Trivia
Guest star Guy Rolfe played Count Oga, the main antagonist in Snow White and the Three Stooges (1961), a part for which Martin Landau had auditioned.

Goofs
By the time Koenig sends Maya out on a reconnaissance as an owl, it has already been established several times that Maya and Tony can't touch each other. Yet after Maya transforms into an owl, Tony holds her on his arm. If the interdiction doesn't work while she's in a form other than her own, the Alphans should take note of it, and if it does still work, then Tony shouldn't be able to hold her.

Quotes
Commander John Koenig: We make our own choices!
Magus: Much less often than you think.

lack of originality and lack of tension

I did not find any real scares or thrills within this story which was a shame; Terence Feely I think went on to write the excellent Bringers of Wonder, so clearly could manage to do much better. The omnipresent being idea has been done much better in Star Trek, Magus doesn't really do quite enough to earn his villain status and could have been a lot more threatening and unstoppable. A number of other episodes would feature better writing better villains and better guest actors.
