Trivia
This is the first time the term tricorder has been used to reference any scanning devices used by the crew. Phlox mentions that Sim took apart his medical tricorder out of curiosity. Until now, the devices had been referred to as "scanners."

Goofs
According to Lt. Reed, the shuttle pod engines are above critical while exerting a force of 2500 kilodynes. Unless there was an unmentioned redefinition of the "dyne", a unit of force in the cgs-system, 2500 kdyn are equivalent to 25 Newton, which is approximately the gravity force of a mass of 2.5 kg on earth - something everybody can exert quite easily using a single finger.

Quotes
Sim: I'm sorry I doubted you, Doc.
Dr. Phlox: No need to apologize.
Sim: Yes, there is. You see, I don't just remember Trip's childhood. I remember mine. You made a damned good father.
Dr. Phlox: You were a damned good son.

Absolutely perfect episode

This episode of Enterprise is absolutely flawless. I've always been a purist when it comes to Star Trek offerings, and have enjoyed every television series except Deep Space Nine, which was more of a sci-fi soap opera. While Enterprise is also a continuing series, being a "prequel" further expounds on the early history of Star Fleet, etc, much to the delight of us Trekkies. The characters are memorable, albeit the series does become rather lackluster at times. This particular episode however, was extraordinary in every way. The writing/story line was well-conceived, and the acting and direction was superb. The continuity of the story was perfect, and the editing was impeccable. I've not seen all the episodes yet (I'm only in the 3rd season) but I doubt I'll see a better one. It is absolutely perfect, and i cannot recommend it enough.
