Notes

  • TV Guide Description: "The discovery of an Earthlike world proves irresistible to Trip, who persuades Archer to allow his survey team to camp on the planet's surface - unaware of a gathering storm. After relocating into nearby caves, members of the crew become convinced they are being watched."

  • Kellie Waymire previously appeared in Voyager's 'Muse' as Lanya.

  • Features the first example of the primitive state of transporter technology, with a crewman being beamed off the planet and materialising with rocks and leaves fused into his body. (August 07, 2001 - TrekToday)

  • Rumoured to feature the crew encountering what they believe to be a friendly, uninhabited planet, but that turns out to be far more dangerous than they ever expected. Features some tension between T'Pol and the rest of the crew, as she is suspected of being in secret contact with the hostile aliens on the planet. (August 21, 2001 - TrekToday)

  • This episode was first repeated on the 12th of December, 2001.
