Notes
- The episode to be filmed in 2004 (starting on 5 Jan).
- The first (and to date only) episode with USS Enterprise NCC-1701-J in it, although we never get a good, clear view of the ship.
- Footage of damage to Enterprise is reused from multiple prior episodes.
- Speaking of that, the damage done to Enterprise here isn’t properly repaired until the fourth season episode “Borderland” (10 episodes from now).
- The fifth of eight appearances of Matt Winston as Daniels.
- The seventh of ten appearances of Randy Oglesby as Degra.
- The fourth of eight appearances of Scott MacDoland as Dolim.
- The fourth of eight appearances of Tucker Smallwood as the Xindi-Primate councilor.
- The fourth of ten appearances of Rick Worthy as Jannar.
- Christopher Goodman plays Degra’s assistant Thalen here. The character appeared in two prior episodes (Proving Ground & Stratagem), but he was played by Josh Drennen there.
- While not officially a Part I of II, it certainly ends like it is one, leading into the next.

to run a suicide mission which then brings Daniels and the Temporal Cold War into the mix (Hello Enterprise-J). This is my kind of story - multiple plots converging, time travel, and a lot of action. Said action leaves Enterprise NX-01 nearly destroyed at the end. Killer episode, loved this one.
