In 'I, Mudd' Norman proceeds to tell Kirk that he is no threat to humans....right after he beats the living daylights out of Scotty and his engineering crew.
But I assume he was able to calculate his blows so as not to kill, only incapacitate?
Hey, I never noticed that before....

The point is, they were never in any danger of dying. Not just that he didn't kill them (of course he didn't), but that he never would have. "Android powers on stun."
Norman just roughed them up a little that's all! He knew that the engineering section guys could take it!

In 'The Alternative Factor' Kirk, Spock, Lazarus and a bunch of redshirts go down to the planet in search of the missing dilithium crystals. A close up of the group shows Spock, but the wide shots show Frank Vinci dressed as Spock.
And Eddie Paskey as Kirk! I don't think that's Robert Brown as Lazarus either. Nice find!
You don't think this was at the time that The Nim was playing up over his contract do you? 
Could you imagine ol' Frank as the new Mr.Spock in season two?

One of the three disembodied brains of one of the Providers from Triskelion.
It looks like it's in a countertop convection oven.
One thing I can't believe I didn't notice until recently:
The the second TV Pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before"
The Bridge set's 'Helm Console' prop piece is used as the Transporter Control Console in the Transporter room scenes.

I think I noticed that the first time I saw it as a child. I always liked how the transporter Chief was using hand signals to his tech. Which we never saw again.
They used the helm console as the transporter console in both pilots.
Could be the ship's Christmas cake?

As everybody knows, "The Alternative Factor" was behind schedule because John Drew Barrymore abandoned the Lazarus role and had to be replaced. I wonder if this shot was filmed by a second unit while Shatner and Nimoy filmed another scene at the same time. That could have made up some lost time if they had the money and a second unit director available.
That was my thinking too!

Notice that Lazarus is branching off from the group so that he can do another fall.
I can't believe I never noticed that!
Wow, and neither did I! It's always so cool to learn new stuff about Star Trek.
