Trivia
At the 50th anniversary "Star Trek" convention in Las Vegas in August 2016, fans voted this the tenth worst episode of the "Star Trek" franchise.

Goofs
Captain Archer, when offering assistance to the freighter captain, says they "can dock in our launch bay." Unless Archer was referring to some other ship, the freighter that was shown docked with Enterprise in earlier shots is comparable in size to Enterprise itself and would in no way be able to fit inside Enterprise's launch bay, which is sized to fit shuttlepods and other small craft.

Quotes
[Archer is threatening Plinn with a tribunal]
Captain Jonathan Archer: From what I understand, Sub-Commander T'Pol has already reviewed the evidence. This... tribunal... is nothing more than a formality. I thought you should be prepared. Her punishments can be... severe.
Firek Plinn: How severe?
Captain Jonathan Archer: If you're late for your shift, you might receive a beating. But for more grievous offenses - dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming an officer...
[sighs]
Captain Jonathan Archer: We started out with 83 crewmen on board. We're down to 76.

The worst episode of the worst season of the worst series

Enterprise is without a doubt the worst iteration of the Star Trek franchise that made it to television. The premise of Enterprise was extremely promising; a prequel to the original Star Trek series wherein we would see earth's progression from embattled backwater to prime-position on the Federation. However, from the very beginning episode it became clear that the series was simply going to pander to the sexual frustrations/dysfunctions of the more die hard fans by showing a lot of skin and sexual tension (i.e. T'pol and Trip changing in front of each other, Captain Archer in the shower, male and female crew giving each other the up-and-down glances to foreshadow future "hook ups" written into the story etc). In this extremely bad episode, Trip is forced to rescue a Paris Hilton styled princess, with an excruciatingly horrible "performance" from Padma Lakshmi (she has got to be the worst walk-on actress ever) from some "bad guys". Of course there is the same basic sexual tensions, skin (she rips the bottom of her dress off during the escape) and wafer-thin dialogue. Poorly written, acted and cast. Truly the low-point all around.
