Trivia
In 2013, Brannon Braga stated that he considers this to be one of the worst Star Trek episodes ever.

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 Admirable Crichton (Tripp)

This episode has some fun things going for it. First of all, a couple aliens who are having trouble with their ship are helped by Archer and the Enterprise. It turns out they are a couple low-lifes who have some interesting cargo. It is a gorgeous princess who is being taken to a planet to assume her role as royalty. She and Tripp end up together in a tight little escape pod, sparring all the way because she can't tolerate "commoners." There is all this sexual tension going on as they attempt to survive on a water covered planet. There is a great scene where Archer and T'Pol interrogate one of the aliens who was left behind, making him think he will be executed. T'Pol pretends to be a heartless judge who has already had 17 crewmen executed. Lots of fun, but, of course, very easy to figure out.
