Notes
- The details of the destruction of the Xindi homeworld are laid out here.
- The only episode of the series where the pre title recap says “Previously on Star Trek Enterprise”. Every other episode (in all four seasons) just say “Previously on Enterprise” despite the name of the show being “Star Trek Enterprise” in all of Seasons 3 & 4.
- The material being refined here (Kemocite) is the same one that Quark was trying to smuggle in the DS9 episode “Little Green Men“.
- Gralik Durr was played by John Cothran. He was also the Klingon Nu-Daq in TNG’s “The Chase” as well as a different Klingon (Telok) in DS9’s “Crossover“.

this was half over that I figured it out. Bakula does a great non verbal stare. It ended up with a moral story about an ore refiner which made it finish nice, but the early part of the ep confused me, giving it a disjointed feel. Some nice visuals though. Overall, a decent ep, but an odd feel to it.
