OK, so this mini-bomb apparently is a completely new one blinking and flashing thingie.
"I mean, down here there are literally hundreds and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking and beeping and flashing - they're flashing and they're beeping. I can't stand it anymore!"

I'm not really familiar with the Geography and landmark regions of San Francisco, but doesn't that look a bit underdeveloped, even on 21st Century terms, for the Bay Area?

I think it's a good representation of the bay area. Even today, much of our lower left view of the area near the bridge in the photo isn't developed. It's all hilly and stuff, and there's not much to do with it.

Boult: What do you mean "what's up" with the transmission? They were talking to Degra's ship, but there was either interference or the communications system was broken. I think the latter is most likely, considering everything that had just happened to the Enterprise. Besides, I think it was pretty much just a plot device to make the news of Archer's "death" a face-to-face thing.
Now, regarding the bomb that Archer stuck to the Xindi... Why did he hold on to one? He thought all the Xindi on the sphere were dead (which they were; the other one beamed over from the ship). Wouldn't he have wanted to make sure to explode the weapon as thoroughly as possible?

I think they're in 1940s, but that the temporal anomaly doesn't extend that far into orbit.
I'm leaning toward an idea similar to ST:First Contact. The Enterprise-E chased the Borg sphere through a temporal vortex to the "past." Before they entered the vortex they saw a "present" Earth assimilated.
Perhaps this is the same. Xindi Aquatic ship drops Enterprise off in the "present." However, humanity never survived WWII, therefore no orbital satellites, Lunar colonies or anyone to talk to.
The shuttle passes through a temporal vortex on the way to San Fransicso. It's now in the "past" along with Archer.
The telling thing will be if the Shuttlepod will be able to contact Enterprise.
I don't think there in the "present." The tech level is too far off. What would keep Earth at mid 20th century tech level for so long? P-51s over San Fransicso and Nazis on the battlefront with no electricity (the medic used a kerosene lantern to shine on Archer).

However Trip and Travis did seem to see Starfleet Headquarters right before being attacked by the three P-51s. And you still haven't explained (or try to) the alien Nazi.

Perhaps they did see everything intact off-screen and then it vanished. There's definitely no Starfleet Headquarters or the other buildings we've previously seen near the bridge (there should be buildings near the bridge on our left).

It was directly next to the bridge in the Kirk movies, but I assume it's not the same one.

Nevermind about the off-screen/vanishing act; I just watched that part again and they say it looks normal even after the aerial view. :/
