Notes
  • The crew that arrived on the Defiant in Part 1 wear the TOS uniforms in this episode (since they arrived in EV suits).
  • The Defiant finds rebel Andorian, Vulcan, and Tellarite ships attacking the I.S.S. Avenger, an NX-class starship commanded by Admiral Black. Soval (sporting a goatee) was the science officer on the Avenger. Archer destroyed the rebels, allowing one to escape as a warning.
  • Ensign Kelby was killed by the Gorn. Reed put on the TOS red shirt uniform and was also critically injured by the Gorn; he was out of commission for the rest of the episode.
  • T'Pol notes that "It may take centuries, but humanity will pay for its arrogance." See the DS9 episode "Crossover".
  • After the destruction of the Avenger, Hoshi poisons Archer, takes over the Defiant (with Mayweather's help) and declares herself Empress Sato, ordering Fleet Admiral Gardner to surrender.
  • This is the only on-screen appearance of Admiral Gardner (albeit his mirror universe counterpart).
  • David Sobolov provides the voice of the Gorn, Slar, but the character was fully a computer generated creation. (Stunt coordinator Vince Deadrick Jr. performed the motion capture.)
