Trivia
This episode was nominated for a Hugo Award for "Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form".

Goofs
In the original broadcast and DVD version, the the period-appropriate song "Crazy Arms" by Ray Price is being played when the Vulcans enter the bar. In 2011 when Carbon Creek was remastered for Blu-ray and international distribution CBS replaced it with the 2009 song "Gently Falls" by Dave Colvin, possibly due to copyright restrictions. This change creates a double anachronism of sorts. The song is not correct for the show's 1957 setting, nor did it even exist at the time of the original 2002 broadcast.

Quotes
[Mestral tries to persuade T'Mir to let him play pool against Billy]
Mestral: The game is based on simple geometry. It wouldn't challenge a Vulcan child.
T'Mir: No!
Mestral: We need their currency.
T'Mir: What if you lose? I'll have to... socialize with him.
[Mestral shoots a glance at Billy]
Mestral: Would you rather die of starvation?

T'Pol entertains and out humours the humans

Any Trek episode where T'Pol entertains and out humours the humans is a brilliant one for us all. There are quite a few dud Enterprise episodes and whilst this one is an unusual storyline it is one of the best if not the best since Season 1 Episodes 1&2.
