And did you catch all the 2001 references? I mean, what with the "stars" through the "window" and the "ship" being in "outer space." It was an homage fest!

No, seriously, I think it's obvious that Sussman and Strong are TOS/TAS fans, considering all the points mentioned earlier. Or they have a friend who is, or something in this line. I'd be more surprised if they consulted their handy-dandy periodic table and found Osmium than I would if they remembered it from "That Which Survives" or, even more simply, looked in a copy of either the Star Trek Concordance or Star Trek Encyclopedia. Given the other (quite specific) homages, I'd doubt highly that it was just a coincidence.

*bump* For this week's re-run. Any further thoughts?

I'm guessing we'll be seeing the Catwalk in season 3 and subsequently. It's too cool a set to destroy otherwise. One wonders if NX-02 and sisters will be incorporating stuff like a Catwalk command post into their design..?

Actually, I caught this episode for the first time on the Sunday re-rerun. I certainly didn't think it was a bad episode.

And I'm not sure if anyone missed it or it was just not mentioned, but there was a starlog date of September 18th, 2152 mentioned.

Also, one of the movies mentioned was "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

And, according to dialog, 'the crew and the Enterprise are the best and the sturdiest in the fleet'. Which seems to be related to something mentioned in the "Earth Ship" thread.
