My download has just finished, so here come my notes.
- The ship is badly wrecked (doh!). We see more use of the on-board workbee. There are 5 deaths initially, 14 later on.
- Archer is transfered aboard an Aquatic ship, in a small dry cell. The ship has a very thick hull.
- The traveling EPS surge announced by Engineering was a neat trick.
- The NX-01's 'primary warp coil' is badly damaged. Archer wants to trade a coil from 'Damar'. I believe this entire episode confuses the warp core with a 'warp coil'. Weird.
- First (and probably a slip-of-the-pen) mention of a stardate.
- Again a bald female villain.
- We have a MACO male called Richards. And another Corporal was named, but I didn't quite catch it. Forrester (the female MACO from the Western episode) is injured in the assault.

Xindi aquatic ship - do we see it onscreen? "Pod" in bay - is that just a coffin or does it travel in space?

I don't think we had an exterior shot of the Aqua ship. Unless this was one of the underwater ships from "Azati Prime".
That pod in the bay was presumably a shuttle, also capable of submarine operation.
I imagined that Casey Biggs' role would've been bigger.. In fact.. looking back on it, it could've been funny to actually make them Cardassians. We know that the old peaceful Cardassia had relations with Vulcan very early on.

Hmm, I�ve only seen pics, not the episode, so I might be confusing things. The "pod", is that the ship the stole in a previous episode? Or is it the same "pod" that Archer pops out of?

It's a pod launched from the Aqua ship. It's something of a conspiracy between Degra and the Aquatics against the Reptillians. The pod contains just Archer (it's not much bigger than a coffin..), and a document with coordinates to a specific location (as of this episode of unknown significance, but promos for the next episode reveal that it's a meeting with Degra).
Come to think of it.. if that 'coffin' shuttle was filled up with water, it would probably be big enough to be a 1-Aquatic shuttlepod.

Just saw the episode, didn�t Travis call it an escapepod?

There isn't really any continuation. Nothing has been resolved. If the 'warp coil' hadn't been damaged in the last 2 minutes of "Azati Prime", this episode wouldn't have been needed.

Vulcan did not have prior relations with Cardassia... the only mention is that an exiled Cardassian found his way to Vulcan.

I was always expecting that Degra and the other Xindi would just call off the attack seconds into the next episode. There was no other way that they would be able to get the NX-01 out of the pickle they were in. Annoying and disappointing, yes, but not surprising to me in the slightest.
My notes:
-- Was anyone else as surprised how easily T'Pol's spacesuit's air hose came apart? Granted, she fell pretty hard, but it seems to me it could've been the kind of accident that the suit should be built to avoid!
-- Y'know what that alien ship reminded me of? It looked like the upper/rear section of a Romulan warbird!
-- The NX-01's new top speed using the pilfered warp coil is Warp 3.2. We'll see how long they manage to hold on to that statistic!
-- It seems that just about everyone's gotten over their transporter phobia -- they could've used a shuttlepod instead. But of course, the transporter is convenient because it speeds up the story and helps the plot!

That is one interpretation of: "One of my previous hosts, Tobin, met him when he was in exile on Vulcan. He had quite a temper, I recall..."
Tobin was the Dax host approximately during the late 21st or early 22nd century.
