Line 2:
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]:
** The blaring tones of "A Tall Ship" when we get our first glimpse of the ''Fitzgerald'', and again when the <s>runabout</s> shuttlecraft goes in for a landing and the camera swoops over the saucer section to show us the registry.
** The music during the battle sequence over New Romulus, a mix of [[Star Trek: First Contact|"39.1 Degrees Celsius,"]] [[Star Trek: Nemesis|"Team Work,"]] and [[Star Trek: Nemesis|"The Scorpion"]].
** The music during the montage sequence as the crew readies Prentice's plan, a brilliant use of [[Independence Day|"International Code"]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Prentice's piloting of the ship at New Romulus.
Line 15:
*** Hargrove even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the moment with a [[Deadpan Snarker]] line, "This is getting maudlin."
** The scene where Kendra contacts her ex-husband Merv to set things right.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: Early on in the production, many viewers complained about the "[alleged] human leading the Romulan fleet" aspect of the storyline, citing the events of [[Star Trek: Nemesis]] and questioning why the Romulans would be willing to become involved with a human again, much less take orders from one.
** On the same day as the thread was first posted, a Troll at Scifi-Meshes.com said that the early preview clips sounded [http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?77072-Star-Trek-Retribution&p=511595&viewfull=1#post511595 dumb] with the producer's temporary voice tracks; the same user later said he felt the producer was [http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?77072-Star-Trek-Retribution&p=511601&viewfull=1#post511601 too lazy to recruit a voice cast] and that the clips seemed "amateurish" as they were.
** The final straw came when the same [[Jerkass|individual]] made [http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?77072-Star-Trek-Retribution&p=512795&viewfull=1#post512795 this post:] "your episodes suck all it is is talking talkng talking the caracters hardly have any action there is no fighting its dull and just chatter boringggggggg."
*** Fans of ''Specter'' (as well as the site moderators) were...not amused.
Line 22:
* [[Fridge Logic]]/[[Fridge Brilliance]]. This movie is set in 2388, ten years after ''Nemesis''. When word broke that the ''Enterprise'' would be making an appearance, many viewers immediately assumed it would be the NCC-1701-E, but were surprised when it was actually starship's concept ''Enterprise''-F that showed up.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: Whereas ''Specter'' was largely a [[Coming of Age Story]] for the cast (and at times seemed to have the same flavor to it as the first season of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]''), this time everyone's grown up and has experience, and behaves more like the Starfleet crews to which we've grown accustomed.
* [[Hate Dumb]]: On the same day as the thread was first posted, a [[Troll]] at [http://www.Scifi-Meshes.com Scifi-Meshes.com] said that the early preview clips sounded [http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?77072-Star-Trek-Retribution&p=511595&viewfull=1#post511595 dumb] with the producer's temporary voice tracks; the same user later said he felt the producer was [http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?77072-Star-Trek-Retribution&p=511601&viewfull=1#post511601 too lazy to recruit a voice cast] and that the clips seemed "amateurish" as they were.
