Great notes, as always.

In addition to the already-cited references, the Beagle could additionally be a sly reference to Archer’s pal Porthos.

Interestingly, Jolene Blalock is credited simply as “Jolene”. EDIT: Mike McMahan says this was at her request. https://bsky.app/profile/mikemcmahan.bsky.social/post/3ld3v4usznc2i

Our T’Pol also had some indirect experience with the concept of katra transference when Archer briefly carried Surak’s katra.

Nice notes, as usual.

V’Ger is the antagonist in TMP

Also it’s in the Lower Decks opening credit sequence this year.

the Cambodian word for “toilet” is bangkon, which is pronounced similarly.

Interesting catch. That didn’t occur to me, ហើយខ្ញុំចេះភាសារខ្មែរ។

Nurse Westlake is named after Chris Westlake

He’s also appeared as far back as the series premiere, though he’s rarely spoken until now, and I don’t think he’s ever said more than a couple of lines.
