Line 28:
* [[Break Them by Talking]]: If you ever wondered what would happen if an El-Aurian used their keen insight against someone instead of counseling them - look out. Exemplified by Soran tearing Picard down by repeatedly discussing waning time and fire.
* [[Call Back]]: Shortly after the D12 is destroyed, the movie cuts to Geordi in engineering examining an open panel and in the middle of a conversation about the damage the ship's taken. He turns around and communicates with the bridge, only to be cut off as the panel he's just walked away from [[Explosive Instrumentation|explodes]] and engineering rapidly degenerates from being a mess to being an outright hazardous environment. As he's ushering everyone out, Geordi tells the bridge that they're a few minutes away from a warp-core breach he can't stop. This scene mirrors one from the episode ''Yesterday's Enterprise,'' where the ship was fatally damaged fighting Klingons in an alternate timeline.
** Also, while examining Soran's space station, Data reminds Geordi of a joke Geordi told Riker at Farpoint Station. As noted in [[Late to Thethe Punchline]], Farpoint Station was the setting for the pilot episode of TNG.
* [[Call to Agriculture]]: In the Nexus, Kirk was found chopping wood and frying eggs at a farm.
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: This is the entire reason for the horseback riding scene.
Line 85:
** Actually according to the epilogue, there were barely any casualties from the ''Enterprise's'' crew, this might be the only Star Trek movie where a great deal of red shirts don't die.
*** Expect for the refugees caught in the nexus, {{spoiler|a few Romulans, a ship full of Klingons an undetermined amount of researchers and Kirk}}, there are relativity only a few people dead at the end of the movie.
* [[Late to Thethe Punchline]]: Thanks to his new emotion chip, Data finally gets a joke from the Farpoint mission, which was in the [[Pilot]], seven years ago. This particular joke is never heard in the actual pilot, incidentally.
** This creates a [[Series Continuity Error]], considering Data can understand (if not entirely ''appreciate'') humour as early as the first season's end.
*** He'd understood the principles that underlie human humor, on an intellectual level. It's not until he has emotions that he can grasp how ''funny'' the joke was.
