Whats not to say the ECA or even independant humans trade with the Orions or are traders themselves? Captain Pike was portrayed as one, as well as the two fellows at his table, in "The Cage" and it didnt seem too out of the ordinary for them in the scenario.

Arik had an association with them, so they are known to be tolerant with humans, I'm sure, for a price.

That is indeed correct. Welcome to the board.

Supposedly, Roddenberry knew a guy named "Noonian Singh" or something similar during the war.

(The magazine article where I read this went on to claim that he named characters after that man because he had lost touch with him, and hoped that the guy would see his name on TV and give him a call, or something; but I don't know how much we should rely on half-remembered articles I read a decade ago.)

I remember reading that somewhere too... and that the person never contacted him.

Anyone else pick out any aliens?? I thought one looked rather like the Xindi Reptilians - but different I think - trying to make milage out of the prosthetics?

There was a human-looking woman bidding... her nose was bajoran-esque but not bajoran - more like the noses from the 'drug' episode from Season 1 TNG.

These are called 'Westmore aliens'. They're made up of whatever's lying around.

I think I did spot a few of the 'silly hat aliens' from DS9. And a lot of people in robes. These might be related to the robed guys from "Journey to Babel". Or perhaps Landru wants some slaves.

Big Show, the actor playing the Orion/T'pol puppetmaster, is a huge fusker! It was strange seeing him without his facial hair, and the green paint.

I see.

Verifications of spellings, etc., from the closed-captioning log:

Trialas (System where Soong raised the Augments.)

Verex III (Location of Orion slave-processing station.)

Neurolytic restraints (Soong's technical description of the slave-inhibitor chips.)

And the Orion auctioning T'Pol said she sold for "three million six" of an undisclosed unit of currency. This corrects my earlier post.

Well closed captioning isn't always right - I'd say it was 3 million 'secs' or something.
