Did anyone get a good enough look at the Horizon's logo to do a decent sketch of it? I remember it was on the Captain's jacket, in the corridor outside the cargo bay, and on the front of the helm station. That last one was the largest and most easily visible, but the Captain was sitting in front of it most of the time.

That's called the Dutch Army IIRC. Bill O'Reilly talked about it on his show a while back, I just can't remember exactly who it was.

Just saw this episode now, because the damn local UPN affiliate decided to preempt the show for something as pointless as a basketball game featuring another Michael Jordan retirement.
Anyway, a few notes that haven't been mentioned yet:
I liked the reference to Deneva station -- the same colony from TOS times, and we know it's going to become the most populous colony.
Myself, I thought that ALL of the Horizon sets were redressed Enterprise scenery -- including the Bridge. (Although the Bridge could've been a rearranged modification of the old Defiant set.)
The aft section of the J-class itself, the modules, strongly reminded me of the aft section of the classic freighter Batris from TNG (sometimes called Antares-class). The TNG ship certainly didn't look separable, though.
The J-class freighter can carry a max of about 30,000 metric tons of cargo.
Were all of the ship's main compartments supposed to be in that small forward section? If so, why was Mayweather fiddling with the impulse engine relays inside a cargo bay? And if they're not, then how did some of the crew feel about being ditched in the immobile cargo modules? (Though I suppose separation could be a reasonably common procedure in an emergency, and they could normally have closed the airlocks between the two anyway when someone's not going between them.)
Good to see they're getting good mileage out of that old Voyager model. It was originally a small Akritiri fighter from "The Chute," and was reused as a large Lokirrim cruiser in "Body and Soul." At least this time they made the obvious connection and suggested that it was a Mazarite-built ship, which was the same species that used that design back in "Fallen Hero."
Overall, I thought this was a pretty good episode!

Actually, I think they made a small snafu here in that it was not actually the Mazarites that used this design, but rather the Kriosians in "Precious Cargo." (The Mazarites had their own unique vessels.)

Ahh, that's right. I knew ENT has used that ship before some time. But then, I've tried to forget about "Precious Cargo."

Yes, but I'm just saying that if they wanted to make a neat reference they could/should have said Kriosian instead.

Or mayweather just got them confused with one of the two dozen other "aliens of the week".

That's certainly understandable. After all, if someone randomly tuned in for one episode, they'd probably think Mayweather was a "crewman of the week."
