    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The board game that Trip and the cogenitor are playing is in fact a real game. Though never mentioned by name, it is the territory-conquest strategy game "Go" that came out of China in the 4th century B.C. and is still quite popular in many circles today.
    • Goofs
      The Vissian chief engineer tells Commander Tucker that a polymer used on their ship is made of more than 200 naturally occurring elements. Tucker is shocked because the Earth database show only 92 naturally occurring elements. What's wrong here is that at the time of filming there were already 94 naturally occurring elements discovered and not 92 (as of 2017 94 plus 24 synthetics elements for a total of 118 ).

      • Captain Jonathan Archer: [ready to go] You're in charge!
