      This episode establishes that Hoshi initiated the convention of using the word "beam" as a verb.
    • Goofs
      The fact that Trip Tucker's eating is fake becomes obvious when he swallows several times, yet continues to chew immediately afterwards - and all without ever putting more food into his mouth.
    • Quotes

      Ensign Hoshi Sato: I'm not convinced that the transporter put me back the way it's supposed to.

      Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: "All the king's horses and all the king's men."

    I should have done the ironing instead
    Hoshi takes her maiden voyage on the transporter and finds herself experiencing some alarming after effects.

    I like Hoshi's character as I find it appealing to see someone in the crew with lower confidence levels than your usual Star Trek types. The fact that they have stuck with this side of her personality is also good from a continuity perspective. This episode focuses on her struggles to be recognised and her feelings of inadequacy.

    Unfortunately it's not really done in a very compelling way. Yet another transporter incident within the Trek franchise, which is traditionally a good sign, but this seems to go off in a very random direction. It eventually hooked me in as the episode drew to a close and then I saw the big reveal. After that I pretty much wished that I'd spent the last forty minutes doing that massive pile of ironing that's building up on my bedroom floor.

    Additionally I found Archer and Trip Tucker quite irritating in this one. It's difficult to explain why this shouldn't been the case without spoiling the plot line, but regardless of what was really happening they still annoyed me and the twist at the end made no difference.
