Mike Sussman revealed that the original episode idea was much different than what made it to screen. Orignally,
the story had the Tholians capturing a ship from the future and the Enterprise crew trying to stop them from stealing it's technology. The ship
in question would've been the USS Defiant from "The Tholian Web". According to
Sussman, that story was scrapped due to (among other things) cost.
That storyline eventually was used in the 4th season episodes
"In a
Mirror Darkly,
Part 1" and
"In
a Mirror, Darkly, Part 2". |
