"Because of this, however, the ship avoided a deadly crash into Psi 2000." - why the "however"? There's no contradiction imo. (clem 23:01, 28 August 2005 (UTC))[reply]

Uh...then fix it? Better than complaining about it. Cyberia23 02:47, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think there needs to be a separate article devoted to the concept of "naked time" as popularized by that one flash cartoon, and before that, dana carvey.

Trivia

There's some fairly non-notable trivia, best left perhaps to the Memory-alpha wiki. In order, the appearance of the Lieutenant Junior Grade, appearance of all three female regulars and the use of protective suits by the crew on Psi-2000. I'll remove them now, please discuss here if they should be kept (or anything else removed) Alastairward 08:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think one of the interesting things in this episode is a line that got by the censors. When Sulu is running around with his sword he grabs Uhaura and calls her "fair maiden" and she says she is neither. No biggie these days, but for back then to say she wasn't a maid, i.e. she was sexually active, was a big deal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.157.40 (talk) 08:52, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scotty about the laws of Physics

In this episode Scotty clearly says "I can't change the laws of physics", rather than the "I canna' change the laws of physics" meme/cliche. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.132.204.79 (talk) 10:09, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coming from a part of the world where accents aren't that different, it does very much sound like a clear "can't". But I double checked with the DVD subtitles all the same, it's definitely "can't". WikiuserNI (talk) 20:52, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanism for going back in time

Concerning the previously untested theory to get the Enterprise's engines running again to avoid burning up and crashing into a planet which also brings them back some 3 days back in time, Spock mentions a connection between "anti-matter and time". Although this is not explicitely stated, I think the writers were thinking of the Wheeler-Feynman time-symmetric theory which involves EM waves that propagate from the future into the present (or the present into the past). This theory was the precursor to quantum electrodynamics which eventually dealt with antimatter.TonyMath (talk) 22:10, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

I had an edit reverted because a moderator alleges that "standalone" is a real word. I have never seen it. I have seen "stand alone" and "stand-alone" in context to items under discussion. The context is splitting off half of an episode to make the story into two episodes. I believe this reversion was not justified, and that the two words, with or without the hypen, is more descriptive of what was done to The Naked Time, the second part of which became Tomorrow Is Yesterday. ‎— Preceding unsigned comment added by Roy Jaruk (talk • contribs) 04:34, 18 February 2021(UTC)
