* While the writers clearly intended T'Pol's casting to be for fan service it ended up serving a better purpose, reinforcing one of the few themes they had working in the beginning. When Cochrane made first contact with the Vulcans, we who were masters of our realm were now children again and the Vulcans were adults, smarter and wiser about the new world we were about to enter. By Enterprise era, we're in our late adolescence, having grown up faster than our parents expected, chafing under their rules, ready to break out and explore the world on our own. But they were still smarter and wiser. This is all reinforced on the Enterprise with the adolescent acting Archer butting heads with the calm measured presence of T'Pol. She was smarter, more experienced and physically superior; a constant reminder that made the humans aboard feel somewhat inadequate. So it helps that she's also beautiful, which both makes all of that more visually present and makes her seem that much more superior, having seemingly no flaws. This is one instance in which a flawless character can serve the story.

* Zefram Cochrane's paraphrasing of the classic introduction from TOS and TNG may seem like a mere ContinuityNod at first. When given a little thought, you realize: Kirk based his speech upon Cochrane's! Picard more likely paraphrased from Kirk, but when you realize that the speech was first made by Cochrane it has much more meaning every time you hear it.
