    I just saw this episode and never realized that Zefram Cochrane had a history that went back to The Original Series in 1967.

    For anyone curious, the character Zefram Cochrane first appears in ‘Metamorphosis’, the TOS episode from season two episode 9 … played by Glenn Corbett.

    The character was later featured in the 1996 Star Trek film … Star Trek: First Contact … and played by James Cromwell.

    I only mention this because it was a surprise to me.

    A surprise because the first appearance of Cochrane makes him look like a well groomed, uptight, upright military man … Then the 1996 version is a drunken idiot.

      Just like with the Klingons’ change, the Federation doesn’t like to talk about this.

      Well after brining about peace and prosperity, he sorts himself out.

      Actually I think he’s in the Enterprise pilot isn’t he? Giving a speech I think.
