- TriviaIn Tucker's obsession with improving the captain's chair, he says he plans to provide its armrests with access to tactical data. Future captain's chairs would in fact have this feature.
- GoofsIn the text Archer is writing about his father, there's a typo near the bottom: "his won" should be "his own."
- Quotes
[Archer has been asked to write the preface of his father's biography]
Captain Jonathan Archer: They only asked for a page. How am I supposed to sum up my father's life in a page? It would've been easier if they'd asked me to write the book.

Featured review
The Federation's flagship deserves nothing less than a massive golden throne for its captain
This episode is hilarious. Who would have thought that repairing the captain's chair would take so much time and planning.
The radiation from a nearby black hole bascially causes individual obsessions to emerge in everyone that would otherwise be suppressed professionally. Exactly what you often see in people who are thrown off track by a drastic experience in their lives and then fall into manic patterns that, when viewed from the outside, initially appear bizarre, but eventually take on obsessive traits. And everyone has their own inner demons, which then find their way to the surface. For some it's extreme sports, for others it's gambling and some get lost in their jobs or hoard junk in their house.
The crew members' neuroses are varied: Phlox sometimes seems to be too particular about medical treatment. Archer apparently feels he can't live up to his father's reputation. Sato is a perfectionist who can't handle it when someone criticizes her work. Reed sees danger everywhere and would like to have half the crew court-martialed for their lax attitude to safety on board. Tucker, on the other hand, finds no end when he sets out to complete an engineering task and completely loses sight of the big picture.
This episode is the first time I feel like I'm learning something about the crew. So far, most of the main characters have remained pale and boring. Maybe this episode should have been shown at the beginning of the series.
