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.
