"Draal gave Zathras list of things not to say.
This was one. No.... *tsk tsk*
No. Not good.
Not supposed to mention... "one", or... THE one.
Hmmmm.
You never heard that."

And a very small comparison shot:

BOTH Star Trek and the movie Aliens were taken from the book Voyage of the Space Beagle by A.E. Van Vogt,

Parts of which date back to short stories written in 1939.

Whether "Forbidden Planet" was influenced by the book or not, I have no idea.

A major influence on Forbidden Planet was Shakespeare's "The Tempest". The film casts walter Pidgeon as Dr. Morpheus in the role of Prospero.
