Notes
- TV Guide Description: "A Vulcan starship interferes with Archer's probe of an oversize comet in a smartly-scripted episode that highlights T'Pol's private turmoil. Early episodes have emphasized the tensions between humans and Vulcans, and no series character embodies that strife more than the icy T'Pol. Here, circumstances force a character thaw when Trip becomes privy to the content of coded - and personal - messages sent by T'Pol to the Vulcan vessel Ti'Mir. Ti'Mir's captain, meanwhile, is less than communicative with the suspicious Archer, who must swallow his pride when an emergency arises."
- This episode deals with T'Pol's betrothal.
- Jolene Blalock: "Yeah, she's betrothed. And she's dealing with what to do, because obviously you can't have a relationship, emotional or not, in any species, and have a position on a starship. And that's the dilemma. She has to deal with that. Is the marriage going to be postponed, is T'Pol going to work it out, is she going to stay on the ship or what?" (September 17, 2001 - TrekToday)
- Andre Bormanis on the comet plotline: "We went out of our way to get the science right in this week's episode, and it really helped the story." (November 07, 2001 - TrekToday)
- This episode was first repeated on the 20th of February, 2001.
