[edit] Klingon Battle Cruiser

Wasn't the Klingon Battle Cruiser disabled by Enterprise in this episode of the same class as Vorok's battle cruiser?

[edit] Shawn Crowder

The credit here says he was a MACO, but his profile says he was a stunt double in this episode. Which is correct?

Could he have been a double for one of the actors playing a MACO crewmen? If so, which one? — Greg (talk) 15:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Please read the complete profile. He was a MACO as you can see here. In addition he also served as stunt double in this episode. It is not unfamiliar for a stunt performer to play several parts in an episode. They sometimes appear in different acting parts AND doubled someone. So both credits are right. Btw, the credit list on his page did I get from Mr. Crowder himself. – Tom 15:53, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities

I removed these supposed similarities to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan:

Also reminiscent of Star Trek II is Captain Archer being ejected into space before the pathogens can reach him, and appearing in the transporter room severely frost bitten--possibly an allusion to the Klingon proverb mentioned by Khan: "It is very cold in space."

The bird of prey and Enteprise firing photon torpedoes over the curvature of Qu'Vat colony is similar to the firing of Spock's tube onto Genesis.

Both of these are a bit of a stretch; either way, unless we know for sure the similarities were intended, they don't belong here. --From Andoria with Love 06:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Isn't Persis's line about Botany Bay is the same as Kirk's in Space Seed? Trekkie626 20:04, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

They both note the real world existence of a penal colony... --OuroborosCobra ^talk 20:07, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] speculation/opinion

* Given Soong's line about "at least two habitable planets" in the Briar Patch, it seems quite possible that, had the Augments stayed there, they may well have ended up on the Ba'ku homeworld - one can only imagine what might've happened had those two very, very different societies crossed paths.

[edit] Continuity Error?

I remember there was an earlier episode of Enterprise where they specifically stated, "Klingons don't have escape pods on their vessels, as it is considered cowardly," or something to that extent, yet in this episode, Soong escapes the Klingon Bird of Prey using an escape pod. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.235.170.144 (talk).

It's been known to happen. — Morder 10:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mediterranean

• * The map of Qu'Vat colony on the Enterprise tactical display resembles partially that of European, Asian and African coastline, as the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and the Red Sea are clearly recognizable.

I don't see it. And original research. — Morder 16:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
