The movie Phlox watches in the episode is 1956's The Court Jester.

   
Catheter bags and bed pans for everyone? Phlox has to check in on the crew regularly... maybe this is one of his jobs.
   
The crew is not put in 'biologocal stasis', they are simply placed in a comatose/sleep state - their neo-cortices shut down. Presumably, their digestive systems are still functional, as Phlox tells Tucker that he is feeling 'woozy' because he hasn't eaten in four days. I would think the crew would be in an awfully "icky" state when they woke up - unless the crew is really good at holding full bladders, in their sleep, for four days.
   
When Phlox is searching for the Xindi, he says that he will begin his search on "G" deck. Later, he says that Enterprise has seven decks. I thought Enterprise only had six decks.
   
T'Pol said the spatial anomaly is similar to one encountered "several weeks ago." If she is referring to the blobby thing from "Harbinger", there is a time discrepency. In "Strategem", Enterprise sets course for Azati Prime, a three-week journey. In that episode, Degra was caught Dec. 12, and dialogue indicated the episode spanned maybe 3 to 5 days, so say Enterprise set course for Azati Prime Dec. 17. "Harbinger" takes place Dec. 27, when the transdimensional anomaly was found. So Enterprise should arrive at Azati Prime between Jan. 10-15, accounting for delays, about "several weeks". So T'Pol's comment would seem to imply they should be at Azati Prime already "several weeks" seems to me to indicate more than two). And yet in this episode we have another four days, plus there is another episode next week before the "Azati Prime" episode. So just how many delays has Enterprise had since starting the trip to Azati Prime?
