- TriviaThe actor who performed Silik, John Fleck, appears here without his usual Suliban make-up. In fact, this is his only appearance throughout all his Star Trek appearances where he has not worn any facial prosthetics.
- GoofsReed reports that in the altered history, Russia remained neutral, so the alien-backed Nazis only expanded westward. Yet in Storm Front (2004), the German General told Vosk that Germany's forces are strained because the Russians are attempting to retake Moscow.
- Quotes
Newsreel Narrator: News on Parade! America and Germany together in the fight for freedom. In his first visit to the home of the brave, the German Chancellor received a warm welcome from the Big Apple. He greeted enthusiastic crowds in Times Square and took in the view from the top of the Empire State Building. Watch that first step! Later, the Führer paid a call to Lady Liberty, where he was given the keys to the city. The whirlwind tour was capped off by a four-hour speech to city leaders where the Führer outlined his vision for a prosperous alliance between Germany and America, vowing to root out the parasitic elements that have crippled our economy since 1929 and to liberate the masses from the grip of financial profiteers. Together, we will put Americans back to work - two great nations marching side-by-side toward a bold future.

Episode: {all episodes}
Instead, in the final episode of season three, Archer and the crew of the Enterprise were catapulted back in time to World War II, where a strange alien species changed historical events in Nazi Germany's favor. So the fourth and final season begins with a double episode: Changes in history, the Temporal Cold War that has gotten out of control and the Enterprise crew that wants to return to their time.
It's never a good sign when evil Nazis form the core of the plot in time travel stories. But when it is also about Nazi aliens, it usually becomes ridiculous. Unfortunately, that also applies to this double episode. Thanks to the aliens, Germany even managed to invade the USA. With these two episodes, the story about the Temporal Cold War finally and rather abruptly ends. This theme was built up over four seasons and is then presented with a rather sobering resolution to the conflict. All timelines are straight again and the villain has been eliminated. The fact that this whole story made pretty little sense and that we saw this new faction for the first time in the Temporal Cold War, although they seem to be THE central faction that ultimately messes everything up, didn't help the story at all. I'm still wondering how the timeline in which Nazis invaded America was corrected at the end. In the scene with Daniels and Archer, this timeline apparently corrects itself automatically, but that doesn't make any sense.
The whole story seems like a hasty attempt to wrap up the "Temporal Cold War" theme - with no regard for leaving plot holes so big that Enterprise could fit in them five times over. Silik is dead, Vosk is dead, Daniel is alive again, the timeline has been restored and everyone can now devote themselves to new adventures.
