Notes

• Running Decon Gel Scene Appearances: Trip (1), T’Pol (1) – none this episode.
• The first episode to air in 2002.
• The first of twelve episodes written by André Bormanis.
• The only episode of Enterprise directed by Winrich Kolbe, and the last episode he directed of any incarnation of Star Trek. In all he directed 16 episodes of TNG, 13 of DS9, 18 of VOY, and this one of Enterprise.
• This episode was originally going to become “Call to Arms”, but they couldn’t do that since there was a DS9 episode of the same name.
• We get to see Malcom’s parents and his sister in this episode.  If memory serves, they’re never seen again.
• The ship that attacks Enterprise looks a lot like the alien ship that attacks them in the episode “E2“.
• The first time we see ship’s phasers on a Starship (in universe), and also obviously the first time on Enterprise.
