** When Archer tries to coax Smike into telling him what his siblings are planning:
--->'''Archer:''' If the Klingons find them before we do--\\
'''Smike:''' Then more Klingons will die!\\
'''Chuck:''' That's, um, that's not a bad point, actually. "You've gotta help me, Lois Lane! If you don't, then that man with the crowbar is going to attack Superman!"
** Chuck makes another jab at "Dear Doctor":
--->'''Chuck:''' Doctor Lucas had been brought up in the show before; he was the one receiving the letter back in "Dear Doctor". Right now he is working to find the cure to deadly diseases and, based on that episode, I'm guessing to then file them away and never use them to save anyone at all.

** Chuck going for the obvious joke and comparing Trip and Reed hanging around a bar in flashy suits and trying to pick women to "The Roxbury Guys", complete with "What is Love?" playing in the background of that scene.
--->'''Chuck:''' I honestly don't know if it's better or worse if they did this intentionally. On the one hand, stumbling into it is ''precisely'' what I would expect from ''Enterprise'', but on the other, thinking that they are in on the joke, when they're actually making themselves the butt of the joke is also typically ''Enterprise''.
** When Keyla's dog appears on Archer's balcony, Chuck notices that the episode never actually explains how that could possibly happen.
--->'''Chuck:''' When Archer discovers that his neighbor's dog managed to get up on his balcony in the few ''seconds'' it took him to get a drink, he questions it, but quickly forgets about figuring out an answer. Unless that dog had superpowers, there is no way it got up here on its own. But the owner comes over and acts like it's nothing special that her pet can either: fly, stick to walls, has a spelunking kit, or can warp the fabric of space and time.

"Poetic justice" is a concept in fiction where evil is punished and good is rewarded, often combined with a sense of dramatic irony, I mean, not-- ''(frustrated noise)'' How is it possible to be so ignorant of both science ''and'' fiction and run a ''science fiction'' show?!
