- At a convention in Seattle Dominic Keating said that the Enterprise will be attacked by a "white squid- like creature" in the episode. Scott Bakula (Jonathan Archer) and Connor Trinneer (Trip Tucker) hung from harnesses for hours wrapped up in a "white gushy thing" while the sequence was filmed. (February 27, 2002 - TrekToday)
- Roxann Dawson: "I really have to take my hat off to Scott [Bakula] and Connor [Trinneer] who spent days suspended in harnesses covered in slime without a single complaint. They were somehow able to maintain their sense of humour under extreme circumstances. [...] This episode was difficult, challenging and... well, at times I thought it was almost impossible. We had to create an alien organism which grows and takes over cargo bay, ensnaring some of the crew in its web. How do you create such a creature, make it believable and make it scary?"
