Episode Notes

The 'Planet of Hats' is a very frequently used concept in science fiction. It is the use of a single defining characteristic for a whole planet - it's like a stereotype, only much more. It is very common in Star Trek - of course!

For example, Klingons are all warriors; Vulcans are all cold logic; Ferengi are all extreme capitalists... and so on. Although later series, notably Deep Space Nine, added more depth to some of these planets' inhabitants.
