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.

Once Again; Almost Done in By Being Nice

This is an entertaining episode where three aliens warn Archer that a storm is coming that will destroy all life on the ship unless they can warp out. Because they have inadequate warp speed, they move the entire crew to catwalks that are shielded. There are two issues, maybe three. First of all, the conditions are awful and the crew starts to become testy. Secondly, those aliens weren't exactly truthful and are causing problems. Thirdly, there are invaders on board, intent on taking Enterprise. This episode is more interesting than some and a nice change of pace.
