Clancy Brown, best known for roles in 'Highlander' and 'Starship Troopers,' will appear as "a charismatic alien leader" called Zobral.
You had to look hard to see the sailors -- in the back of Engineering, hiding somewhere along the coridoors, etc.
As well as being Kurgan in 'Highlander', Clancy Brown was also in 'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension', 'Dead Man Walking' and was Danziger in 'Earth 2'.
The intra-series continuity in the episode is good, as it shows the consequences of Archer's actions in "Detained", and continues their attempts to reach Risa in "Two Nights and Two Days". Star trek should always be like this.
Zobral has heard stories about the exploits of the Enterprise, and he thinks that Archer is a great military leader who freed thousands of prisoners against great odds. Could this be a dig at the way internet rumours are spread?
What was that Suliban artifact that Archer was given? Looked weird!
Enterprise loses it's first ShuttlePod!! They leave 'Pod One' behind.
More Proto-Prime Directive building here:
T'Pol: "Contacting new worlds always involves unexpected risks, the High Command has very specific protocols involving planetary conflicts. Eventually, Captain Archer will have to develop some directives of his own."
T'Pol: "What you told him was correct. Decisions to get involved in conflicts on other worlds should be left to Governments, not Starship Captains."
