Trivia
If you look on the book shelf in Mayweather's quarters aboard the Horizon, there is a white book entitled "Gangsters of the 20th Century," suggesting that this is the same ship Horizon that played a major role in the backstory of A Piece of the Action (1968).

Goofs
Travis deliberately hides the Horizon's experience with the space pirates from Archer when the latter mentioned seeing hull damage on the ship, likely to show that he thinks his old cargo ship is fine on its own. But a Starfleet officer would certainly report this right away, both so the Enterprise could be on the lookout for the enemy aliens and so Starfleet could warn other cargo ships.

Quotes
Sub-Commander T'Pol: [to Phlox, during movie night] We can stop the film if it's disturbing your conversation.

Pros and Cons

This is probably the best Travis Mayweather-focused episode so far (watching in order), but that's a very low bar. Anthony Montgomery continues to sound like he's reading a teleprompter at a 3rd grade level, and it becomes all the more apparent when an actual professional actor like Corey Mendell Parker is on screen with him showing how it's supposed to be done.

I liked the exploration of the inner workings of a freighter ship, it was fun to see a different human lifestyle than Starfleet. The attitudes of the crew (or at least Travis' brother) toward Starfleet are interesting, since he sees them as competition for crewmen on his freighter.

The sub-plot of the crew's continued run of 'classic' movies (read: movies so old they are in the public domain, so licensing fees don't have to be paid to show them in a Star Trek episode) barely moves any plot needle, but T'Pol makes it worth watching anyway.

This episode had its pros and cons, nothing special but had enough moments to make it worth watching.
