Shirtless Sidebar: Whoa! Spock’s lost his uniform! So has Kirk (I’m not surprised). Watch as our favorite duo break out of an alien Nazi jail without their tunics. I do have one question, why does Jim have a perpetual sheen?

Stardate Sidebar: “Patterns of Force” does not have a stardate stated during the events of the episode, so we rely again on production and broadcast order to determine roughly when it occurred. Again, I’ve placed it on a date that is halfway between the calculated end date of 28 August 2267 in “By Any Other Name” and the calculated start date of 11 September 2267 for “The Ultimate Computer.”
