- The first of three episodes directed by Michael Grossman.
- The third and final appearance of Daniel Day Kim as Chang.
- The fourth of five appearances of Steven Culp as Major Hayes.
- The set for the Xindi-insectoid shuttle was re-used as Shran’s ship in the series finale.
- The only time (I think) we see T-Pol wearing a baseball cap (one of the NX-01 caps from Season 1).
- The opening of this episode has a very “Alien” feel to it.

Archer goes off the deep end mentally and the crew actively mutinies against him. Mutiny stuff was fun, but nothing else was. Didn't like this.

Having said that, one part I forgot about. The earliest part of the episode before Archer goes all pear shaped was quite good. I love a good exploration segment, and it also had a big "Alien" feel to it to me. Had 100% forgotten about that, but the rest of the episode is pretty naff.
