YATI :

Well, Phlox's attitude sure has changed. Back in Vox Sola he refused an order to perform invasive tests on a severed tentacle for ethical reasons. Now he has no problem at all doing the same thing to the living components of the Xindi rifle.

Great Moment :

Nice to see that the Xindi aren't a stereotypically evil species.

Body Count :

Two seeker machines blasted.

Factoid :

We learn that there used to be six Xindi species, and they they warred on one another – the Avians were exterminated in the war.

Quote :

"I'm proud of my craft, captain. I've practiced it for many years. I won't let my work be corrupted in this way. Seven million people… if I'd chosen my clients more carefully that tragedy might not have happened. I don't intend to let it happen again." – Gralik to Archer.
