- GoofsAfter Tucker shuts down the engines Enterprise is seen to come to slow down and lose attitude control while in orbit. As attitude is controlled by thrusters and no force is needed to maintain orbit the loss of the warp engine would have no effect on the ships orbit or attitude. Even if the ship blew up the pieces would continue in the same general orbit the ship was in.

[Enterprise is approaching the Berengaria system]
Commander T'Pol: A Vulcan science vessel surveyed the seventh planet over 50 years ago. The file states it's an M-class world with a flourishing ecosystem. No intelligent life.
Captain Jonathan Archer: Sounds promising.
Commander T'Pol: They did report one distinctive feature which bears mentioning.
Captain Jonathan Archer: And that is?
Commander T'Pol: A species of flying reptile, some reportedly over 200 meters long. They're also said to breathe fire.
[the crew's expressions become a mixture of curiosity and skepticism]
Commander T'Pol: There's been lingering questions over the accuracy of this report.
Captain Jonathan Archer: [suppressing a grin] We can't wait to find out.

Episode: {all episodes}
This episode shows in a way that shouldn't be taken entirely seriously who is in charge at the Orions: it's the women and not the men. With their beguiling pheromones, Orion females seem to easily wrap pretty much any male creature around their fingers. This episode shows this uncontrollable attraction better than the LD episode "Something Borrowed, Something Green". There men are just cheap pleasure slaves. In this episode, however, the men are often simply not in control of their emotions and are actually manipulated into following the Orion women's wishes. Basically it's not particularly different from the behavior that men already exhibit - after all, it's often enough for women to dress skimpily to drive men crazy.
But once again one has to doubt Archer's suitability as captain. Although he is aware of the beguiling manipulation effect of the Orion females, he has them guarded by MEN! And of course the three girls manage to get these men to release them with a snap of their fingers. Why didn't he assign female crew members? Apart from a bit of a headache, the effect of their pheromones on other women doesn't seem to have any disadvantages. There are enough women on the ship. Also among the MACOs (speaking of which, what happened to Amanda Cole, who was never seen again?). Or when Archer realizes that he too can't resist the influence of the Orion women: he basically had to hand over his command to T'Pol since she showed no signs of being manipulated. Instead, Archer risks making the wrong decisions as captain in a state of sexual delusion for no reason!
