Sickbay, and after McCoy says one of his "What am I...?" questions (i.e., I'm a doctor, not a _______), he says, "If I jumped every time a light flashed around here, I'd end up talking to myself." Later, in Star Trek V, as he's watching Kirk climb the mountain, he says, to himself, "'You'll enjoy Shore Leave. You'll be able to relax'. You call this relaxing? I'm a nervous wreck. If I'm not careful, I'll end up talking to myself."
