Aha! McCoy's display of old doctor tools is on the wall usually occupied by the camera-crew!

When McGuyver says she knows who Khan is, I think she does know he's Singh, and chooses to flatter him instead of name him.

I like to think that Noonien Singh/Soong are a single guy, who later in life turned from trying to breed superior humans to trying to build them.

Luckily, watching all of Voyager immediately prior to starting Enterprise inured me to the latter's caustic effects.

So my theory now amounts to... Brent Spiner adopted Ricardo Montalban? I must admit, I don't remember how survivably Khan exits his titular movie.

PS: I get that there was a lot happening in this episode, so there wasn't time to develop McGuyver's character much, but it strikes me a bit odd how she never gives Khan *any* reason whatsoever to see her as his equal or a sufficiently superior wife.
