Trivia
This is the first time the term tricorder has been used to reference any scanning devices used by the crew. Phlox mentions that Sim took apart his medical tricorder out of curiosity. Until now, the devices had been referred to as "scanners."

Goofs
When discussing the larva, Phlox repeatedly uses the word "larvae" in conjunction with the pronoun "it". "Larvae" is the plural form of the noun. A doctor should know this.

Quotes
Sim: I'm sorry I doubted you, Doc.
Dr. Phlox: No need to apologize.
Sim: Yes, there is. You see, I don't just remember Trip's childhood. I remember mine. You made a damned good father.
Dr. Phlox: You were a damned good son.

Death of a Hero

In the first scene, we see the Enterprise crew attending a funeral for a fallen crew-member, and Archer is giving him a powerful eulogy. As the camera pans, the identity of that crew member is revealed, and it is a real shocker. To avoid a spoiler, I will say no more about the story.

Although the plot becomes somewhat predictable after a short while, what matters is not where it goes, but how it gets there. Once again, Levar Burton's directing talent takes a good script and makes it better. Bakula, Billingsly, Trinnear and Blalock all perform memorably in this ethical exploration and character study. One of Enterprise's best serious sci fi episodes.
