Line 11:
{{tropelist}}
* [[2-D Space]]: Subtly averted. When the ''Enterprise'' and ''Kronos One'' first rendezvous, they are not aligned in the same plane. ''Enterprise'' very diplomatically adjusts to match the Chancellor's ship. Later, the Bird of Prey fires one of its torpedoes perpendicularly to the plane of the saucer section of the ''Enterprise'', damaging it extensively.▼
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: McCoy's quip about feeling pretty good "aside from a touch of arthritis" is met with stone cold silence. Accompanied by ''one Klingon laughing his frigging ass off''.
** McCoy looks pleased by his reaction, too. Chang, however, was not amused.
Line 142 ⟶ 143:
*** The fact that Uhura explicitly mentions that she can speak three obscure dialects of Romulan in the 2009 Star Trek movie could be considered a [[Take That]] to this scene.
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom|Praxis Shattering Kaboom]]: The event that kicked off the events of the movie. The real-world analogue is the Chernobyl plant disaster that weakened the Soviet Union just enough to get the ball rolling.
* [[
* [[Revenge Before Reason]]: Kirk certainly walks the line at first.
{{quote|'''Spock:''' Jim, they are dying.
Line 177 ⟶ 178:
** This trope is mostly avoided for all other scenes involving the Klingons on their own, however. Subtitles are used in all-Klingon scenes in almost all movies.
** For some reason, it almost always switches to English whenever Chang starts talking, sometimes right after some untranslated Klingon. Maybe Christopher Plummer has trouble chewing scenery in Klingon.

''Enterprise'' very diplomatically adjusts to match the Chancellor's ship. Later, the Bird of Prey fires one of its torpedoes perpendicularly to the plane of the saucer section of the ''Enterprise'', damaging it extensively.
* [[Wasn't That Fun?]]: After General Chang's Bird-of-Prey blasting away at the helpless Enterprise with yet another [[Screen Shake]]:
{{quote|'''McCoy:''' Well, this is fun.}}
Line 187:
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: General Chang might be willing to plunge the quadrant into war, but damn if he can't quote Shakespeare with the best of them!
* [[Wild Hair]]: The Federation President's mustache almost earned its own acting credit.
