Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe fact that the secondary bridge was left in the catwalk after The Catwalk (2002) may demonstrate the original Starfleet concept of a battle bridge or Auxiliary Control Center.
- GoofsThere are several inconsistencies with whether or not the aliens gain knowledge of their hosts. They seem to be aware of many things that they would have no way of knowing without acquiring their hosts' knowledge (e.g. Reed thinks that T'pol is the most attractive female) but not others (e.g. that the female crewman was female).
- Quotes
Captain Jonathan Archer: You're taking over my crew! Why?
Alien in Sato's body: I understand how you may be frightened by all this - losing your substance, existing as perceptive energy. But you'll be grateful, once you've made the crossing, I promise you.
Captain Jonathan Archer: We're kind of fond of our substance. We're not very anxious to give it up!

Enterprise's flaws in a nutshell
Gorgeous and wondrous first act. Then they throw out all the fascinating wonder and it turns into generic boring gunfights.
This could and should have been this series' "Where No One Has Gone Before." Were perhaps some crew interested in the non corporeal experience? Possessed Trip nailed it when he said to Archer "you're an explorer, open your mind to new possibilities."
So many ways this could have gone. Why do these non corporeal beings have a massive spaceship? Perhaps they are Zetarian? Maybe they are eeevil and stole that ship. Maybe they were kidnapped.
Maybe they are friendly, and some of the crew try the soul swapping thing, but then it's less safe than thought and someone ends up long term possessed? That could have been interesting for one of the several underused characters.
Who knows, but so many possibilities and it becomes a generic shoot-em-up.
The producers claimed Enterprise failed because of Trek fatigue in the audience. I think it was Trek fatigue, but in the producers.
