i wonder if they ever went back to get him... they probably would have seen him when they towed Empok Nor to Bajor in 'Avatar'.. oh well.. BTW that episode was great, the second time i watched it a while back, i realized the nerve stimulation control panel and gear were lifted from one of the greatest TOS episodes ever...

Speaking of Adventures on Sigma Draconis, I was attempting to put together a ratings scheme the other day (I'm mulling over whether to go into the online reviewing biz) and attempting to set benchmarks and all that, and the thought struck me that Spock's Brain probably doesn't deserve a 0.0/10.0 or whatever ugly low number we could give it, for the simple reason that if I turn on TOS reruns and it comes on, I damn well want to sit down and watch it. The same cannot be said of "And the Children Shall Lead" or "Threshold." It makes for something of a quandary, no?
FWIW: On the Tom-o-scale, Detained gets a +3, or "DECENT". (It's a ghoulishly complex system, and thus very cool.)

According to the top secret conversion formulae, +3 means 8.0/10, or B+, or 3.5 stars out of the all-but-unattainable five (there are under 10 hours of Trek that grab the 5).

The Tom System is only slightly less intricate & confoundoluted than the Richter Scale of Culture.

Interesting how Enterprise messed up the Tandaran computer system with what appeared to be a fancy denial of service attack.

I was reading elsewhere about what may either be coolest example of uberobscure continuity yet, or a very very lucky coincidence. Back in Broken Bow, Trip sat beside a generic alien woman with something in a box. Have a close look at the make-up. Who sees a striking resemblance to a certain species that would later be shown to have gathered intelligence during that Rigel X stopover?

Wasn't that Iggy Pop? I May be remembering the wrong Vorta--know he played one though. Don't think it was him in this ep.

He was the other Vorta in that episode. The one with the submerged yet everpresent lust for life.
