This episode features the first on-screen mind meld since the practice became permissable in Vulcan society. Mind melds would become far more common in later Trek series.

   
When Captain Hernandez of the Columbia orders her ship out of space dock, she refers to the helm officer as "Lieutenant", even though she is clearly seen wearing only Ensign's pips.
   
Maybe there were no female captains in Kirk's time, even though there had been before and after, and Lister suspected (perhaps rightly) that sexism at Starfleet was responsible (the same attitude might have been responsible for those silly miniskirt uniforms). What she was complaining about was a temporary problem, not permanent Starfleet policy.
