TOS fane here from the original showing. The network told him he could keep the alien or the women second in command - so he kept Spock and married Majel. She's the actress who plays nurse Chapel - and the voice for the computer.
Funny stories - the network was worried that the south would see Spock as satan, so they ordered that his ears be airbrushed to normal in all the pics. Then the character took off, and the network demanded to know why the pics were altered - and they literally fired the guy who did the work. Also - the episode with the green Orion slave women - the make-up department sprayed her green, but when the daily rushes came out, her skin was normal. So they used a deeper green - again normal. Finally someone from the film department complained that this actress kept coming up green and it was getting really hard to correct her skin tone.
