Trivia
This is the only time in the entire "Enterprise" series run that 'chef', the ship's cook, appears on screen, although he doesn't speak and is filmed from the waist down only. As part of a running joke, he is ordinarily never seen, despite being mentioned throughout all seasons. Part of the reason for eluding him was out of respect for food stylist Dorothy Duder, who made all the show's food props and was therefore considered the "real" chef. The chef was played by frequent Star Trek stand-in Richard Sarstedt, who, coincidentally, was a stand in for Jonathan Frakes on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). Later, in These Are the Voyages... (2005), Frakes' character Riker plays the chef in a Holodeck program.

Goofs
Even if they couldn't outrun the wavefront, it wasn't very high, so they could simply have gone up or down instead of running in the direction it was traveling. This is one of many examples of them seeming to forget they can move in not two but three axes.

Quotes
Ensign Hoshi Sato: You're the Captain. Can't you order the storm to calm down a little?
Captain Jonathan Archer: I'll see what I can do.

Radioactive Storm and Invaders

Captain Archer is advised by three aliens that a dangerous storm is heading toward The Enterprise and will reach the ship in a couple of hours. T'Pol confirms that the radiation would be lethal for the crew, and Trip proposes to use the shielded catwalk to lodge the crew and the aliens that asked for shelter for eight days. However it would be necessary to shutdown the reactor to decrease the ambient temperature and move the controls to the remote location. Without any other alternative, Archer accepts the proposal. Three days later, Trip finds that the Enterprise has been invaded by aliens that want to deplete the ship.

"The Catwalk" is a good episode, where Archer and the crew need to retrieve the command of the Enterprise in a very dangerous situation. T'Pol in the end fraternizes with the rest of the crew, I am not sure whether following orders or feeling the need of sharing her attention with the other humans. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "A Passarela" ("The Catwalk")
