Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe fact that the secondary bridge was left in the catwalk after The Catwalk (2002) may demonstrate the original Starfleet concept of a battle bridge or Auxiliary Control Center.
- GoofsThere are several inconsistencies with whether or not the aliens gain knowledge of their hosts. They seem to be aware of many things that they would have no way of knowing without acquiring their hosts' knowledge (e.g. Reed thinks that T'pol is the most attractive female) but not others (e.g. that the female crewman was female).
- Quotes
Captain Jonathan Archer: You're taking over my crew! Why?
Alien in Sato's body: I understand how you may be frightened by all this - losing your substance, existing as perceptive energy. But you'll be grateful, once you've made the crossing, I promise you.
Captain Jonathan Archer: We're kind of fond of our substance. We're not very anxious to give it up!

Decent but how did Archer know these aliens were bad?!
Enterprise is swallowed by a gigantic ship and cannot extricate itself. Within this huge vessel are a lot of swirly lights which are some sort of incorporeal beings. One takes over Trip briefly and this first contact seems very, very benign. However, inexplicably, Archer just somehow knows that these beings are bad--something that NOTHING in the show so far supports. This is a huge weakness of the show. Fortunately, what follows is pretty exciting and the show quite memorable. Not a great episode due to how Archer is written in this one but it is a novel sort of episode in many ways. My favorite part involved seeing a possessed Hoshi beating the snot out of a crew member--a nice change of pace for this otherwise wussy and annoying character.
