Much of the original series was recycled bits and pieces. Their budget was really small. The network didn't have much faith in a SciFi series. Not unusual at the time. I read an article once that the prop department wandered the studio lots, looking for trashed items they could stick together and paint to create whatever techno gizmo was called for. The reason Dr McCoy's medical scanner looks like a salt shaker is because it was one. Unfortunately, after the show was cancelled, almost everything ended up in the dumpster. Collectors today would pay a fortune for that repainted trash.

Because back then, television was still a relatively new medium, and color TV was BRAND new. People involved in TV were pushing the envelope with virtually every new series that came out back then. Star Trek was by far the best example of this, but there were others as well. Nowadays, it's blasé, nothing new, and all following the same formulas. That's why "Reality TV" does so well today: it's cheap to make and people watch it, which are pretty much the only two priorities for TV these days.

Also note that this episode, The Enterprise Incident was solely based upon writtrn and directed by a actual incident when the US NAVEY ordered the USS POUBLO off 15 miles north koreas shore line in international waters when she was stolen by the north koreans. She was surrounded by sub chasers, and a mig fighter plane was flying over head and was boarded and commandeered and ordered to stand down, sail the ship into north koreas waters whare she is still held captive to this day. Captain Bucher and his crew were beaten and abused with one sailer shot and killed until released almost a year later. The US Navy should have NEVER sent that ship out in that area without a escort as she was montering broadcasts in the north korean area. Russia and China do this to us, along with Iran, we, in turn do this to them, as long as it's in international waters, nothing can and should be done. Like to see the Pueblo come back home again, however, won't never happen. That little, unreliable, lying fat boy over there won't allow it, that's for sure.

She obviously ended up in the Federation after this. And yet, in all the movies, series, and episodes that came after, spanning the entire arc of the Star trek universe. I don't think we ever hear from her again. and, there's no indication that Spock ever looked her up, in later life. It's a shame. her character had a great dynamic potential.

@@mickeye6428 I have not watched the third season os STD yet. (Rented via Amazon) I enjoyed the first season for what it was, more than the second. I did skip the pilot, though, since people disliked the start so much. So for me, the season started with a mystery prisoner being diverted, or almost Shanghaied, to a mystery ship in the middle of a war. It gave it I good feel, and I liked the Capt Lorca character. The rogue AI story line in season 2 was pretty meh.

They probably were ordered to get it back to Earth ASAP, so command could have a group of engineers look at the thing, and try to reverse engineer new ones from it. As the only cloak in Federation hands, and as it was obtained illegally, it would have been too risky to leave it on the Enterprise, a high profile ship, and one out on the frontier.
